"I am a hard core athiest existentialist. And as such, I can decide I want to live in a society that recognizes basic human decency. Nothing religous about it. Just my personal belief system. Nothing more."

You misunderstand me. I was well aware of your atheism. (did I tell you my IQ was 158??). Well...now you know.

When I said your philosophy was "religious", it did not mean or imply that YOU were religious.

"I am a hard core athiest existentialist. And as such, I can decide I want to live in a society that recognizes basic human decency. Nothing religous about it. Just my personal belief system. Nothing more."

And I have told you that that is a religious ideal in a proposal that has previously espoused subjectivism and denied objectivism. If you believed in an objective value of "human decency" you could have said it from the git-go.

We could have discussed the OBJECTIVE premises that bind rational people and send people to the moon and all that.

But maybe if enough people vote somebody WILL build that NASA space craft... Maybe somebody with a lot of kids on WELFARE! :-)

Maybe the WELFARES will design the engine that will save the human race as they face their last attempt at survival (when our sun dies (which WILL come).

Rand's philosophy might survive. Will the Welfare State?? What?? You just have a barbeque and sing Pete Seeger tunes...and then die because...;???
