Christians love the prosperity gospel more than Jesus.

I haven't read the steaming pile of shit nor would I ever buy it, but it seems Bill O'Reili wrote a whole book about a Randian Jesus.

Being atheist doesn't guarantee you have good ideas. Or sanity.

But the sanity part is even more in question when christers start to sing the Rand gospel. Not that there's much in the sanity department to begin with.

Well, I am an atheist and I am telling you not to respect everything that she says. If you have to follow someone, it might as well be me.

I promise not to feed the trolls anymore

*BURP!*

But here we have our hitler and we don't support her. We denounce like Christians do and say she's not a "true atheist"

Clearly you never read 50 Shades of Grey. They come close to each other, but E.L. James couldn't even begin to have as complex of a thought as Ayn Rand, if that tells you anything.

Thanks for the warning.

Cognitive dissonance is a splendid, magnificent, awe-inspiring thing.

For the record, I think it's a Myth that many Conservative Christian Republicans hold Ayn Rand in high regard. Paul Ryan was known to say positive things about Ayn Rand but was pretty much forced by the rest of the party to disavow her influence on him, largely because the media published a million articles as soon as he was the nominee linking him to the nasty Atheist word. Most of the real hard-core Objectivists are Atheists. I view them a little the same was I view Marxists, they are Atheists because their Dogma almost mandates them to be, mostly not because they have actually thought it out on their own.
