God = Truth I believe that Ayn Rand unfortunately had too much of a jewish understanding of religion (based on hundreds of rules and laws) and didn’t publicly acknowledge the freedom and absolute Reason of Jesus Christ. All of her philosophy still works in practice under gospel teaching- because the best way to serve yourself is to live for God and accept his forgiveness and Christ’s gift of redemption for your eternal soul. Fair trade and honest money are explicitly commanded by Christ- shamefully we would not get that impression from observing the average Fiat worshipping “American Christian” So if you recognize your own soul- and stand for free markets and liberty, it’s actually very selfish and totally rational in the Ayn Rand sense to follow Christ. Bastiat said: "May they reject all systems, and try liberty; for liberty is an acknowledgment of faith in God and His works." Please read for yourself the words of Christ recorded in the gospel of Matthew or John (those accounts are first hand) and see for yourself the type of philosophy Jesus himself expounded. You can skip the endless noise of people “explaining” what Jesus said. Just read what he said directly and make up your own mind 🧡
