I tried mescaline once, too.

I never have, but, from the descriptions I've read, I get the same effect from listening to the testimony or Christian mystics. My little satire is based entirely on words and expressions that have been used to prove to me their mystical experiences ought to convince me to throw away all evidence and reason and accept their testimony as the final abriter of truth.

Christianity is based in real space-time history. Jesus Christ was a real person who was really crucified. It's an indisputable historical fact. Ayn Randism, on the other hand, is the invention of a "anti-Communist idealistic mystic" whose philosophical ideas were adopted lock, stock and barrel by sycophants like you. Ayn Rand's is a philosophy of the self which denies the teachings of Jesus Christ - especially the teaching that commands one to put others above himself (unselfishness). Who is right? AR or Jesus Christ? That's an easy one!

I have shown thru logic on this thread that you are the one who "throws away evidence and reason" in your non-rational leap in believing that moral absolutes and unalienable rights can just exist in space with no known source. Name the source.

Who's evidence and who's reason?

There, now I feel like I've bothered you enough in the last few days. '-o
