Ayn Rand doesn't believe in God or religion. Without religious moral guidance, the "pursuit of happiness" is pretty wide open, wouldn't you say?

I'd you've pretty well confirmed the truth of 'Ga Rob's earlier point, where he said:
"I may be jumping in the deep end here but here goes anyway...
....It seems to me that the conservatives who despise Rand are the Morality police, religous nuts..."live your life my way or your going to hell"(whatever that might be) folks that will continue to turn more tolerant people off from our cause."

"It seems to me that the conservatives who despise Rand are the Morality police, religous nuts..."live your life my way or your going to hell"(whatever that might be) folks that will continue to turn more tolerant people off from our cause."I don't despise Ayn Rand (I've purchased and read all of her books, with Atlas Shrugged being my favorite)-- I just disagree with her philosophy.
And why, when only mentioning religion in general, you lump me in with "religious nuts" is beyond me.
So, in your eyes, someone who disagrees with Ayn Rand's philosophy despises Ayn Rand. And a person who mentions religion is a religious nut.
Am I supposed to take you seriesly?
