I love Atlas Shrugged, but I find it too polarizing for some people, especially someone on the edge between liberalism and conservatism, or if they are a Christian. I recommend it to people who have already realized liberalism is a dangerous hoax.

LOL, I have probably read it or listened to it 5-10 times...I skip past the long monologue, I nearly know it by heart now (only kidding, I could never do that!)

But I agree with her premises in the work.

I am a Christian, so I do understand your point.

The thing I find most striking about AS is the premonition Ayn Rand seemed to have about the overly regulated and collectivist trends that accelerated during the Obama Administration.

The Global Warming Hoax, the Political Correctness Cult, The false narrative of Islam being “A Religion of Peace” and so forth are not the same as the Horrible Dystopia described in Atlas Shrugged, but they are just as potent in leading to the Destruction of Our Culture and Freedom.

As for the speeches, I agree with you. I think it would have been a more effective book without them. One can get “the point” just by reading the story!
