It took Mark several years to realise that religion and objectivism don’t work together. It’s super interesting listening to him talk about it — here are a few tweets from a discussion on Twitter.

You’ll see over time that the contradiction cannot stand. One or the other will win.

I tried it for years. In the end it must be all one thing.

You can’t be simultaneously selfless and selfish. You can’t simultaneously believe in a world of law and buy supernaturalism. You can’t have disdain for the material world and live happily within it. You can’t love your neighbor as yourself and prioritize your values.

The supernatural by definition is above… outside the universal as we know it… otherwise it would just be ‘the natural’.. additionally it’s a primacy of consciousness orientation to the world (like modern skeptics today)… and I’m a primacy of existence guy
