Shit like this is so *funny*!
Someone else pointed this out, I think, but I'll reiterate: if you're
going to go around spouting Ayn Rand as bible and holding up 'objective
knowledge' and 'reason' as absolutes, then you can't disregard moral
absolutism in the form of Christianity simply because you can't see its
'objective' basis. For some people, there needn't *be* one; or rather, for
some people, 'objectivity' has nothing to do with the life-changing
experience their faith offers.
As for 'prejudice' -- belief in God isn't prejudice. Don't make elementary
rhetorical and logical errors on a list of which Karen Robinson isn't a
member -- remember, she's watching you like a hawk and she's 'violently
eloquent' or something like that.
