I wish to restate Wharfinger's definition of Randroidism - anyone who doesn't agree with
Ayn Rand shows himself incapable of thinking for himself. This can be clearly seen from individuals who quote
Ayn Rand as if it was
scripture or other
holy writ. Just as
fanatic Christians will find a passage in
the bible that supports their point of view, so will the followers of Randoidism find a passage in the works of Ayn Rand.
With any philosophy or religion, there will be people who regurgitate the dogma they belive. It is difficult for such an individual to see beyond what exists in their world view. A true grasp of any religion or philosophy requires the understanding of the other points of view. Quoting scripture does not show that this understanding is present and thus it is pointless to argue with such philosophasters - they hear and see only what fits what they know.
