  1. Dear Mr. Jacob86, As a long term Objectivist and you being a newbie forgive me if I come off as a bit avuncular. To make this philosophy a guide to your life you need to drop the rationalistic methods you learn in religion (as I did as well): If A then B; if B then C, If C then D - D so that proves A. That deductive methodology is almost always wrong because it is disconnected from reality. I know it is very hard to purge your psychology of that habitual method of tackling issues. It took me a couple of decades. But it will be much easier today with all the helpful resources available. The best is Leonard Peikoff's "Understanding Objectivism" available at the Ayn Rand Bookstore. You need to make Existence exists part of your psycho-epistemology. What is is. The world revealed to you by your sight, touch, hearing, smell, taste. Existence simply is. Causes and effects are within the universe. If you think you have an *inductive* proof of god - that is one that proceeds from sense perception then that would be fun to discuss. In the meantime, all the arguments every given for god are thoroughly refuted by Diana Hsieh on her website and I refer you to that as she does a far better job than I can. Warm Regards, Ted Gray
