  1. I read "The Fountainhead" when I was fourteen. I was exposed to the novel through my uncle. He is a strong Objectivist. I started reading it because I love to read. I kept reading because I found that Ayn Rand had the words to express what I'd always felt about the world. I'm seventeen now and I can't imagine people thinking in a non-Objectivist fashion. It baffles my mind that people still believe in God. I have a hard time tolerating people because I know that they don't think for themselves. I know this because they believe in God. And when I give them my argument as to why there is no proof of a higher power, they can't refute what I say, but they continue to believe blindly that God will save them anyway. So I've given up. I don't think that people can change unless they want to, no matter how much anyone tries to convince them. So that's why I'm here. My mind needs stimulation because there is no point arguing with people who have the entirely wrong moral premise. I'm a senior in high school and can't wait for college. Hopefully there I will find some engaging people who can appreciate the world as I do. Until then, however, I am excited to get to know the people on this forum....because I bet you all have a lot to offer and I've got a lot to give back in return. M
