Anne Rice Quits Christianity
No CommentsAnne Rice, the bestselling novelist with a reputation for her religiosity, has quit being a Christian. She announced it on her Facebook account and her message has created quite a stir.
Rice declared on her Facebook account:
“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 a 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.
“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.”
As expected, pro and con comments are appearing all over the internet. On Watts Cookin Blpg we have posted a column by Leonard Pitts on the subject. We will post others as well as comments.
