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[Pansies in soft April rains Fill their stalks with honeyed sap  Drawn from Earth's prolific lap. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45449]]></link><description><![CDATA[Pansies in soft April rains Fill their stalks with honeyed sap  Drawn from Earth's prolific lap.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45449</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[She's going to be vital to us.
