The Talk will be an hour and there will be a Q&A session open to anyone in the audience after the talk.
Christianity vs. Objectivism: Which is the Proper Philosophy for Living on Earth?
This talk argues that only Objectivism, the philosophy of Ayn Rand, provides a code of morality suitable for living successfully and happily on earth. Objectivism holds that reality is real, that reason is man’s only means of knowing it and that one should act in one’s own rational self-interest, with rationality being the highest virtue. Life is the objective standard of morality. In contrast, Christianity asserts that reality is governed by supernatural forces, that knowledge is based on faith and that the highest moral virtue is self-sacrifice. It will be shown that Christianity cannot be practiced consistently, destroys the integriity of man’s mind, and is incompatible with living successfully and happily in the real world.
