No, Ayn Rand was right that Christianity is the kindergarten of communism. Even if it we're not; faith is the unadulteratedly evil curtailment of reason. Necessarily corruptive.

>To me, maturity is summarized as sacrifice; a willingness to accept as reasonable and necessary the sacrifice of your self - your comfort, attitudes, resources, and time - which leads to an increased perception of reliability, credibility, trustworthiness, and authority.

You now know how Ayn Rand felt when she famously said "I found myself in profound disagreement with all existing philosophies.

>do you think that we can derive whether God does or does not exist
Better; Objectivism just factors hims out entirely as a metaphysical irrelevance both if he does and doesn't exist. It (validly) dismisses the question of proving if God exists or not by calling on the law of logic; That you are never called upon to prove a negative.

>I have no idea how you can think this
I think this because unlike you assert I actually HAVE read Kant and concluded that Rand hard refutes him. I could not have failed to become curious of Kant in Rand's aggressive attack on him after reading P:WNI.
Kant's whole motivation in this matter is the desire to escape the law of causality and identity. His philosophy is essentially one big rationalization for the desire to keep the irrationalist's cult of Mysticism and all the intellectual shortcuts and 'package deals' (as Rand puts it) that entails. Moving the goalposts of what Kant's critique of reason constituted is pretty much the modus operandi of those trying (and always failing) to defend him against Rand. Unlike Kant's thought; reason is not indicted because it cannot be practiced infallibly. Fallibilty being a epistemological indictment to "pure reason" is the absurdity the entirety of Kantianism rests on:

>Ayn Rand was the biggest fucking idiot in all of philosophy and literally the only people I know that think her works are good is trailer trash and bogans. If you would even just take a second to google whether her criticism of Kant was even coherent and click on the first couple of links you would learn that she, like you, is a lying pseudo intellectual who has absolutely not read Kant.
A. Again, yes I have
B. I'd much rather go to the source material in question than read someone's loaded summary of it dripping with agenda.
C. Ad hominem. In addition you have only ever purported THAT a thing you assert about Rand is true and not how this is reasoned out. I'm sure you also take the fact that she is hated so vorciferously among academics as 'proof' that she is not to be taken seriously. An appeal to authority fallacy I have a response ready made for:
The dreaded, horrible secret that academic philosophers face (and why they do not even allow the notion of Objectivism as a philosophy) is that Objectivism is not -a- Philosophy but THE Philosophy. And pseuds the world over are perpetually butthurt over this incontrovertible fact. Yes fact, I do not exaggerate. Including it among their other disparate half formed, half actualized "philosophies", they find it eats everything it comes into contact with. This disrupts their vested interest in keeping a fanciful salad-esque collection of philosophies to catalog away and do nothing objectively meritous with it on their own terms. Despite what these sorts of people would have to say, it isn't Ayn Rand but academia as it stands that is "the joke"
