RE: The Rich and Proud Vs. Christianity

Of course this paranoid rant isn't surprising coming from Rand.

Context is everything. Maybe you should try understanding it before adjectivizing it.

She was a capitalism-worshipping athiest.

Nice. Do empty generalizations like that make you feel comfortable?

But I naturally assume that since Steve posted this that he agrees with her overall pompous sentiment here... or maybe not.

I agree completely with the sentiment, but the pompous part is your own adjective. However, if you were to offer something besides bluster to qualify the adjective, readers of the BP might find that instructive.

Maybe he just knows that those who respect what Jesus said about this sort of pride find it funny and extremely contridictory coming from folks who enjoy leaning on Christian doctrine to support many of their beliefs.

So enlighten us, oh wise and wonderful one. What did Jesus say (exactly please, paraphrasing is a waste of time) about "this sort of pride?"

What's next, a quote from someone singing the praises of the death penalty, followed by an anti-abortion tirade?

Are we having a bad day? Did someone pee in our Cheerios?

As an aside, I have to note that I find the quantity of ire Ayn Rand arouses in liberals and Marxists extremely instructive.
