Can you not find real world examples akin to her fictional events and see that her conclusions bear like fruit in reality? In other words "I read the bible and thought of examples in my own life that showed what it said is true. I can identify with <insert character here> so there must be a god!" is not a logical proof of the existence of god. In fact, it is the very definition of using emotion ("it feels right", gets confused with "it must be a fact") instead of reason. This is, as far as I can see, Ms. Rand's sole method of expositation. As I said before, it would be trivial to prove me wrong if I am wrong: provide a contrary example. Your assertion that my logic is not the strongest, a point I had sort of conceded yet you restated in a stronger form, makes it clear that your basis for discussion here is personal attack. I'm sorry, but there is no logical advantage in personal attack. Please use logic to support your position that you are using reason to see rand's points.... all you have provides is emotion so far.
