This is not a specially religious mistake. We think of supernaturalism when faith is mentioned, but the naturalistic description of the world also operates on assumptions that require a faith as robust as does the most soaring mysticism. The usual efforts to skirt faith beg all the questions there are. A psychiatrist, for instance, who points out to you that you believe in God the Father because you need a father, or that you became a missionary to expiate your guilt feelings, may be quite correct, but he has not touched on the prior question as to whether there is, in fact, a cosmic father figure who is the archetype of all other fathers, or whether there is an evangel worth spending your life promulgating.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7701</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men who wish to know about the world must learn about it in its particular details. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64727]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men who wish to know about the world must learn about it in its particular details.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64727</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sooth'd with the sound, the king grew vain: Fought all his battles o'er again;  And thrice he routed all ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60376]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sooth'd with the sound, the king grew vain: Fought all his battles o'er again;  And thrice he routed all his foes, and thrice he slew the slain.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60376</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The forecasts are optimistic.
