Take the "obvious things" about Christ as listed by a contemporary minister:  He was a popular and controversial preacher; He gathered a group of followers; He spent most of his time with the disinherited; He taught with authority; He never married; He never (so far as we know) held a job; He did not participate in public affairs; He did not have income, property, or an address; He was in bitter and frequent conflict with the religious and political authorities; He seemed to expect that the world would be eminently, radically, and supernaturally transformed; He attacked the traditions and values of his own people; He practically forced the authorities to prosecute and execute him. There is nothing exclusively religious, much less Christian, in this description, which, with a few exceptions, might apply also to Socrates or to "Che" Guevara. I asked many socially oriented ministers why they were Christians at all. Some said through faith, and some said that Christianity gave them courage and the motivation to endure (but so do other beliefs). Some said they hardly knew and that, if another, more acceptable, ideology came along, they would embrace it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6816</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For the king knoweth of these things, before whom also I speak freely: for I am persuaded that none of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54970]]></link><description><![CDATA[For the king knoweth of these things, before whom also I speak freely: for I am persuaded that none of these things are hidden from him; for this thing was not done in a corner.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54970</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't let it end like this.
