: But with Objectivists, who know it all, they are more than ready and prepared to tell you what should be most important to you, what decisions you should make when approaching the universe.
: Ultimately, they are far more dogmatic than any religious person.
It's interesting that you say that. Objectivism's basic principle is that of reason, which means to think for yourself. No one who ascribes to the philosophy of Objectivism would consider forcing their opinions and conclusions on someone else : they would present the facts and allow the viewer to use thought and rationality to draw their own conclusions. Either you haven't understood anything you've learned about objectivism, or you're regurgitating something that some equally misinformed person told you.
In any case, your comments are absurd.
