Not sure how to digest that. I guess we'll wait for MK's response to Atlas.
I have a special place in my heart for Atlas
I grew up in a fanatical Christian environment. To question my bubbles’s teachings took a lot of courage and risk. I don’t think I’ll ever explain it well enough to serve it justice. To us, some of this guy’s ideas might be strange, and sometimes insulting, but in my point of view, he’s a guy who isn’t afraid to think for himself in a world where that can cause him turmoil. Of course, his environment isn’t similar to ours, so one shouldn’t expect his thinking to be exactly how we’d like it. At least he’s not afraid of making turns when all the road in front of him provides is straight lines. I don’t know what I’d believe if I had grown up surrounded by those teachings. I disagree on stuff he says a lot, but I have a soft spot for him.
I know I’m not a fan of religion and religious people, but when a person shows a bit of rebellion in them, when they show that they’re not afraid of letting a strange idea sit for a minute in their head to actually look at it, I respect that and I might make an exception. It’s when people are square that I’m unimpressed and sometimes even annoyed.
