Why would I expect Rand to come back and stop it when she herself couldn't live up to her belief system such as those 3 brave Hebrews, Job, Abraham (going to kill his son), Jacob (being sold by his brothers into slavery then being thrown into prison for not ****ing), and even ****ing Rahab (Jericho) did in the face of their own mortality.
You come from interesting angles, Janx. The one book of the bible I think really was bastardized by humans was actually Job. Apparently the poetic parts date back really far, I mean real far. Further than the Illyiad. But the beginning, the part about God and Satan having a friendly wager, that part was added later. It is the one book of the Bible I think is sus.

You say you read it all Janx, and you have your references. But 1 chapter of the Fountainhead puts you on tilt. Why might that be? Afraid it'll resonate?
