“If thou be the son of god, command that these stones he made bread. But Jesus resisted the temptation.”
Lol as if anyone could do that if they wanted to
Mans starving in the wilderness resisting the urge to magically turn rocks into food

There needs to be some balance between accepting the challenge of Satan and wealth (materialism, angel fallen from the sublime into the rational) and submitting to a higher power that views humanity in a scope beyond competition and capitalistic success
That said, I like the idea of Jesus’ final temptation being his sacrifice and the final veil of Satan, and his resurrection as a folly that has driven humanity towards the moment we are in now.
Rand succumbs to this form of Satan - reverence of the rational, deification of great men as the ultimate ideal. Rearden to me is admirable but I would never want to emulate his sad life - Dagny is most appealing, free in her relationships AND her ambition
