I took a few minutes to look at what else that website was presenting and how it was couched - the result was "WHAT!!" That whole thing is a liberal left wing propaganda source.

Titles like "Pathetic Mississippi Tea Party Candidate Defends Sons of Confederate Veterans, Says They’re Not Racist", and "This is Why Kathleen Sebelius’ Abrupt Resignation is a Brilliant Move by the Obama Administration", and "This Voter Turnout Graph Shows Another Reason Why the Rich Continue to Control the Country", lead me to know what I'll find there.

I want to say "WHAT?!" to this...but then you'd respond.

The comments on that blog were not especially insightful or challenging. They were on-target. And Rand would have agreed.

I grant that we have here in The Gulch at least one "Christian egoist" who has alloyed an interesting personal philosophy. That analogy does open up identification of the fact that if you know your gold coins, you know that a UK sovereign or classic US $5 half eagle will show toning spots because copper and gold are not a compound. Copper aurite or Gold cuprite does not exist. A gold alloy coin is like salad dressing: the constituents do not bind. So, too, here: conservatives who claim Christianity as their guide have admitted that freedom has no rational-empirical (objective) basis. They have two distinct beliefs, one of which shows corrosion...

That being as it may, look up Ayn Rand's letter to Reverend Dudley. I believe that it applies to Buddhism, also. It does not apply to Judaism or to the Greek (Hindu) pantheon. In the older religions, the goal of the mystery was to understand the will of the gods. It is true that Christianity does acknowledge "... Thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven..." However, that stands in contradiction to another mandate: to improve the individual to a better personal life. In the older religions, your happiness was not even a consideration.

But such philosophical niceties are not from, of, and for the Christian fundamentalists of the Republican Party. The sword has one-and-a-half edges. You can say that you accept them, even though... but they do not grant you the equal and opposite...
