Supple Cow

Wow, I've never seen this kind of response from political satire. I don't think that the satire was too subtle - I think anything can be a touchy subject when it hits close to home.

I'm not going to get involved in this argument (it's not exactly just a discussion anymore), but I'll throw in my two cents. What I don't get is how meaning has to come from a higher being or how not believing in a higher being robs life of meaning. If anybody in this thread is looking for meaning that doesn't come from a god or a religion, they should read some Ayn Rand. The Fountainhead or Atlas Shrugged in particular. I'm not being facetious or trying to rile people up - I am just giving my personal experience. I was raised Catholic, went to catechism and read the Bible on countless nights with my mother, but I could never accept the faith. It never felt right to me. Not even for a minute. Not even as a child. The closes thing to a holy book in my life is Atlas Shrugged. Just like Seaver turned to religion in his hardest time, I turned to the philosophy in Ayn Rand's novels. Adopting these beliefs saved me.
