I love liberty and those who defend it.

As a Christian I recognized immediately, Ayn Rand beliefs are opposed to Jesus teachings.

Where did Jesus say something like “use confiscatory taxes and fees to take from those who labor & create and give it to those who will not” or anything along those lines?

Rand’s teachings have room for one to be a Christian. But they do not have room for a Christian to use force to advance their beliefs. She never demanded that in her perfect society, belief must be made illegal.

Her personal life was a trainwreck, this is where Christianity can be brought to bear. But the barest essential of hers was that individual freedom was the ultimate goal.
