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[They say I was a bad Batman, that it was my fault, that I buried the franchise.

Every principle of selection, every separation connected with it that is not necessitated quite objectively by common work, local conditions, or family connections is of the greatest danger to a Christian community. When the way of intellectual or spiritual selection is taken, the human element always insinuates itself and robs the fellowship of its spiritual power and its effectiveness for the Church, and drives it into sectarianism.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8602</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're looking at new places in that part of the world. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31677]]></link><description><![CDATA[We're looking at new places in that part of the world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31677</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The highest qualities of character must be earned. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41193]]></link><description><![CDATA[The highest qualities of character must be earned.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41193</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are slipping back into a war situation.

You may attribute miracles to Him, but not nonsense. This is no limit to His power. If you choose to say, "God can give a creature free will and at the same time withhold free will from it", you have not succeeded in saying anything about God: meaningless combinations of words do not suddenly acquire meaning simply because we prefix to them the two other words "God can." It remains true that all things are possible with God: the intrinsic impossibilities are not things but nonentities. It is no more possible for God than for the weakest of His creatures to carry out both of two mutually exclusive alternatives -- not because His power meets an obstacle, but because nonsense remains nonsense even when we talk it about God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8558</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are hermit souls that live withdrawn In the place of their self-content;  There are souls like stars that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19857]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are hermit souls that live withdrawn In the place of their self-content;  There are souls like stars that dwell apart,   In a fellowless firmament;    There are pioneer souls that blaze their paths     Where highways never ran,--      But let me live by the side of the road,       And be a friend to man.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19857</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is so much good in the worst of us, and so much bad in the best of us, that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54758]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is so much good in the worst of us, and so much bad in the best of us, that it hardly becomes any one of us to talk about the rest of us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54758</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What a fool does in the end, the wise do in the beginning. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16389]]></link><description><![CDATA[What a fool does in the end, the wise do in the beginning.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16389</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Power (n): The only narcotic regulated by the SEC instead of the FDA. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47428]]></link><description><![CDATA[Power (n): The only narcotic regulated by the SEC instead of the FDA.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47428</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Folks who have no vices have plaguey few virtues. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60551]]></link><description><![CDATA[Folks who have no vices have plaguey few virtues.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60551</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who serves the public is a poor animal; he worries himself to death and no one thanks him for ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52468]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who serves the public is a poor animal; he worries himself to death and no one thanks him for it. [Ger., Wer dem Publicum dient, ist ein armes Thier;  Er qualt sich ab, niemand bedankt sich dafur.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52468</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The biggest thing here is what inventories are looking like and what demand is looking like for the first quarter. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32032]]></link><description><![CDATA[The biggest thing here is what inventories are looking like and what demand is looking like for the first quarter.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32032</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Peter Chanel, Religious, Missionary in the South Pacific, Martyr, 1841 I know the road to Jericho   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6379]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Peter Chanel, Religious, Missionary in the South Pacific, Martyr, 1841 I know the road to Jericho   It's in a part of town That's full of factories and filth.

Life is a process of becoming, and the moment of death is the transition from one life to another. Thus it is possible for a Christian to succumb to his own kind of death-wish, to seek that extreme of other-worldliness to which the faith has always been liable, especially in periods of stress and uncertainty. There may appear a marked preoccupation with death and a rejection of all temporal things. To say that this world is in a fallen state and that not too much value must be set upon it, is very far from the Manichaean error of supposing it to be evil throughout. The Christian hope finds ambivalence in death: that which destroys, also redeems.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6419</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thank God men cannot fly, and lay waste the sky as well as the earth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64745]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thank God men cannot fly, and lay waste the sky as well as the earth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64745</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Shared sovereignty doesn't work, because sovereignty depends on being able to exercise authority, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42451]]></link><description><![CDATA[Shared sovereignty doesn't work, because sovereignty depends on being able to exercise authority,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42451</guid></item></channel></rss>
