Our argument does not claim that evidences are so clear that faith is not needed. We do intend to imply, however, that the choice of a set of assumptions is a moral choice. Adherence to an epistemology is not something which merely "happens to" a person, but instead it reflects a component of his moral development. In some sense he is, in my judgment, morally responsible for adopting an epistemology even though it can be neither proved nor disproved to the satisfaction of those who oppose it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7179</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you are guaranteed you will win, you can take very inflammatory, very extreme positions.
