[G. Stolyarov II]

"This is the arrogant conceit of the Objectivists. This is THEIR belief. It's not true."

Not true, why, Mr. Sauropod? An Objectivist will always provide his reasoning in discourse. Can you likewise furnish yours?

[sauropod]

Absolutely.

It's not up to me to disprove an obvious lie.

An Objectivist will always provide his reasoning in discourse

Your statement is demonstably false. In the posted article, the author arrogantly states that most Believers do not understand, or even think about their religion. Does he provide his reasoning? Facts? Statistics? Anything? No. He just states his opinion in an obnoxious manner. Try this one:

Most Objectivists do not understand the philosophy of Ayn Rand. Does this statement bother you?

Gospodin Stolyarov:

Sauropod is correct. There are many of us who have both the intellectual apparatus and training at the graduate level to think, and do in fact think very deeply about our religion. It is arrogant to dismiss our community of faith as shallow thinkers. The posted article is both incorrect and poorly written.

I can speak as a 61-year old former atheist who has come, by the grace of Messiah, Y'shua, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, into a relationship with the Lord. Relationship of love and grace - not merely a 'religion.' Further, please feel free to Freep mail me privately and I will respond thoughtfully.
