There are obvious political implications to all of this, and one would think that if Ralph Reed is dedicating an entire conference to covering up divides between the Tea Party and Christian Right, Democrats and Progressives might want to look at why that is.Thanks for the post..I really appreciate this..gum disease

Glenn Beck is weak. He belongs with the other weaklings on Jesus’ side.

I love what you’re doing and have used your video clip on Ayn Rand to underscore the philosophical conflict that I’ve been observing among many American Christians for almost thirty years now. Here’s a link to the blog piece that I wrote this morning, which contains the clip: http://debutopia.blogspot.com/2011/10/ayn-rand-occupies-chicago.html

How I got to this Blog is sheer and unadulterated happenstance! I am a Trued Believer in Christian Fundamentalism even though I believe in GOD, GODDESS, and Their Sons and Daughters who are Gods and Goddesses in their own Dimension of Space and also I believe in Manliness and Womanhood. Thusly said, I shall attempt a Visceral Explanation as to Why I believe the Way I Do.

My Passing Days of rooting here and digging over there for bits and pieces of information did enthrall My Heartfelt Soul! I don’t remember exactly when but it may have been 10 or 15 years ago that I ran across a website by a Robert Oldershaw regarding “Fractal Cosmology” which is a newly formed Science regarding Universes within Universes ad Infinitum. I, for the intentions which will become clearer, will only tell you about Two Dimensions of Fractal Cosmologic Relativity.

1. Our Celestial Universe and 2. All Life Form’s Cellular Based Universes we simply call cells.

If GOD does have a Real Body, then assuredly this Universe we find ourselves being a part of is it! And as to His Sons and daughters, the Gods and Goddesses, they are all alive living deeply within all Life Form’s Cellular sized Universes. If this is a Truism then what does it mean for Manliness and Womanhood as we are but Vessels of Containment for the welfare of the Gods and Goddesses?

Where will we when we die or cease to function within the Framed Workings of the Celestial; pour out one’s soul to? As Beings of Humane Omnivores eating away all manner of Otherly Life, will we be judged for this Consuming Altruism or will we cease to exist and nevermore Be?

I do not believe GOD or the Gods that infill us are imbecilic enough to just cast our souls into a furnace without Judgment befalling us! I do Wholeheartedly Believe that when we die, we are cast inwardly into the Cavernous depths of Inner Space wherein we do reach the throngs of The Gods and Goddesses who reside therein the Celled Universes and there be adjudicated in our worthiness and rewarded due our endowed and befitting capabilities before we died and came down from the Celestial imbruing of generations Lost in the Infirmities of Mentally Being Grown.

For is it not written that a Day is as a thousand years and a thousand years is but a Day?

To GOD, the Universe only a day or two has past but we have lived thousands or even millions of years upon this Celestial embankment and thousands perhaps millions or even billions of years have passed within the Framed Works of Our Life Form’s Cellular Universes.

“Yes, I am a Sinner and I do and will continue to Ask of GOD Almighty to forgive me of My Sinfulness. I make no Claim on what I write about for without the Guidance of the Unknown by me God who does nourish my mindset Ways I am lost in the Word!”

I shall close this writing with a Prayer.

Our Fathers who Art within the heavens of Heaven; Hallowed be Their Names. Their Kingdoms Come and Their Wills be done Upon this Earth as is within their heavens. Give to Our Thoughts our daily Bread and Forgive us Our Sins as we forgive those who sinned against us and lead all naught into Temptation, but Deliver us all from Evil for GOD is the Power and the Glory Forever and Ever, Amen.

Just came across the video, website, & blog. As a life-long Christian, I’m glad that there is a group taking up this issue. While Mr. Sandhills is correct in saying that (I’m paraphrasing here) we must come to Christ as individuals, this is not in keeping with Rand’s philosophy. Being Christian is about being a member of the body of Christ–the community of those have have accepted Him and try to live by his teachings. Rand’s beliefs are based upon a radical & extreme individualism that is not supported by the gospels. Rand is about the worship of self, not God, and the self is probably one of the most destructive of idols.
Make no mistake, I’m no fan of government in general nor ours in specific (and for the record, I distrust most politicians of both parties). However, if we our struggle to live by Christ’s teaching that what we do to the least of us we do to Him, we cannot negate the role of collective action, which in our society translates to republican (small ‘r’) democracy. Our government is deeply flawed, but there exists no other institution to stand against the greed (a mortal sin!) of big business corporatism. To the extent that our elected leaders support the corporate world, I agree that “death, abuse, and poverty”; the root of the problem, though, is the a-moral, a-religious world of business. Why does it surprise people that an atheist like Rand is worshiped (I use the word intentionally) by capitalists and their supporters? What is necessary is to restore a governments “of the people, by the people, and FOR the people,” not eliminate it & thereby allow the corporate world to inflict more pain and suffering.

People who have read Rand and watch Beck see through this.

This article is even MORE a piece of disinformation than the original articles “Rand vs. Christ” – these people, such as Beck, are not “followers of Ayn Rand” – and Beck (if you had bothered to listen just to the segment in which he discussed that little ad) did not reverse course, any more than he wholeheartedly endorsed her the way the original article claimed.
As a New Testament christian, I have long seen the points in which Rand’s philosophy conflicts with Christianity, but have still seen how her ideas can be used by followers of Christ Jesus to help in the fight against evil. Especially the kind of twisted evil that your own brand of “Christianity” is. Unless a person owns themselves, they are incapable of surrendering themselves to Christ, but you teach, in so many words, that humans belong first and foremost to the state, and that God commands this! Speaking of fruits, as this article does, what are the fruits of government? Death, abuse, hatred, poverty, and more all result from government which seeks, sooner or later, to either place itself between individuals and God, or to replace God!

You just completely took what Beck said out of context. Beck was explaining her perspective. But I know you know that but to spout some religious “holier than thou” while you knowingly take someone out of context, that is evil.
