Wow. So Rand is wrong because..... Chambers and Buckley didn’t like her book?

Chambers' review of Atlas Shrugged is withering. He lays out in detail what's wrong with the book.

But anyone care to refute here excerpt re Christianity contained right there? And I mean factually, rationally refute. Without the use of “feelings” or “faith”.

No problem. See my #39. Just to give you a taste, you demand "without the use of 'feelings,'" and yet a "feeling" (happiness) is what Rand calls a "highest moral good."

Her philosophy is fundamentally irrational.

“..but then, that’s what insane people do, too: they draw painstakingly logical conclusions from initial conditions that have no contact with the real world.”

Hey, you just described religion perfectly. Thanks!
