Because she confused them as synonymous.

Judging by her accomplishments, her level, or depth, or height, or degree, or totality of comprehension exceeds your own.

Human life-tip for the exterminating intent of all daleks attempting to pass as human:
If you care enough to write anything, make it worthwhile.

Yeah. And you're the pro wrestler.

If it's not too elementary school ...

Ayn Rand said that God is Ego.

Ayn Rand was also an atheist.

What do you make of that?
Of course that she was a self serving lunatic, what else?

Sidebar: Of course the meaning of anyone's words can only actually be found in their mind alone. Any understanding of them, especially without back and forth exchange, can only be extrapolated based upon the readers life experiences, which can only ever be, relative to writers. So we often find what we want to find!

I remember you liked that when you first read it, and now you've appropriated it into your lexicon.
Wrong again as usual. I was just pointing out that you exemplified exactly that, which you used as a case, to demean others. (You exuded that which you used to fault others.) In other words you're a hypocrite, a fool, an ignoramus, etc, by your own admission!

The moral of the story? Often humans can only call into question that which they are all to familiar with, because they exemplify it, and have for so long and so completely.

Well done.
And by the way this little bit of yours only solidifies my point. It was all about your need to protect you out of fear of me. Protection fear racket, anyone?

Not much, except she can incorrectly substitute one word for another, falsely equating them. God is not a synonym for ego in a standard dictionary.

Hey, I can have a bad day just like anyone else, does it really matter that these days most of mine are bad, hell no!

But forget about me. Why would Rand say that God is ego? What in the world are the implications of such a view. It is to wonder.
Sure, but did you comprehend my "sidebar" a couple posts up? You and I, and I'm sure many others, could sit around and debate the issue until the cows come home, but only she would be able to clarify. Of course in saying that, I'm going way out on a limb, giving her the benefit of doubt.

It would have been more proper to have asked, "Why 'could' have Rand said, "God is ego?"" Because I can surely speculate as to why she might say such, but not necessarily why she would.

You do know that Rand was an atheist.
