Quote: from Santiago "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me." Phillipians 4:13 . Santiago, There are many Si members that post on this thread that have very strong religious convictions, and at times will note inside a post such. To me this is well and good and should send a signal to all that such differences between conflicting views have always resulted in a non win verbal exchange, while any conquest or surrender has as a landscape physical force used. Your recent posts these past days have a strength and vigor to help others that you have read their posts and beyond a doubt you know that they are lost and doomed unless they find the way as know by you as the only correct path one can live in this world and enter the here-after in good standing. For myself i have always respected religious opinions in others in a manner to allow what they believe to exist, and be seperate from person to person activity, this all the while knowing that certain people cannot seperate themselves as the person from their religion. Now if i did as you have done on this thread, then i would notify you that you have dammed yourself to a life of evil and tell you to convert to an Ayn Rand attitude so that you may be saved, yes, but more importantly, that you would stop any influence you now have to turn good people in bad people. (or) Keep your "push" of your religion on Si's religious topic threads and do your helping to those whom present themselves for a discussion. The Ayn Rand literature has a zillion words describing your approach on how to live a good life is just the opposite, just as your literature has a zillion words of the opposite conclusions. Difference being that Ayn Rand uses the science of philosophy while yours is mystic. Please note that i have always accepted the possibility that once one enters the after-life, that yes, i for example may meet a condition very similiar to the heaven & hell your religion speaks of. . Yes, but if so i enter heaven while you burn.

A wit once said something like this:- If you wanna have a good life in the here and now, you've to work and work hard for it. However, if you wanna have a good and blissful life in the hereafter, you don't have to do anything now except to believe ................... BTW, Doug is right in that there are lotsa' Ayn Rand worshippers here on GPM. Nothing wrong with that, I suppose, as to each, his/her own. According to the Bible, Jesus said, "Judge not, lest ye be judged." However, an AynRandist will typically say, "Judge, and dare/be prepared to be judged." But you know, in most instances, it's all bravado or mere show of a brave front. Many turned out to be hypocrites.<ggg>
