It is interesting to me how hard core Objectivists interact with me on this site (the only one that I participate in as the truly hard core Objectivist sites are so militant as to be irrational).

On the one hand, as one who has a foundation of Catholic faith, I am told that I must accept anything that comes out of Rome as an absolute - that I cannot use my own rationality to decide for myself "truth", and that religion isn't a menu that one can choose from.

And on the other hand, when I point out inconsistencies with Objectivism, I'm told that "AR said it, so it's truth" and those people refuse to use their own rational mind to evaluate things for themselves.

This seems to be a stark inconsistency and irrationality to me.
