Rand (and many FR libertarians) reject God. As such, their moral reasoning cannot be supported by anything other than "because I said so."

As a libertarian, I don't reject God, I reject corrupt organized religion.

Which is fine, though you'd appear to be in the minority. I'd be interested to know whether you're calling all organized religion corrupt, or just some variants.

You need to be much more careful with these all-encompassing statements, JediGirl. Had there been no organized Christianity, Western Civilization would be just another part of the Third World, and you thus owe a debt of great gratitude to that particular religion. There are great truths kept alive, made physical, by Christianity and you thus also owe it, or something like it, due reverence. Now I am no "Bible thumper" and am not in fact a member of any organized religion. I am, however, a Mason. Above all, I love truth.
