Paul Ryan Leaves Ayn Rand For The Republican Version Of Christianity

Paul Ryan ran into problems when he made a recent presentation at Georgetown University.  In response to criticism that he worshiped Ayn Rand, and not the view of Jesus held by many of the catholic's at Georgetown, Ryan denounced Ayn Rand as an atheist who he admired in his youth.  The audience was not receptive to Ryan's claim that his politics are inspired by his religious faith.  They argued that Christ was not a Social Darwinist. Their faith is predicated on a view of Christ that is foreign to many Republicans who favor the super rich over the needs of the poor.  Paul Ryan and Rick Santorum have a faith inspired version politics that is inconsistent with the views of many who have devoted their careers to serving those in need.
