As far as my phisophy goes being born and raised Catholic, I must admit to having some trouble letting go of curtain beliefs, such as the belief in an afterlife. However after listening to some lectures from the Ayn Rand Institute and interviews with Ayn Rand herself, I've come to understand and accept objectivism as the most the reasonable and therefore beneficial phisophy one can have. Despite this I still have a lot to learn, again thank you guys for the helpful comments.
