Anne Rice quits Christianity for Christ’s sake

No, I’m not being a sacrilegious smart-ass.  Read on.

The best selling author of The Vampire Chronicles returned to the fold years ago, after suffering the loss of her husband Stan, and falling into a diabetic coma.  This raised many an eyebrow, for Anne had been an athiest for years and has an openly gay son, author Christopher Rice.

Always adament that it wasn’t an issue as her son was exactly the way God intended him to be, it looks like some of God’s fan club finally got to Anne.

Yesterday, the author posted a message on Facebook page, saying, “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.” 

“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.”

Anne announced she had dumped vampires for Jesus, saying she would only write about Christ in 2002.  Anne seems to have had second thoughts and is now working on a series about angels.
