Wow, you guys -- thanks. I have not yet read anything by Heinlein (though Ayn Rand inspired me at age 18 when I read her books, and she's remained tops with me) ... but I will be checking out Heinlein my next trip to the library. Even if he is an atheist!! (The older I get, the more I think atheism is naive ...). Heinlein does not recognize God's image in himself! Ayn Rand was another. Her philosophy seemed to me to be entirely in keeping with all in the new testament in an oddly fundamental way. Same with what I've read here of Heinlein.
Thanks again for this GREAT thread!

"(The older I get, the more I think atheism is naive ...). Heinlein does not recognize God's image in himself." When asked why he didn't have himself frozen for possible future ressurection in body, Heinlein replied "..it might interfere with re-birth." You obviously need to learn a LOT more about the man.
