so Ayn Rand is equivalent to L Ron Hubbard. OK i see your point, thanks for clearing it up.
Ha... L Ron Hubbard's books are indeed on that reader's choice list, but Scientology is famous for their organized campaigns to game best-seller lists and lists like this. Orwell's 1984 and Joyce's Ulysses are high on the reader's choice list as well, so Rand has good company.

This guy should give lessons on how to break up with someone in a way that honors their inner light.

husband tests bullet proof glass with his wife
So I'm just wondering the obvious... why was it necessary to have someone stand behind the glass?
You want the glass to float in mid-air, smartass?

how so?
In reply to this comment by chilaxe:
^Snubbing books that aren't regarded as high literature by literary academics isn't as condemning as it might seem.
Literary academics belong to a homogeneous culture that's isolated in some ways from much of the larger intellectual community. Freud is still taught in literature departments as if his ideas were a reasonable representation of the field of psychology, which hasn't been true for a number of decades.
Literary academics' culture values books like Joyce's Ulysses and Proust's In Search of Lost Time or Remembrance of Things Past (which is a top contender in lists that include books in other languages), but to more utilitarian cultures, like those related to economics and science, these two books seem to be about how to live a mediocre, useless life (Ulysses) and how to live an indulgently nostalgic, useless life (In Search of Lost Time).
Books from readers' top lists like the Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged aren't written from or for that specialized academic literary culture, and we want thinking people from all of our sub-cultures to have reflective literary works that speak to their values.
(Please share your thoughts, anybody.)

Of course this is Christianity. Jesus was a raving lunatic, just like these people.
I was going to respond that Christianity brought some valuable innovations to the religious scene of the time, but such a statement would predict that we could identify these innovations that Jewish culture lacks.
Contradicting that prediction is that Jews tend to actually perform significantly better in socially valued outcomes like education, career performance, and Nobel prizes.

If an individual experienced various phenomenon like an in utero hormonal spike that masculinized or feminized the parts of the embryonic brain that were undergoing the most development at that stage... or if they're genetically one gender but by all other measures another gender... than there's no reason for them to go against their nature.
The Bible has 0 to say about either of those conditions. Really, the Bible doesn't even know what a biological cell is. Social pressure to conform to uninformed interpretations of holy texts seems fallacious.
