Yesterday there was an article online in the Fox News Opinion section comparing the philosophy of Jesus Christ versus Ayn Rand.

The state I live in eats, sleeps, and breathes college football. People wear their teams’ jerseys proudly and display their flags saluting their favorite team from their cars.
