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://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6697</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A great city is not to be confounded with a populous one. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63543]]></link><description><![CDATA[A great city is not to be confounded with a populous one.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63543</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Odds life! must one swear to the truth of a song? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43510]]></link><description><![CDATA[Odds life! must one swear to the truth of a song?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43510</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In my Father's house are many mansion: if it were not so, I would have told you.
