Whether or not it's true that your previous criticisms regarding her writing skills and her referencing are accurate I could care less. A classic error: "I could care less". The correct phrase is "I couldn't care less." The expression "I could care less" makes no sense at all, particularly when pre...

I never claimed that it doesn't offer anything. I am sure that it offers some sort of emotional and/or intellectual benefit to those who embrace it - just as Christianity does. In any case, it's impossible to prove a negative. That's a logical fallacy - as you would have known if you had studied ph...

Finally: and her fiction is interspersed with scenes of violent sex (possibly inspired by personal experiences within her various failed relationships - one of which was with a married man). Reference to these failings are found in Robert Slade's review of Atlas Shrugged : Both family and sexuality ...

Next: she hardly ever references her quotes, she throws sweeping generalisations into a half-baked mixture of unsupported assertions and unproven premises We saw an example of this in the previous post, but here's a few more - again, from Merrill: First, any number of *positions* are referred to wit...

Next: She distorts her sources For evidence of this, we turn to Gary Merrill's analysis: At some points she goes so far as to provide *vague* references. For example, on pp. 50-51 she offers us: As an illustration, observe what Bertrand Russell was able to perpetrate because people thought they "kin...

Next: her propositions woefully argued. Brilliantly demonstrated by Critique of the Objectivist Ethics (click here [/color] ). This guy dissects the fundamental premises of Rand's ethics, and shows that they are wholly insupportable. Read it and weep! :D Alternatively, see this blistering criticism ...

And now, my previous criticisms - with evidence to support them. Her writings are turgid, verbose, and laughable Obvious to anyone who has read them! But here's a sample from The Fountainhead : Howard Roark laughed. He stood naked at the edge of a cliff. The lake lay far below him. A frozen explosio...

Objectivism is a joke. I know of no serious academic or philosopher who takes it seriously, and no leading research university which considers it worthy of specialisation or study. I studied philosophy at university (Bachelor of Arts: Major in Religious studies; Minor in Philosophy), and covered ma...

As I understand their position, Arminians believe that "total depravity" renders man incapable of making any effort towards his own salvation, but does not preclude free will. Why would man be incapable of making an effort such as responding to God. Why would John perform a baptism of repentence be...

BTW, for anyone not familiar with my theological position: I am neither Calvinist nor Arminian. I believe that human beings have free will (which disqualifies me from Calvinism) and I reject the concept of "total depravity" (which disqualifies me from both Calvinism and Arminianism). As far as i kn...
