i have heard that before that the mark of the beast is worshiping on Sundays .so all the Christians that worship on Sundays will go to hell and be Satan's slaves .
It seems a little bit harsh as most people don't know when the true sabbath is including me


the real sabbath is friday as far as I know.
also; the mark is up for interpretation as well. i'm going to reserve my opinion for now. i don't like that specific attention

People hate Ayn Rand because the Republicans made her a God to put on a pedestal. People like Glenn Beck, Ron Paul, Rand Paul, Paul Ryan, Koch Brothers the list goes on. They made her a target. They tried to make her the god of a new religion. Like L Ron Hubbard and Scientology. Ayn Rand was going to be the god of Objectionism. Just say no to everything.

You have no idea what her books are about if you think they are elitist. How is it that a former philosopher works at a hamburger stand if he is an elitist? (from Atlas Shrugged, Hugh Atkins character)

Saying she takes welfare is like trying to fault ron paul for taking social security, that HE PAID INTO! I don't know much about Rand's personal life but welfare is forced on us, so taking it is not hypocritical, especially when it is our money. And remember she was also a tax payer, unlike mitt and obama's staff, so how she is the hypocrite, (she's dead btw) and the living tax moochers are not hypocrites is something I will never understand.

Except most people, like Ron Paul and Paul Ryan, have both stated they do not believe in objectionism. Yet you can still appreciate her works of fiction without believing in her philosophy. So she is a fictional writer first, philosopher a distant second. In fact almost no one believes in her objectionism.

Atlas Shrugged is a good story, entertaining, provocative

It was also highly prophetic for predicting the trend of socialism in the 1950's.
It features a strong lead female character, which contrasts with her other work the fountainhead, something liberals SHOULD appreciate. She is also Jewish, so how do liberals have so much hatred for a jewish female writer whose characters embody uber feminism? Maybe that is just it, she teaches women to be a bit too independent.

You need to read the links. She despised SS, medicare etc. and took it just the same. That's not personal responsibility no matter how you slice it. That's blatant and obvious hypocrisy.

Read the link this time.

I don't agree with everything ayn rand the person said or did, in fact she defended Israel over Palestine. Still, her fictional works are great regardless.

As I previously stated, she was a tax payer, so how is it that taking welfare is being hypocritical? See it doesn't make sense, if welfare is bad, then don't defend it. But if you like welfare, why is it bad to get welfare especially if it is your money you are getting back!

How is using social programs she openly hated being independent. She should have put her philosophy where her mouth was and shunned what she so vociferously despised whether she paid into the programs or not.

Here's more evidence of her hypocrisy...

She and Rush had a lot in common...both junkies!!

How is getting your own money back that the state stole from you being a hypocrite? I asked this multiple times.

How in the holy hell can you not see that when she criticized others for doing what she was doing. That's not hypocrisy to you?

It's the same as Rush popping pills and being addicted all the while criticizing pot smokers.
