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://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7179</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Only the mediocre are always at their best! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5652]]></link><description><![CDATA[Only the mediocre are always at their best!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5652</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're investing a lot at being able to store massive amounts of storage in the cloud, as cheaply as possible. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30655]]></link><description><![CDATA[We're investing a lot at being able to store massive amounts of storage in the cloud, as cheaply as possible.

The worst thing a book can do for a Christian is to leave him with the impression that he has received from it anything really good; the best it can do is to point the way to the Good he is seeking. The function of a good book is to stand like a signpost directing the reader toward the Truth and the Life. That book serves best which early makes itself unnecessary, just as a signpost serves best after it is forgotten, after the traveler has arrived safely at his desired haven. The work of a good book is to incite the reader to moral action, to turn his eves toward God and urge him forward. Beyond that it cannot go.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7176</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What's nice about my dating life is that I don't have to leave my house.
