I'd still read the novel. Atlas Shrugged would be my choice. It would be like reading the Mein Kampf. But all for education purposes, and to see how absurd it all really is.
By the way, the First Testament was a fucked up read. So violent. So gory. I still haven't gotten around to read the New Testament, but it's in my to-do list.
- I dont think you understand.
  Hitler was almost as bad a person as rand, but a much better, only kinda bad, writer.
  Rand is suffering.
  
  😂😂😂😂
- Eh, the second is a disappointment compared to the first. The third one is great though, Bruce Willis is excellent in it.
  
  Eh? Which book are you talking about?
  
  Die and Resurrect Hard: Jesus' Omen, Jesus and the Goblet of Blood and Jesus' Freaky Adventures in the Women's Prison, respectively
  
  Book of Mormon maybe?
  
  Maybe an oblique reference to The Seventh Sign because Demi Moore is in it?
- FWIW, I was forced to memorize The Gospel, book by book, as punishment. (Parents and church, together) It backfired when it turned out I knew more than the elder members appreciated, and of course my "lack of faith" was the infraction. 🤌🏼
  Thus began my journey to anti-theism. (TST does Good works, though)
  
  Omg all the vader jokes youve been able to make. So jealous.
  
  Thing is, society hadn't put the letters ADH&D together yet, and so the virulent-book-club-cult had no idea what they were fomenting in my young, fact-addicted brain with that "punishment".
  Oh, no! Not that briar patch! Don't throw me in there, ol' Fox an' Bear! No! If you throw me down...

  Reading, truly the harshest punishment to apply to a kid! Then people wonder why "kids don't want to read"...
  
  Hahahahaha! Yeah they like to take passages out of context and give it whatever meaning they want.
  When you read it and see the whole work, you realize how bullshit religion really is.
  
  The thing is, though... It's designed that way. The confusion is an essential part of the control —by implying your inability to properly understand, the opposite fallacy is upheld: that there exists an elite few with the skill/talent/"divine gift" of deciphering all the answers.
  This is one of the first lies that humans created for themselves.
