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[The plethora of special effects -- some dazzling, some clumsy -- make "Harry Potter" at times resemble a generic Hollywood ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33114]]></link><description><![CDATA[The plethora of special effects -- some dazzling, some clumsy -- make "Harry Potter" at times resemble a generic Hollywood horror movie.

It is to be something very different from the man of to-day. It is to have a spirit yet streaming from the waters of baptism; it is to believe in love, to believe in loveliness, to believe in belief; it is to be so little that the elves can reach to whisper in your ear; it is to turn pumpkins into coaches, and mice into horses, lowness into loftiness, and nothing into everything, for each child has its fairy godmother in its own soul.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20944</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The achievements which society rewards are won at the cost of diminution of personality. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46216]]></link><description><![CDATA[The achievements which society rewards are won at the cost of diminution of personality.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46216</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I like trying [to get pregnant].
