It is only in the secondary esoteric sphere of the religious life that we find guarantees and a general attempt to compel faith. To demand guarantees and proofs of faith is to fail to understand its very nature by denying the free, heroic act which it inspires. In really authentic and original religious experience, to the existence of which the history of the human spirit bears abundant witness, faith springs up without the aid of guarantees and compelling proofs, without any external coercion or the use of authority.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6549</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[a long road to go. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36964]]></link><description><![CDATA[a long road to go.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36964</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[While farmers generally allow one rooster for ten hens, ten men are scarcely sufficient to service one woman. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27315]]></link><description><![CDATA[While farmers generally allow one rooster for ten hens, ten men are scarcely sufficient to service one woman.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27315</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The way to preserve the peace of the church is to preserve its purity ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52588]]></link><description><![CDATA[The way to preserve the peace of the church is to preserve its purity]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52588</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is an important event because it's part of the ongoing initiative to clean up Marshalltown and present a better ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39817]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is an important event because it's part of the ongoing initiative to clean up Marshalltown and present a better image and appearance.
