Did Stalin plagiarize this? "And Moses said to them: "Have you kept all the women alive? Look, these women caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to trespass against the LORD in the incident of Peor, and there was a plague among the congregation of the LORD. Now therefore, kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman who has known a man intimately. But keep alive for yourselves all the young girls who have not known a man intimately."

"Ayn Rand has values? Did she plagiarize those from the Bible, too?" In addition to what? She detested superstition. And she repudiated all of the racism, exclusivity, violence, cruelty, absurdity, and irrationality in the bible--and in ALL bibles. She believed in capitalism, individualism, and rationalism. The bible extolls none of these things. So why would you suggest plagiarism? She NEVER references "the Lord" as a source of values. Her values were derived from her philosophy which is known as "objectivism". HELLO??
