Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego *LITERALLY* got put to the fire for their beliefs and withstood it. It is literally a tale in your religion's handbook. ****... Job is another.
I don't give a shit about the "rising from the dead" part. PLENTY of people both real and historical along with the fictional characters in your book have actually lived up to their own belief system. Rand is not one of them.

Did you know that Nietzsche lost his sanity and died in the care of his sister as a mental invalid? The greatest human thinker I've ever encountered in print, tbh. His mind broke when he saw someone beating a horse, so he ran up and wrapped his arms around that horse to save it, said something like "you leave this horse alone", fell down weeping, and he never recovered mentally. That's Friedrich Nietzsche, possibly the smartest philosopher (and philologist) ever to live. He died drooling at the mouth.
They say that he died of syphilis. If you learn any Nietzsche at university, they will tell you he died of undiagnosed syphilis. They say that his last ever works, when he became a Christian, were just nonsense that his devout sister wrote under his name. That's what they say.

What the **** does any of this have to do with Rand's entire belief system being an utter failure and her abandoning those beliefs at the end? Plus her institute taking the PPP "loans"?
