That's because you have no sense of humanity. You see the poor and the

your values. They obviously are not what are called Christian values,
are they? In your book, wealth and privilege mean more than caring for

such a ****ty place. Things mean a lot more to you than people.

Read "Atlas Shrugged" fool.


This is actually consistent with Hawke's point. Ayn Rand was as
anti-Christian as it gets. She despised Christianity and Christian
values of generosity and altruism.

That didn't come across in the book.
I just finished it (second reading) last week.


It didn't come across in the book because it's not there. I don't doubt
that Rand was anti-religion, perhaps even militantly so, but it's not to
be found in 'Atlas Shrugged'.
