They, too, stress the leap of faith and make irrationality almost a principle, dismissing the serious questions of seeking modern men as intellectual smoke-screens or diversions to conceal deeper personal problems. All this masks a desperate intellectual insecurity, barely disguised by the surrounding hedge of taboos to preserve purity. The strident intolerance of much guilt-driven evangelism betrays the same insecurity. In these circles, much that is taught has to be unlearned in the wider school of life, and it is not surprising that universities are littered with dropouts from such groups. Their non-rational, subjective faith is cruelly punctured by varsity-level questions, and many manage to survive only by resorting to a severely schizophrenic faith which they hold to be true religiously but not intellectually, historically, or scientifically.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6697</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Humanity is the sin of God. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19982]]></link><description><![CDATA[Humanity is the sin of God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19982</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[She was outstanding all around.

Let us not think of it vaguely, and fall into the heretical fancy that the Son of God became man merely to transact certain things which were necessary to secure the salvation of men, and that after this object was achieved His human nature recedes into the background and impenetrable obscurity. No, it is not so; all-important as His work on earth was -- the only foundation of our hope and blessedness -- let us adore the revealed mystery that God gave us His Son, never to recall Him, as it were, and take Him away from us; He spared Him not and gave Him to us, allowing Him to become man, exalting Him as the Son of Man, enthroning Him because of his obedience unto death, and giving unto Him as the Son of Man all power in heaven and earth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7127</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But we know the three S's still happen: shoot, shovel and shut up. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29170]]></link><description><![CDATA[But we know the three S's still happen: shoot, shovel and shut up.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29170</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oh, if only I did nothing simply as a result of laziness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24388]]></link><description><![CDATA[Oh, if only I did nothing simply as a result of laziness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24388</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who gives himself airs of importance, exhibits the credentials of impotence. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50545]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who gives himself airs of importance, exhibits the credentials of impotence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50545</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am concerned about their offense.
