Seeker Posted December 24, 2007 Report Share Posted December 24, 2007 As far as I know, former Saturday Night Live star Julia Sweeney isn't an Objectivist, and I don't know what her thoughts about Ayn Rand are, but she deserves at least two cheers for her monologue "Letting Go Of God" in which she chronicles her journey "from Cathlolic girl to atheist woman". A few things stood out as I listened to it, first, she uncovers the philosophical roots of her inquiry, in effectively embracing objective reality and an evidence-based epistemology; and she demonstrates the courage of her convictions in a cultural climate that is hostile to atheism. Her skewering of religion and the way she peeled back the layers of her former beliefs one by one were an entertaining and inspiring listen. As a fan of Julia's SNL career and her previous monologue "God Said Ha!" I was delighted with "Letting Go of God" and recommend it to all.
