I quit being a Christian...today
Well said, Anne Rice!

"Today I quit being a Christian. I'm out," she wrote. "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 10 years, I've tried. I've failed. I'm an outsider. My conscience will allow nothing else.... 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."

Re: I quit being a Christian...today
This from the article explains a lot...

A) "a writer of vampire stories and bisexual erotica. Enter Anne Rice, the 68-year-old author of bestselling novels about the sexy undead and, pseudonymously, of various sadomasochistic-inflected tales.

And this....

B) "her girlhood Catholicism"


She's angry and bitter. Understandably so.

Hope she comes to true salvation. She has a chance now that she left the Catholic Church.

Pray for her.

“Whoever thou art, whatever in other respects thy life may be, my friend, by ceasing to take part in the public worship of God, as it now is, thou has constantly one guilt the less, and that a great one: thou dost not take part in treating God as a fool by calling that the Christianity of the New Testament which is not the Christianity of the New Testament.”

Actually I quit being a Christian long ago. I just liked the name of her article and used it as my subject. :-)
Regardless of the type of fiction she writes, she's right, and those are some reasons WHY I quit Christianity. Most wars are started because of religion. Ridiculous judgment is passed in the name of religion. The Christian Bible is so ridiculously Earth-centric that it makes humans sound like a bunch of arrogant retards who think in our ever expanding, titanically large universe that we are the ONLY life out there. Pathetic.

I am aware of only one Judge.
The LORD knows all - and certainly knows what is in the heart of people.
Everyone will stand before the LORD and give an account for themselves.

Everyone.

People make choices everyday which affect their destiny. Rather than focus on this lady, focus on the choices made which affect your destiny.

Yeah, I got that you are not a Christian when you said "Well said Anne Rice."

Took that to mean you agree.

And what a person writes is what is in their mind. What is there already is expressed by and through the writing.

What she writes is only of concern to God, her, and anyone who reads it. I don't read her, so my observation is based on what it says she writes about. Those sort of things do not appeal to a person who truly walks with Jesus Christ. But, if someone else wants to enjoy those things, or give credibility to a person's words who writes those types things, they are free to go for it with no complaints from me.

I was commenting on what is behind her words and looking deeper.

She has something in her that causes her to write about vampire stories, bisexual erotica, the sexy undead, sadomasochistic-inflected tales. And I think it is tied directly to experience with the Catholic Church and deep resentment and rebellion.

I also said I understand that because I know what the Catholic Church can do to a person. I am relieved one more came out, but still hoping she finds true salvation.

I don't imagine you care for my comments.

I don't care to follow religion, I am tired of all the hypocrites and false prophets and perverted preachers. I am not big on the church. I feel closest to God when I am doing my own thing and following his teachings, or at least trying to!!!

Re: I quit being a Christian...today
She also said this when she explained herself, which I did not see in that article:

"My faith in Christ is central to my life. My conversion from a pessimistic atheist lost in a world I didn't understand, to an optimistic believer in a universe created and sustained by a loving God is crucial to me. But following Christ does not mean following His followers. Christ is infinitely more important than Christianity and always will be, no matter what Christianity is, has been or might become."

This is what really stands out for me and why I understand it. Those of you who didn't read this part might erroneously think she abandoned Christ.
