Anne Rice quits Christianity, but stays with Jesus
[link to www.examiner.com]

"For those who care, and I understand if you don't: Today I quit being a Christian. I'm out. I remain committed to Christ as always but not to being "Christian" or to being part of Christianity. It's simply impossible for me to "belong" to this quarrelsome, hostile, disputatious, and deservedly infamous group. For ten ...years, I've tried. I've failed. I'm an outsider. My conscience will allow nothing else.

As I said below, I quit being a Christian. I'm out. In the name of Christ, I refuse to be anti-gay. I refuse to be anti-feminist. I refuse to be anti-artificial birth control. I refuse to be anti-Democrat. I refuse to be anti-secular humanism. I refuse to be anti-science. I refuse to be anti-life. In the name of ...Christ, I quit Christianity and being Christian. Amen."

Ah well, as in the words of Ghandi. "I like your Christ. I don't like your Christians, they are so unlike your Christ."

The cynic in me is saying it's a publicity stunt so she can start publishing her vampire books again. whatever

sounds like she's running out of money.

Re: Anne Rice quits Christianity, but stays with Jesus
Funny cause I quit Anne Rice a few years ago when I read the authors note to her book about Jesus, She insulted all her loyal fans of years in the note and called us all a bunch of hell bound sinners basically and said she could give a damn about her readers as long as she had gods love.....SO be it


I for one wont take her back :)

Re: Anne Rice quits Christianity, but stays with Jesus
Anne Rice has written enough vampire books and made enough popular drivel to be making money until she dies without writing another book.

she wrote several Christ the King books, with exquisite historical scholarship concerning the past, the situations, and anything that would have contributed to her characterizations. she's just that good.

I suspect, like most other thinking folk, that she got sick of stupid people on a pulpit sitting on a holy high horse and making it seem as if it was God's will streaming out of their mouth.

Good for her. I hope she follows her heart and faith wherever it takes her.

Re: Anne Rice quits Christianity, but stays with Jesus
Even the NEW AGE MOVEMENT is anticipating THEIR "Christ". Even Islam has a "Jesus" in their Koran.

Anne Rice doesn't make any sense at all - I don't think she was a believer to begin with.

TO SEARCE FOR THE TRUTH IS A NOBLE CAUSE, WHILE LIVING IN THE LIE, CAN ONE FIND THE TRUTH? NO, BUT THERE IS A LITTLE BIT OF TRUTH IN EVERY LIE. WHY IS THAT? THE LIE, CAN NOT EXSIST WITHOUT THE TRUTH. THE LIE HAS TO LIE ABOUT SOMETHING, OH YA THE TRUTH. SO IN SCIENCE, RELIGION, LOGIC, REASON THE HUMANITIES OR EVERYTHING THAT MANKIND STANDS FOR. BUT WAIT! MANKIND IS FLAWED, HIS SCIENCE IS FLAWED, HIS RELIGION IS FLAWED, THE WORLD IS FLAWED. CAN I EXPERENCE THE HOLY GRAIL OR THE TRUTH? YES! THE TRUTH IS IN YOU, THE TRUTH CREATED YOU, THE TRUTH IS THE SUBSTANCE THAT HOLDS THE EVERYTHING WE SEE TOGEATHER. PROOF OF THIS IS THE LIE CAN NOT CREATE ANYTHING ONLY PERVERT WHAT HAS ALREADY BEEN CREATED(EVOLUTION). THE LIE HAS POWER AND AUTHORITY. THE PROOF IS, THE LIE REASONS WITH THE TRUTH, OR ARGUES WITH THE TRUTH. WHY NOT ARGUE WITH THE LIE? THE TRUTH DOES NOT HAVE TO ARGUE WITH THE LIE, BECAUSE HE IS THE TRUTH. OH NOOOOO MISTER BILL I SAID IT NOW. WHO IS HE? JESUS CHRIST IS THE TRUTH, JUST LOOK IT UP. SO COME OVER TO THE TRUTH, ACCEPT THE BAPTISM OF THE FATHER IN HEAVEN, THE SON AND THE HOLY SPIRIT AND GET SOME TRUTH!

So, she IS still terminally stupid, even MORE than stupid, and she claims to STILL BE a Christian, just not a member of organized Christianity.

STILL worshiping a FALSE GOD, as Jesus DID NOT fulfill the critical prophecy required for the Messiah, that of freeing the Hebrews from the Romans.

Thank God. I hope she can get back to writing more Vampire Chronicles.

And I hope she SEES and UNDERSTANDS that Christ CELEBRATES her craft and creativity. GOOD for her that she saw through the bullshit of the religion. Too bad it took her 10 years.

Re: Anne Rice quits Christianity, but stays with Jesus
You do NOT need to be part of a MAN MADE organization to follow Jesus/God/Christ.

How many of you REALLY believe that your minister/priest/rabbi/pastor/etc is passing along the message of YOUR god? Whatever god that might be?

You can have all the faith in the world that what you hear in church/temple/etc is the inspired word of your creator, but you have no way of knowing that. I once had faith that my ministers spoke the word of God, but I came to realize that they ALL have an agenda of some sort. Some are in it for the money (or not having to pay taxes). Some are in it for the high of being in control of others. Some are delusional human beings, period.


Anne Rice quit her vampire/witch writing so she could become a Christian (whatever she believed that to be.. whatever she believed God/Christ wanted her to believe that to be). She then was told that gay people are sinners, women have no rights, etc.. Basically she learned real quick that MAN makes up the rules. Organized religion is all about fear, hatred of those who are "different", judging others, and so on. So frankly, I applaud her decision to quit.

I believe in God, and I have NO belief in man. You can be a good person, loved by God/Christ/Jesus without stepping foot in a building each week.

LOL!! Oh yes we can...too late to try to tell us that.

 Quoting: LA-LA-LA

and the hardest people to save are the ones who think they are.
Christians have had to face and realize their own sins, and feel compelled to try and help others as well.

This chant of Holier than thou is wrong and is taught by others making you think what is cool or acceptable to them.

The thought of "believe as i do" is strongly in an unbelievers life, because they feel they will be ridiculed by their friends.

Every falsehood a unbeliver weilds, is merely a reflection of the obstacles that unbeliever must face from his very own peers.

Unbelievers are the true followers, they are dedicated to fear of what other people think of them.

And because of this, they are ashamed of themselves, but wall themselves up to feel comfortable and safe, assuring themselves with rationality and laughter.

Which is insanity!
