It sounds like you have faith in everything Ayn Rand said, doesn't it? I like Ayn Rand, and at one time I too had faith in everything she said. Now, I still like her, but the wisdom that comes with age brought me to a place where my faith belongs and should have been all along. And best of all, I don't feel any conflict with Ayn Rand or my belief. Perhaps I'm just a fool. But it's all good.
The problems with a lot of atheist is their preoccupation with God. I know, I used to be one, perhaps at least an agnostic. I believe there are very, very few atheist that actually die as such, even after their last breath. I also believe I've become a much better person for it.
I thought he brought the drowning kid back to life. His mother wasn't praying a thank you prayer at the time either. Are you trying to lose me on purpose?
I didn't bring up prayer! Lol the article of this post brought up prayer. That's what this whole post is about, Robbie. Christ, try to keep up already. Pray away if it makes you feel better, but MY eyes ARE open and my heart is fine. And still, my questions go unanswered... sigh.
You suddenly bring up prayer? I've answered that on a different comment. You are the one inferring or implying things that do not logically follow.
This is not productive, so I'm stopping now.
Since you've brought up prayer, I'll pray for the hardness of your heart to be lessened and your eyes to be opened. God will not answer my prayer about you on such things, only yours. But that doesn't mean that I won't do it in any case, for me.
How am I ignorant? I've LIVED the religious life. Is it my questions you don't like? "Ignorant" name number 4 you've called me now. Gee whiz. And You haven't read enough rand to even understand the foundation, so again, you're making assumptions.
If it's done merely asking for things, then it's the same as being a moocher. And even God doesn't tolerate moochers.
If it is in thanksgiving for the life that one has, for wisdom to choose well, for strength to bear one's burdens, for patience to deal with one's trials and tribulations, for courage to do the morally right instead of the easy or expedient, then God answers those prayers.
You are the one stating your ignorance of the most published life in history. I merely point out that that ignorance is easily remedied. Let me make this perfectly clear, I am not trying to convert you to anything. But when you make statements like two comments above, you really make yourself look foolish.
As for me reading more AR, I have seen no arguments that state that there is anything for me to learn there. Her foundation is flawed. I have stated such numerous times. Studying a flawed foundation isn't going to make it right, no matter how hard one studies it.
