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[Love and marriage, love and marriage go together like a horse and carriage.

In my childhood we were always assured that the brain was a telephone switchboard. ('What else could it be?') I was amused to see that Sherrington, the great British neuroscientist, thought that the brain worked like a telegraph system. Freud often compared the brain to hydraulic and electro-magnetic systems. Leibniz compared it to a mill, and I am told some of the ancient Greeks thought the brain functions like a catapult. At present, obviously, the metaphor is the digital computer.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52106</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But what minutes!

And again, in any prosperity of ourselves or others, we must not omit to testify our recognition of God's hand by praise and thanksgiving. Lastly, we must in all our prayers carefully avoid wishing to confine God to certain circumstances, or prescribe to him the time, place, or mode of action. In like manner, we are taught by [the Lord's] prayer not to fix any law or impose any condition upon him, but leave it entirely to him to adopt whatever course of procedure seems to him best, in respect of method, time, and place. For, before we offer up any petition for ourselves, we ask that his will may be done, and by so doing place our will in subordination to his, just as if we had laid a curb upon it, that, instead of presuming to give law to God, it may regard him as the ruler and disposer of all its wishes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7494</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA["Darkly, deeply, beautifully blue," As some one somewhere sings about the sky. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56509]]></link><description><![CDATA["Darkly, deeply, beautifully blue," As some one somewhere sings about the sky.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56509</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Know most of the rooms of thy native country before thou goest over the threshold thereof. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59617]]></link><description><![CDATA[Know most of the rooms of thy native country before thou goest over the threshold thereof.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59617</guid></item></channel></rss>
