Your quotation of Ayn Rand says it all.

You can believe what you want. Her message is one that will lead to ruin and death.

>>the Christian Coalition would have already taken over the US government
and imposed their Thirteen Century ideas, and we are still not out of danger, as we
speak an enormous battle is being fought for such control<<

Gimmee a break!!! Simply paranoia fed by the media. You are grossly misled. Free yourself. Think for yourself, instead of regurgitating the fear-mongering with which you are bombarded every day.

Where is your tolerance? Do I not have the right to participate in the political process all of a sudden because I believe in Jesus Christ? Am I somehow sinister because I believe in a different mode of conduct?

Your ideas are intellectually bankrupt. You are guilty of desiring what you fear others are going (going, not have) perpetrate on you.

I support your right to believe all of this stuff you have spoken, but will continue to resist the establishment of such principles as you espouse in any participation that I have in government as it my right.

I wish you well, but will leave it at that.

You are one with this group who defines rational as simply people who ascribe to a certain way of thinking (Rand and her ilk). If it makes you feel good to think that everyone else is irrational -- so be it. It's a comfortable ignorance, but it is an ignorance nonetheless.
