I totally agree. Her heavy reliance on misquoted passages to prove her bogus points about prejudice and “thoughtless faith” make it clear she is totally out of touch with reality.

“Her heavy reliance on misquoted passages ...”

Name one.

I’ve read everything Rand wrote, most several times, including her journals and letters. The only near Biblical “quote” I remember is the paraphrase, “love thy neighbor as thyself,” which she approved of.

She had long discussions about religion, by correspondence, with Isabel Patterson, some quite profound. Patterson believed in God, but I’m not sure she should be called a Christian.

Most people, especially Christians will not like Rand. Nothing wrong with that, but when they lie about her, they demonstrate which has moral principles they live by. Whatever you think about Rand, she never engaged in lies about anyone.

Actually, she was in touch with reality, and knew that religion is a conman’s business, soliciting money for what the G-ds give for free.
