Ayn Rand was close to getting it right but ends up falling flat on her face. There are tons of objective truths. Relativism is utter horseshit. Jesus being the son of God is not "your truth", it is a claim about reality which is either true or untrue. Both of these possibilities have huge implications on our world. If it's true, Billions on this Earth will have the misfortune of worshipping the wrong God, or failing to worship a god. If it is untrue, Billions(around Two) of people on this planet are collectively delusional, and waste much of their lives on superstition, while impeding scientific progress(Without the Christians, George Bush's two elections become absolutely impossible to win. Make that any republican. Well.. make that any Democrat too, but my point is not to illustrate that Christians are necessary to elect our world leader. It is impossible anyway to get elected while showing some kind of doubt regarding a Heaven or Hell in this country.).
