Cant Resist
Posted on 17th May, 2007 by TW
I know I shouldn’t, but I cant resist a post on the Parabiodox blog. A recent post there reads: (Emphasis mine)
Happened to come across this quote from Ayn Rand and couldn’t resist repeating it.
From Neo-Objectivism at Wikipedia.
“There is nothing wrong in using ideas, anybody’s ideas. Provided that you give appropriate credit, you can make any mixture of ideas that you want; the contradiction will be yours. But why do you need the name of someone (or their philosophy) with whom you do not agree in order to spread your misunderstandings — or worse, your nonsense and falsehoods?” (From “The Moratorium on Brains,” Question and Answer Period.)
Now I wonder who she could be talking about ?
This is really a bit of a no-brainer and is really rhetorical but even so I can’t resist giving you a further clue.
What faith/belief system spends most of it’s time attacking other faiths and beliefs in an effort to mask the fact that it has nothing of substance to offer itself?
Now, personally I think I know where the dig is aimed, but the answer to the question is “Abrahamic Religions (Judaeo-Christianity and Islam)” surely?
