re: #88 Targetpractice, Worst of Both Worlds

I’ve always found it ironic that those who claim to be such “good Christians” can, with a straight face, claim to be followers of Ayn Rand, a woman who is on record more than once saying religion is a scam.

Yeah it’s not just the great contrast between Rand’s views on the poor and the Bible’s but the fact that Rand detested religion. When i took philosophy in high school, the people who argued for Rand’s viewpoint the most were the same people who described themselves as religious and were conservative on bio-ethical questions. It just seemed like a huge disconnect to me and still does.
