Carolina Guitarman: You posted all the Randiana on your home page. It makes you and her fair gameFascinating as I'm sure it is, the thread was about Dawkins and his atheism, not CGM's home page.

The thread had actually turned to Hitler and whether he was an atheist. Then, out of the blue, Black Elk went on a rant about Ayn Rand because three out of the seven quotes on my homepage were from her (They were mostly about property rights; very radical stuff lol). He assumed I am a dyed-in-the-wool Objectivist. Instead of arguing the issue at hand, he started to argue Ayn Rand. That's why I stopped posting to him; if he can't have an honest debate, let him talk to himself. My tolerance for Trolls may be high, but it isn't that high.

Regardless of the original subject (asinine in itself in the form of Dawkins and his beloved Darwin), it is quite traditional in cross-examination (of Carolinaguitarman's Randian erroneous thunderbolts from on high or wherever that we are to acceopt because he says so) to find underlying reasons for the lack of credibility of one's opponents.
The very Catholic Gilbert K. Chesterton observed something to the effect that many believe that a person who rejects the Truth will believe nothing when, in actuality, such a person will believe anything.
The persistence of Rand's little cult in spite of the evidence of her life simply demonstrates Chesterton's wisdom.
Like communism, Randianism does not work without atheism. If you don't believe that, reconsult Rand's written record. Thus the Randian has an agenda in advocating atheistic rationales. Now dead, La Rand has learned the Truth to her great and eternal, ummmm, discomfort.
