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[Happy thou that learnest from another's griefs, not to subject thyself to the same. [Lat., Felix quicumque dolore alterius disces ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14405]]></link><description><![CDATA[Happy thou that learnest from another's griefs, not to subject thyself to the same. [Lat., Felix quicumque dolore alterius disces posse cavere tuo.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14405</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[After 9/11, security cooperation with Australia became essential - it's part of the grand defense strategy of the US. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40296]]></link><description><![CDATA[After 9/11, security cooperation with Australia became essential - it's part of the grand defense strategy of the US.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40296</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can get anything in life you want if you will just help enoughother people get what they want. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21194]]></link><description><![CDATA[You can get anything in life you want if you will just help enoughother people get what they want.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21194</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The ideal social state is not that in which each gets an equal amount of wealth, but in which each ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61388]]></link><description><![CDATA[The ideal social state is not that in which each gets an equal amount of wealth, but in which each gets in proportion to his contribution to the general stock.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61388</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The mind forgets but the heart always remembers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63170]]></link><description><![CDATA[The mind forgets but the heart always remembers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63170</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I passed a typing test and became a member of the staff of Rear Adm.

Thus they would explain away the significance of the popular belief that our Lord wrought signs and wonders. But in so doing they set themselves a worse problem than they evade. If miracles were so very common, it would be as easy to believe that Jesus wrought them as that He worked at His father's bench, but also it would be as inconclusive.  And how then are we to explain the astonishment which all the evangelists so constantly record? On any conceivable theory, these writers shared the beliefs of that age, and so did the readers who accepted their assurance that all were amazed, and that His report "went out straightway everywhere into all the region of Galilee." These are emphatic words, and both the author and his readers must have considered a miracle to be more surprising than modern critics believe they did. Yet we do not read of any one was converted by this miracle. All were amazed, but wonder is not self-surrender. They were content to let their excitement die out -- as every violent emotion must -- without any change of life, any permanent devotion to the new Teacher and His doctrine.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7063</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hell is paved with priests' skulls. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19129]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hell is paved with priests' skulls.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19129</guid></item></channel></rss>
