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[God appears, and God is Light,  To those poor souls who dwell in Night; But does a Human Form ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8480]]></link><description><![CDATA[God appears, and God is Light,  To those poor souls who dwell in Night; But does a Human Form display  To those who dwell in realms of Day.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8480</guid></item></channel></rss>
