Anne:

You inspire so many people. Thank you!

Your novels (the gothic ones) made me, strangely enough, want to be a better Christian.

I respect you so much for everything you've done, everything you've written, and especially for your devotion to God.

PS: You rock for making a YouTube account!

[Yihud]

Death and hell is different for everyone, and your heaven would be more of a hell for me, at least if it was eternal. (also, have you heard of Anti-nomianism, or the Qabbalah)

[Yihud]

of course you're entitled to your opinion and faith that Satanism-and any other left hand path, leads someone to hell, and that there is a hell to begin with. But try to understand that perhaps hell is just another lower form (of reality where the psyche-self still has the free will to roam the earth, and maybe posses another human? Maybe heaven is formlessness, and the ego-self is destroyed,

Jeez, how annoying, is this an interview with Anne Rice or is it about that guy blabbing on and her trying to get a word in edge-wise?

[Yihud]

Whats your take on evil, on Lucifer and Satan, and even on Satanism-Luciferian path? Have you pondered upon gnosticism and the gnostic gospels?

[AnneRiceDotCom]

Yihud, I have little or no interest in any Satanich path. Why would anyone follow a path that leads to Hell? Makes no sense to me. I have no real interest in the gnostic gospels. I'm much more interested in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, and the challenge of writing fiction that is faithful to them, yet imaginative. Realistic. Thanks, Anne.

[Yihud]

Catholicism? I really didn't expect her to commit to that. I would understand a form of gnosticism, maybe even mysticism. but never catholicism.. nonetheless, I hope she's happy with he catholic "light"

[AnneRiceDotCom]

Yihud, I was baptized Catholic as a child, and went home to the 2,000 year old unbroken tradition, to the stories of the saints, to the sacraments, to the largest defined Christian community in the world: the ancient Roman Catholic faith. But I understand your puzzlement. Thanks, Anne.
