No. Then I must not have a good idea what it is. I was planning on reading the book Introduction to Objectivism after I finsh Atlas Shrugged. I think my stongest understanding is the capatalist part of objectivism. My belief in God probably destroys the metaphysics part. The bible says that all things are gifts from God. You use them how you want.

I think that it is your choice to give money or not. Neither choice is imoral or moral. My choice, I earn my money and wouldn't give it to anyone.

I have been reading Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged. I enjoy the ideas that go into them and the philosophy. However, I am christain. Can a person be objective while still believing that there is a God? My basic understanding on objectivism is that man owns his on time, property, and mind. So, I understand and agree with all basic outlined parts of objectivism except the whole no God thing.
