Men in my platoon who had served time in Vietnam told me many stories—but none more chilling than the one from two helicopter pilots. They told me how they would shoot the friendlies on their way back from reconnaissance missions just so they could empty their ammunition before returning to base. The friendlies were South Vietnamese women and children, helpless victims in a war they did not understand. But to the American pilots, they were simply dots on the ground.Whitehead is a political conservative.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45956</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Continuing a short series on topics of Christian apologetics:  The critical scholar is not committed, within the area of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6249]]></link><description><![CDATA[Continuing a short series on topics of Christian apologetics:  The critical scholar is not committed, within the area of his research, to accepting the Church's presuppositions about Jesus, but he should not be committed to accepting naturalistic presuppositions either. If he does accept the latter, then the results of his research will in all probability contradict the beliefs of the Church, but this is because he has begged the question from the start. In examining, for instance, the evidence for the virginal conception [of Jesus], if he begins with the presupposition that such an event is impossible he will end with the same conclusion; if he begins with the presupposition that it is possible he may end with the conclusion that the evidence for it is good or that it is bad or that it is inconclusive. This is as far as scholarship can take him. The Christian will accept the virginal conception as part of the Church's faith. (Continued tomorrow).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6249</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't interfere with anything in the Constitution.

A. C. McGiffert, A History of Christian Thought  August 21, 2000   At the very moment when the pulpit has fallen strangely silent about sin, fiction can talk of little except evil, not indeed viewed as sin, but apparently as the invariable ways of a peculiarly repulsive insect, which it can't help, poor thing; and there is no manner of use expecting anything from it, except the nastiness natural to it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7870</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life, the gift of nature, Love, the gift of life, a Kiss, the gift of Love ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23863]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life, the gift of nature, Love, the gift of life, a Kiss, the gift of Love]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23863</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Inventory is definitely moving up there, but we're still in the middle of a seller's market.
