This is an emotional hot button with people. I see religion for
many as an addiction, and when you threaten one's addiction,
beware of the consequences. I try to instill reason memes in
other people's thought space, without threatening their religion
memes. This is difficult, but often possible.

Speaking of Rand, I saw a new video called the Passion of
Ayn Rand. Anyone seen it? I passed it up to get October
Sky, which instantly rocketed into my top 10 list of favorite
movies ever. spike
