Zec 12:3 And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it. Psa 9:17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, [and] all the nations that forget God. Jer 6:2 I have likened the daughter of Zion to a comely and delicate [woman]. STOCK UP NOW.

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. |

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.

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. 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. |

Ice Princess User ID: 875198 United States 08/05/2010 05:24 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 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. |
