Ayn Rand Quotes On Religion:
Religious people have a psychological weakness, they cannot accept reality.
Faith is the worse curse of mankind, as the exact antithesis and enemy of thought.
[T]he only real moral crime that one man can commit against another is the attempt to create, by his words or actions, an impression of the contradictory, the impossible, the irrational, and thus shake the concept of rationality in his victim.
Definitions are the guardians of rationality, the first line of defense against the chaos of mental disintegration.
To fear to face an issue is to believe the worst is true.
Thinking men cannot be ruled.
To rest one's case on faith means to concede that reason is on the side of one's enemies- that one has no rational arguments to offer.
...if devotion to truth is the hallmark of morality, then there is no greater, nobler, more heroic form of devotion than the act of a man who assumes the responsibility of thinking.... the alleged short-cut to knowledge, which is faith, is only a short-circuit destroying the mind. [Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged]
Strange.... I guess you righties didn't actually read Atlas Shrugged
