They’ve really been trying to slander Ayn Rand lately.

[Ethan Clive Osgoode]

It comes as no surprise that the 1960s Church of Satan lifted most of its high-camp gospel from Ayn Rand.

And, in turn, Rand may have lifted some of her gospel from earlier satanists like Ragnar Redbeard and Aleister Crowley.

[HiTech RedNeck]

She wrote that well, huh.

[Steely Tom]

Someone arranged a social setting in which Ayn Rand met William F. Buckley. According to WFB, her first words to him were these: “You’re much too intelligent to believe in God.”

[Talisker]

...the 1960s Church of Satan lifted most of its high-camp gospel from Ayn Rand. One of its acolytes notes with approval that, “Rand’s philosophy rejects as ethical accepting the sacrifice of another to one’s self … The Satanic view sees as ethical the reality of domination of the weak by the strong.”

These two ethics positions have nothing in common - this entire article is brazen illogic. Rand witnessed the simple reality that no matter what selfless claims people cloak it in, they are always and only working for themselves and their own interests - so we might as well admit it and establish our laws around this plain truth. She was, in this way, trying to cut through the collectivist lies about "service," which is their main way of enslaving people.

The Church of Satan, to the absolute contrary, was openly advocating enslaving others.

What hubris the Left has over it's belief in it's mind-control tactics. Since they cannot dare critically analyzing Rand, they simply misrepresent her 180 degrees.

Contemptuous pigs.

Lemme guess, they couldn’t find any connection between the Tea Parties and Hitler, right? So they have to use the “next best thing,” i.e., the Church of Satan.

I have noticed a pattern to the criticism of Any Rand.

1: Well, you know, she was an atheist and she had a weird personal life so her ideas are all crap.

2: Misrepresentation of her ideas.

I have yet to ever hear her ideas refuted logically. Ever. I disagree with her about the existence of God. I believe a logical argument can be made for the existence of God.
As for the rest of her philosophy I think she is right.

All the arguments I have heard for religion amount to “I believe because I believe”. The element of faith takes religion outside of reason. That was her point.

I would love to see her other ideas refuted honestly but I haven’t yet.

[BfloGuy]

The Satanic view sees as ethical the reality of domination of the weak by the strong.

Well, that's got nothing to do with Rand's philosophy.

[circlecity]

Once can separate Rand’s political and economic theory from her philosopical musings. I completely accept the former and totally reject the latter.

[conservonator]

Atheistic materialism is the purest form of satanism.

[Texas Eagle]

Oh, noes. The telegraph.co.uk has found us out. We’re all a bunch of satanists.
