This seems to interest a lot of people, which surprises me a little. Nevertheless, I am going to ping my philosopy list, as others may be interested. PHILOSOPHY PING

Seems like their interest is bred of well deserved resentment - the article is a thousand word sneer. It's the kind of thing I expect from JF Kerry.

Most "Believers" (in whatever religion), simply don't understand, or think about, their religion very deeply.

On the other hand, Hank, this gentlemen seems not to have considered the possibility that some of us do think about our religion "very deeply"; in fact have meditated it profoundly over very long time periods. And thus we may recognize that an Objectivist also has a "religion," just as "subjective" as our own deeply-experienced religious faith. And that Objectivism just ain't as good as the Judeo-Christian myth in terms of explicating the "real world" and humanity's position within it. FWIW.
