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[I wish that every human life might be pure transparent freedom. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16725]]></link><description><![CDATA[I wish that every human life might be pure transparent freedom.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16725</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Despite all of the known benefits of exercise, there are also well-documented associations between acute episodes of exertion and sudden ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31790]]></link><description><![CDATA[Despite all of the known benefits of exercise, there are also well-documented associations between acute episodes of exertion and sudden cardiac death.

The man whose prayer is so pure that he never asks God for anything does not know who God is, and does not know who he is himself: for he does not know his own need of God. All true prayer somehow confesses our absolute dependence on the Lord of life and death. It is, therefore, a deep and vital contact with Him whom we know not only as Lord but as Father. It is when we pray truly that we really are. Our being is brought to a high perfection by this.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7519</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We didn't plan in advance to close anything.
