Ayn Rand's Objectivism is snake oil posing as a philosophy.

Objectivism (Ayn Rand) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaObjectivism holds that reality exists independent of consciousness
The reason I object to that sentence is that is is misleading, in that it treats atheism as an ideology. Once can speak of the roots of libertarianism, or of Secular Humanism or of Christianity, but to speak of 'roots' of a personal non-belief in deity seems fallacious.It is important for the atheists here to understand their roots

I'm more of a positivist
Why do we care what Ayn Rand said on this subject?
It is important for the atheists here to understand their roots, just as the Christians here ought not to be ignorant of Judaism.
I think it says much that the same arguments have been forwarded for centuries and theists still ignore them,.
As I watch the video, most of what she is saying is what I would call a 'standard' collection of responses one expects from a reasoning atheist.
atheisim is an ideology.....one could argue it also meets the definition of a religion....
Only if one were a retard with no understanding of what the words mean.
It's easily arguable that athiesm is a person set of religious attitudes, beliefs, and practices.
No, it is not. Evidently, you are the retard in question who does not know what the words mean.It's also easily arguable that Athiesm is a cause, principle, or system of beliefs held with ardor and faith.
Faith, is, by definition, belief without evidence. That is contrary to reason and logic,Just who said FAITH is void of reason....
as demonstrated, Christian faith established by the revelation found in the Holy Scriptures is certainly not void of reason
Christian faith is found to be established based upon what can be DEMONSTRATED AS TRUTH.
Biblical faith is not having a belief in something that is not supported by reason and logic...or as some humanistic seculars declare....a belief in something not supported facts, or an illogical belief in the occurrence of the improbable
Even some dictionaries define FAITH as believing in something that is not true...or a belief without proof
(personally I will leave that one up the Darwinian Cultist
that propagates Common Descent from DEAD MATTER
and an unprovable belief in a self creating universe...
that created itself from nothing,
To even admit that Christianity is only probable and unprovable is to admit the possibility that it is a hoax.
There is not one single passage that suggests the revelation that our very soul depends upon is only PROBABLY true. In each case...reasoned and logical evidence is provided for the things presented as A TRUTH COMING FROM GOD.
. Faith (Biblical) itself is referenced as a reasoned judgment that something is true, based upon the evidence provided.
Thus...the secular world inverts the process of fairness (innocent until proven guilty)
into a STRAW position
and demand upon those that do not even claim to have witnessed anything....2000 years after the fact....TO PROVE another persons statement as being truth.
When it is the PROSECUTOR, or the one that brings the NEGATIVE charge of perjury.....that must DEBUNK those statements with PROOF...
Insomuch as your utter stupidity may be considered comical.AMUSING...no?
Faith, is, by definition, belief without evidence. That is contrary to reason and logic,
Faith, is, by definition, belief without evidence. That is contrary to reason and logic,
by your definition you mean.
feel free to cite the verse in which your definition appearsthe Biblical definition is:
action based on belief sustained by confidence

You know, Eagle, you're growing on me. But you really need to stop generalizing with idle supposition. I have a great deal of respect for Judaism. Just because one focuses their discussion on one thing, does not necessarily qualify ignorance in anything else.
