Hi! I'm a registered Libertarian, an Ayn Rand-er for 40 years now, read just about everything she ever wrote including The Objectist Newletter, (I have about 2 years of saved issues). I read Atlas Shrugged 3 times so far. By far my favorite book. I was so happy to find Ayn Rand in my early twenties and I agree with her on most things. I do, however, believe in God. I have only found a deep appreciation of beauty, creation, and a connection through my belief in God. It has never been a negative in my life. I have found these things in my readings of Ayn Rand also. I'm very happy to be a member of Galt's Gulch.... Andrea
