RE: Quotes from Rand

I can't get to the site since our firewall blocks it, but I can tell what it is from the URL.

Nice try, Strother. But wouldn't you rather have it from those who know her best? Try this one instead.

Yes, Ayn Rand was a committed atheist. If your intent was to reduce the weight of her words because of that, you forgot to include George Bernard Shaw as well. But the quotes weren't offered in the context of her religious beliefs. They were offered in the context of her views on socialism.

I don't feel the need to lock-step behind every mentor and philosopher who wanders down the path. I believe Rand was utterly wrong on her religious beliefs and I can offer rational arguments on why she believed what she did and what aspects of her arguments I feel to be in error. That being said, her views on collectivism and capitalism and their relationship with the human condition were brilliant and, to this day, unrefuted.
