I fully expected to get banned with my initial response. Good thing the crybabies aren't out.

I've been reporting almost all of your posts for at least 4 months. Apparently you are one of the chosen few.

Y'all do realize that Atlas Shrugged is fiction?

Isn't Atlas Shrugged some code book for the elitist??

Your report button is fake. They just wanted you to feel important...

How can you depend on "nothing"?

Nothing happens unless something happens. That's pretty dependable.

Nothing is not anything. I reject your theory that something always happens. Sure, it eventually happens.

 

[John Galt]

One of the basic tenets of Rand's theory of objectivism and, hence, her masterpiece Atlas Shrugged is the lack of belief in mysticism - or, in other words gods and religions (among other mystical things). If you are using reason (which Rand bases everything on) it would only make sense that Galt would not be a follower of any religious deity - in this case Jesus.

I think whatever works for someone (without infringing upon the rights of others) is what each individual should do. I don't know how obvious it is that I am a fan of Rand and Atlas Shrugged but that book (and specifically the character John Galt) changed how I look at almost everything in this world. I'm not trying to get into a religious debate. There is no reason for them anyway. People believe what they believe and stay hardened in that position for pretty much their entire lives with rare exceptions (myself being one of those rare exceptions). But there is no way in the world a character created by Ayn Rand would ever have his name in the same sentence as "I consider myself a Christian (or Muslim, or Jew, or Scientologist, etc..).

All this rhetoric about the Galt name and Christians is really quite funny. I chose the screen name because it gives a good moral lesson why big government does not work and how it eventually fails, kinda like a snake eating its own tale, to the point where great men and women decide to stop being a part of the problem and commit to reinventing their own society. Would Jesus approve? I think he would, as I recall he didnt like evil and nothing more evil than an entity (large overpowering brutal dictatorship and socialistic big government) that is by and large fascist.

Lets not put THAT much thought in why or why one would choose a screen name. Its kinda bordering on petty.
