BerthaVenation, it is not for me to decide if you go to hell or not.

But is there a soul; is it different from "heart"?

The Jesuit Professor crammed Ayn Rand down our throats 'till all of us puked. Now not being bright and quick, it took me a few years of studying Rand, yeah long after I passed the class.
It was in her "For the New Intellectual" that finally one day it slapped me hard enough to earn realization, she had no love. Yeah, that wonderful romantic piece that makes us fools, that makes us heroes and makes life worth the efforts. She loudly proclaimed her atheism, compared religion to "Attila the Hun" or the "Witchdoctor". IMO the teabaggers, many who claim to be Fundies themselves, honor Rand's lack of compassion, respect her unique concept of justice, and applaud her view of acquiring materialistic possessions. There is no appreciation for what is within the human spirit. Every time I hear or read the word "atheism" it is Rand that comes to mind.

Because I am a romantic in heart, soul and spirit, I believe there was "intelligent Design" and that the benefits include free will and free choice- That may be the best of Intelligent Design.
