why do many right-wing Christians worship Ayn Rand?

Question

Ayn Rand believed:
“I do not consider [charity] a major virtue and, above all, I do not consider it a moral duty.”
"[Every man] must exist for his own sake, neither sacrificing himself to others nor sacrificing others to himself. The pursuit of his own rational self-interest and of his own happiness is the highest moral purpose of his life."

VS.

Bible:
“Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others” (Philippians 2:3–4).

''Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends.''- John 15:13.


Ayn Rand admired the serial killer William Edward Hickman for his sociopathic egoist qualities.
In 1928, Rand began planning a novel called The Little Street, whose protagonist, Danny Renahan, was to be based on "what Hickman suggested to [her]." Describing Hickman, Rand wrote "Other people do not exist for him, and he does not see why they should," and that he had "no regard whatsoever for all that society holds sacred, and with a consciousness all his own. He has the true, innate psychology of a Superman. He can never realize and feel 'other people.'"

what does this say about the right-wing mentality?

Answer 1

Probably a lot less than you would like to think. If you knew ANYTHING about Christianity, you would know charity is a corner stone of it. This USED to be common knowledge, what's happened?

Answer 2

Um, Ayn Rand ? Worshipping?? And I like the support you have to back that claim up. Good Job!
