I don't 'blindly' follow anything, and won't dignify your indirect claim that Christianity is itself a cult. And I certainly can't be faulted for thinking you're an Ayn Rand acolyte, given your staunch (if inept) defense of her work and ideas throughout this thread, although it is good to be reminded that you're largely unfamiliar with those ideas. Lastly (and finally), I don't have the time or patience to walk you through the rudiments of reasoned argument. I do suggest, however, that you know at least something of a given position before you defend or attack it. I had to slog through the entire, turgid length of 'Atlas Shrugged', as well as 'The Fountainhead' and numerous nonfiction essays and lectures in order to grasp the essentials of her thought and philosophy. While I don't wish that particular fate on anyone of intelligence and discernment, it is required reading if one wants to engage in knowledgeable discourse or debate on the subject.

Do you realize how self-righteous your posting is? On top of that I have yet to see you actually address anything specific, you just keep harping on general writing style and your personal opinion of her as a person.

BTW, I wasn't inferring that Christianity is a cult, I was using your own words on you. Your response makes it perfectly clear that you can dish it out, but don't like eating what you served. More hypocricy.......

Goodbye and good day.
