@foozybearz: You still are making choices...

[richardallangarcia]

@foozybearz: "...and if I choose not to decide, I'll still have made a choice." May God bless you and speak into your life. May your freewill be the catalyst to an honest search. May you be protected from the false prophets of this world, and may you be given a hint/hope/glimmer of the next!" The Humble King, who is the embodiment of Wisdom itself, has risen.

We are all faithful to something. Ayn Rand was faithful to logic as she understood it, reasonable thinking as she percieved it, facts as she could scientifically prove them. Her "faith" rested in the "tangible", "measureable" world. But rest assured it was still "faith". Because in the end, we are back at the beginning, and there is still a choice to be made about freewill. The Believers and the Naysayers, engaged in the business of choice...

Isn't that the most basic, foundational choice of our own individual lives. We all must decide what to do with this "freewill". Geddy Lee of Rush says in his song freewill: "...and if I choose not to decide, then I'll stil have made a choice!" If everything else is equal, what does the choice between "self" or "sacrifice" really say about the chooser? What do your choices say about you? If everything else is truly equal, what does your next thought, step, action, desire paint about you?

She called faith "illogical" and "unprovable". She often said that she should, "not be required to prove a negative," referring to her "lack" of faith. She agreed that God could neither be proven or disproven. In the end, I was astounded by her own "faith". She really believed that she was right. She was definitely not "lukewarm" about her beliefs. It seems that the arguement about faith and God always brings us back to the same starting point, and is evidence in itself of our own freewill.

I was reviewing some of Ayn Rand's interviews to get some perspective on her worldview. She was a devout libertarian and athiest. What was interesting was that she embraced characterics of both the political left and right. For example, her fervent belief in unbridled capitalism could be embraced by some on the far right, while her anti-religious views could swing her to some circles on the left. What was striking, however, was her aversion to "faith".

Luckily this is just a myth.

Never ever really happened.

An obvious emotional response from a human is to feel guilty. Why do you think it has worked for so long?...
