It is where people of different traditions, outlook and creeds mingle freely and exchange ideas that religious beliefs begin to be eroded. No one changes his beliefs without some instigation, some novel experience, some modification of the customary course of things, and in a closed society people believe what all their fellows obviously believe.

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://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6549</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Thomas More, Scholar & Martyr, & John Fisher, Bishop & Martyr, 1535 Continuing a short series on topics ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8498]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Thomas More, Scholar & Martyr, & John Fisher, Bishop & Martyr, 1535 Continuing a short series on topics of Christian apologetics:  He would be a brave man who claimed to realize the fallen condition of man more clearly than St Paul. In that very chapter [Romans 7] where he asserts most strongly our inability to keep the moral law he also asserts most confidently that we perceive the Law's goodness and rejoice in it according to the inward man. Our righteousness may be filthy and ragged; but Christianity gives us no ground for holding that our perceptions of right are in the same condition. They may, no doubt, be impaired; but there is a difference between imperfect sight and blindness. A theology which goes about to represent our practical reason as radically unsound is heading for disaster. If we once admit that what God means by "goodness" is sheerly different from what we judge to be good, there is no difference left between pure religion and devil worship.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8498</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every time a newspaper dies, even a bad one, the country moves a little closer to authoritarianism; when a great ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44483]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every time a newspaper dies, even a bad one, the country moves a little closer to authoritarianism; when a great one goes, like the New York Herald Tribune, history itself is denied a devoted witness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44483</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Most of life is choices, and the rest is pure dumb luck. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22022]]></link><description><![CDATA[Most of life is choices, and the rest is pure dumb luck.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22022</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That father perished at the stake For tenets he would not forsake. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48762]]></link><description><![CDATA[That father perished at the stake For tenets he would not forsake.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48762</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What makes the desert beautiful is that somewhere it hides a well. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/680]]></link><description><![CDATA[What makes the desert beautiful is that somewhere it hides a well.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/680</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He was a man Who stole the livery of the court of Heaven  To serve the devil in. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20229]]></link><description><![CDATA[He was a man Who stole the livery of the court of Heaven  To serve the devil in.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20229</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Clues are often very fleeting in nature.
