I guess I could be considered a religious nut because I do take the bible literally. But I also agree with Rand on many issues.But those who agree with her rabidly tend to make her out to be a god of sorts. She was simply a human being with ideas and with faults. She couldn't give you a line between right and wrong because she didn't draw one herself and yet she claimed the line was drawn between rational and irrational actions.
There are times that we can act believing at the moment that our actions are perfectly rational. It is when we look back that we see that they were quite irrational. We can also see in hindsight those who were hurt by those actions. There are flaws in objectivism just as there are flaws in all philosophies. Moral relativism being the greatest.

Not a religous nut...I guess I should have phrased that diffrent. I didn't want to step on the way others believe, didn't mean any offense.
