I always found it kind of interesting that though she was an atheist, her fictitious story prophetically parallels the events of the rapture prior to the tribulation. (John Galt representing Jesus who gathers the producers [believers] letting society crumble upon itself)
I don’t see any sort of irony. Galt was an ideal productive individual who did not need others to succeed... trickle down prosperity if you have to make the stretch. Jesus, on the other hand, was sent for sole purpose of saving the world. To me, polar opposites.
That never crossed my mind. Great observation. Puts her books in a new light.
Thank you for a great insight, another thing for me to ponder more closely.
