The Colloquies of Erasmus    April 30, 1998  Commemoration of Pandita Mary Ramabai, Translator of the Scriptures, 1922  What keeps most men in "Christian" countries from being heretics in this sense is that they do not publicly avow their disbelief: it is in better taste to be casual about lost beliefs, and a note of wistfulness generally ensures forgiveness. Obstinacy is rare. Millions do not even know that they deny essential Christian doctrines: they have never bothered to find out what the essential doctrines are. In extenuation they may plead that the evasiveness and the multiplicity of churches create a difficulty; but to be deterred by this when one's eternal destiny is said to be at stake bespeaks a glaring lack of seriousness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7711</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Truth must necessarily be stranger than fiction, for fiction is the creation of the human mind and therefore congenial to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25347]]></link><description><![CDATA[Truth must necessarily be stranger than fiction, for fiction is the creation of the human mind and therefore congenial to it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25347</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Pleasure's a sin, and sometimes sin's a pleasure. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46722]]></link><description><![CDATA[Pleasure's a sin, and sometimes sin's a pleasure.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46722</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I do know the Spelling family.

It would not be true to affirm that the denominations are not religious groups with religious purposes; but it is true that they represent the accommodation of religion to the caste system. They are emblems, therefore, of the victory of the world over the church, of the secularization of Christianity, of the church's sanction of that divisiveness which the church's gospel condemns.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6473</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A good cigar is as great a comfort to a man as a good cry is to a woman. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27220]]></link><description><![CDATA[A good cigar is as great a comfort to a man as a good cry is to a woman.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27220</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The reason we feel hurt and anger when things and people outside us letus down is because we believe those ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21447]]></link><description><![CDATA[The reason we feel hurt and anger when things and people outside us letus down is because we believe those things and people shouldn't.
