I need not now attempt to make precise these heresies, as they came to be called. It is necessary only to point out that in various ways all these heresies were simplifications. By means of them, the revelation of God to men was made -- or appeared to be made -- less scandalous. On the other hand, the various clauses of the Creed were not formulated as a new simplification, or as an alternative-ism. They were nothing more than emphatic statements of the Biblical scandal, statements which brought into sharp antagonism the new simplification and the old, Scriptural, many-sided, and vigorous truth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6958</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You've got mass merchants who are expanding their toy space and using it to drive total store volume.

To have ideas, apercus, is not enough, and it is the overevalutation of such clever but uncontrolled guesses which is apt to produce the ludicrous fallacy of combination, in which fragments of the final theory are collected from widely scattered sources and are combined in such a way as to impugn the originality of him who was the first to see how such a synthesis was possible.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56960</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I always thought there was gonna be one more solution, one more last minute investor, just one more little nibble. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29329]]></link><description><![CDATA[I always thought there was gonna be one more solution, one more last minute investor, just one more little nibble.

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://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6697</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That's one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17398]]></link><description><![CDATA[That's one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17398</guid></item></channel></rss>
