MeDroogies: Just out of curiosity, how do you respond to this (from an Objectivist web site)?---- It follows from the Objectivist metaphysics that God, as understood by Western monotheistic religions, does not exist. Atheism is the only rationally defensible attitude toward the question of God's existence. Rand used to say that she was an "intransigent" atheist but "not a militant one." Some people think that if there is no God, then life has no meaning or that there is no reason for a person to be moral. Rand dealt crushing blows to both objections. The best way to see how morality without God could be possible is to enter the world of Ayn Rand's fictional characters, especially Anthem, We the Living, The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged.
