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[I pray, what flowers are these? The pansy this,  O, that's for lover's thoughts. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45438]]></link><description><![CDATA[I pray, what flowers are these? The pansy this,  O, that's for lover's thoughts.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45438</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thou hast made us for thyself, O Lord, and our hearts are restless until they find their rest in thee. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8451]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thou hast made us for thyself, O Lord, and our hearts are restless until they find their rest in thee.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8451</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The longest journey a man must take is the eighteen inches from his head to his heart ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59568]]></link><description><![CDATA[The longest journey a man must take is the eighteen inches from his head to his heart]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59568</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think when you're in a relationship where you really care for the other person, when they achieve their dreams ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66299]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think when you're in a relationship where you really care for the other person, when they achieve their dreams it's better than when you do yourself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66299</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They are not seeing lots of cases of flu. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39765]]></link><description><![CDATA[They are not seeing lots of cases of flu.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39765</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A great fortune enslaves its owner. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51571]]></link><description><![CDATA[A great fortune enslaves its owner.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51571</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is a luminous halo, a semi-transparent envelope surrounding us from the beginning. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25005]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life is a luminous halo, a semi-transparent envelope surrounding us from the beginning.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25005</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Preaching is effective as long as the preacher expects something to happen-not because of the sermon, not even because of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48062]]></link><description><![CDATA[Preaching is effective as long as the preacher expects something to happen-not because of the sermon, not even because of the preacher, but because of God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48062</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think there's room in the decision for an appeal. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29215]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think there's room in the decision for an appeal.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29215</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You won't see a lot of helicopters or concrete trucks this year, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33928]]></link><description><![CDATA[You won't see a lot of helicopters or concrete trucks this year,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33928</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A woman has two smiles that an angel might envy - the smile that accepts a lover before words are ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3608]]></link><description><![CDATA[A woman has two smiles that an angel might envy - the smile that accepts a lover before words are uttered, and the smile that lights on the first born babe, and assures it of a mother's love.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3608</guid></item></channel></rss>
