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[Stillborn silence! thou that art Flood-gate of the deeper heart! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56288]]></link><description><![CDATA[Stillborn silence! thou that art Flood-gate of the deeper heart!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56288</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Katherine of Alexandria, Martyr, 4th century    Most people feel unworthy of forgiveness.

We have been trying to apply machine-age methods to our relations with God. We read our chapter, have our short devotions, and rush away, hoping to make up for our deep inward bankruptcy by attending another gospel meeting or listening to another thrilling story told by a religious adventurer lately returned from afar. The tragic results of this spirit are all about us. Shallow lives, hollow religious philosophies, the preponderance of the element of fun in gospel meetings, the glorification of men, trust in religious externalities, quasi-religious fellowships, salesmanship methods, the mistaking of dynamic personality for the power of the Spirit; these and such as these are the symptoms of an evil disease, a deep and serious malady of the soul.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6950</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some of us (perfectionists, especially) fuss so much over making the 'right' choice, but in life, all that's really needed ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46104]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some of us (perfectionists, especially) fuss so much over making the 'right' choice, but in life, all that's really needed is to make any' good' choice, believe in it, go through with it, and accept the consequences.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46104</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is nothing impossible to him who will try. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63300]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is nothing impossible to him who will try.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63300</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are, perhaps, uniquely among the earth's creatures, the worrying animal.
