| Summary: | The author comments on two papers about God and Objectivism by Patric Toner and Stephen E. Parrish. Toner misreads several comments by Objectivist scholars about objectivism's direct objection to the concept of a god, thus, responding to Toner requires a systematic exposition of an objective approach to the god question. Some arguments of Parrish depend on inserting an element contrary to Objectivism into some Objectivist comment. The author says that it is not legitimate to combine what Objectivism considers a non-concept with Objectivist arguments. |
