I really enjoyed it until near the end, where there is a 62 or 63 page rant/speech, directed against (in a nutshell) religion...left a bad taste. Most of the book was so appropriate for today. Loved most of it.
ALL of them?
Hmmmm....I see your point. However, I don't have any problem at all with Rand's stance against religion. Further, I've begun to notice that those currently involved in organized religion (or just "religion" if you prefer) have taken to spinning their stance.
They now call it "faith". After all, organized religion has taken (and rightly so)a pretty bad beating of late; but "faith"???
Who in the world can safely attack "faith" (except of course for muslims who attack anyone not of their "faith"!)?
I had a close friend who became involved in organized religion; they taught this person to call it "faith". However, at each service they "pass the plate" at least three times during the service, and morally castigate those who do not "volunteer" for church duties.
Ah well.....I suppose there are all kinds of addictions, aren't there?
