I could’ve sworn she was also interviewed by Dick Cavett but die hard AR fans says it never happened. Any clues?

I don’t remember a Dick Cavett interview but I think she was also interviewed by Mike Douglas & Merv Griffin.

I saw her interviews on Donahue and Snyder when they originally aired.

She was ignorant of, or dishonest about, Christianity. She said something life, "You take your ideal man, and torture and kill him. I think that's monstrous."

She just didn't get it. Didn't understand the whole point of Christ's sacrifice. She talked as if Christians advocated torturing all ideal men, as if it were even possible for any man to equate with Christ.

I'm also certain that, like many atheists, she never studied Christian theology, yet felt perfectly competent to comment on it. Not very "rational."

Mike Douglas interview was epic. Dick Cavett was a Manhattan libtard before the term was invented.

This interview was in 1979. Ayn said at one point, "The most dangerous thing in this country today are the universities, because they are teaching the kind of ideas that necessarily would have to lead to the destruction of this country ."

The most dangerous thing in this country today are the universities

She’s a Russian Jew! Ayn Rand is her pen name. Her actual name is Anna Rosenbaum. So why would she know much about Christianity? As a Russian Jew her and her family’s experience with Christianity (Russian Orthodox variety) is not likely to be positive.

I’m curious, I wonder what Ayn Rand thought about the 19th amendment.

Anybody know?

I have never heard of her making a statement about the 19th Amendment. I am sure she would think women had a right to vote. It’s how they vote she would have an issue with - voting for collectivism. (She would have the same issue with men doing that!) She would say that’s a cultural problem not a voters right’s problem.

“She would say that’s a cultural problem not a voters right’s problem.”

And where does culture come from?
