wow - again?? Reading her epilogue after Christ the Lord Out of Egypt, I saw that she had put much research into reclaiming Christianity, after Catholic, turned atheist. I ultimately respect her decision and do believe that she is one of the most well read and studied contemporary writers in the field of exploring the metaphysical, as well as the historical past of religion and metaphysics. And I agree with and support her decision to denounce organized religion in the name of Jesus Christ.
Bravo!! As a cradle Catholic, I have asked the same questions. And as for the so-called Christians who practice the religion of Hate--I would NEVER identify myself with them!!
Amen. When the message of a book is "to love one another" where do people get off with condemnation and judgements and using the ebook that tells them not to do those things either as justification?
She's not rejecting Christianity. She's rejecting organized religion and the whole basis if Christianity, She believes in Christ but does not embrace Christianity, and I, for one, agree with her.
Christianity has strayed from the basis of love thy neighbor. We love thy neighbor as long as he or she's like us.
And NOWHERE in the Bible does it say you have to be part of Christianity to be saved. You must believe in Jesus as the Olny Begotten Son of God and what He did for our sins.

God says you can be gay... you just cant have sex with the same sex... that brings to eternal death... anne rice is just a retard.. she made god look bad so ... now youll see her in hell :P
@Jordanpwnz702 And we'll see you suffering in your own state of delusion. Anne Rice is correct on everything she said! Organized religion such as Christianity and Catholicism have their dirty laundry yet they judge other people? Religion is a joke! I'm glad Anne Rice came out to put you religion fanatics in your place! You guys always quote, "God loves you, he has a plan for you, he loves everyone, blah" yet you guys are the judge of what he likes and dislikes! Ignorant and imbecille!
Anne Rice probably writing book for the devil, but never read the bible from the heart. Another political correctness, if you are really Christian, Christianity is not about your personally nonsense! It is supposed to be from the heart, not your bitterness to other individual!!
Sane again!I am most definitely looking forward to the writing this produces.Nothing wrong with following the teachings of Jesus as long as that is what one does.Too many people make it way more complicated than that and lose sight.
Just the fact that there is backlash for standing up for one's ethics is enough to stay away from organized religion. I don't know how she put up with 12 years of the oppression of human rights before she finally got sick of it.
@r4wmaterial its not gross the billons that love it. we think heterosexual sex is not that cute either, but we dont hate people who do it. u r showing a lack of respect which u r given. and u think u r going to heaven before we do? lmao!! we will be waiting for u there even though it might take u a while. we then will accept ur apology
KUDOS ANNE! I TOO LEFT CHRISTIANITY. MAN HAS RUINED GOD THROUGH HIS MISGUIDED RELIGIOUS CAUSE. I CHOOSE LOVE OVER HATE! SHAME ON ALL SO CALLED CHRISTIANS
@rggarrett007 vampires are satanic and wicked? hmm. lets look at some biblical sriptures=kill all homosexuals-kill your mother if she is wearing two differet thread-u r unclean if u touch a dead pig, hope u dont eat pork rinds-stone the local who worked on the sabbath. etc. DONT THROW STONES IN GLASS HOUSES
OK, i'm a bit lost... Is this video really from 2010?? I love her, I really do, and all of her vampires and witches but I'm totally confusedright now, she already gave up christianity twice.... Can someone explan?? Please...
I had the virus of christianity for a while....Then I ate a bunch of watermelon, shit dollar signs for three days and now I am over it and stronger because of it.
The headline is simply incorrect. Everything she states indicates a belief in the core theology of Christianity, including the resurrection of Jesus. I can't imagine that any educated, objective person would conclude that she is anything but a Christian. She simply disagrees with Church policy, as do millions of self-professed Christians. This is a non-story.
@euthman and your fucked...and you christans believe in the rapture too..and it's not even in the holy bible..tell yea what...you need to donate your brain to science..b/c your not using it!
I'm a "Christian" and I completely understand where Ann is coming from. I would never forget the day I set in church and heard my pastor of 2 years spread lies about Islam and 911. That was the last time I ever step foot in that particular church.
Since then, I haven't been able to find a church that hasn't tried to have some political agenda. Whenever Pastors endorse candidates, run the other way. I feel that once a pastor endorses a candidate, they should lose their Tax Free Exemption.
@SUPERDOOPERTUBER hm? i hink ts foolish to stay in a relgion that has blind faith whichallows them to hate,discriminate,kill, and have the audasity to say is all out of love.
@SUPERDOOPERTUBER hm? i think ts foolish to stay in a relgion that has blind faith whichallows them to hate,discriminate,kill, and have the audasity to say is all out of love.
@iwillspyonyou About sums up my thoughts on the matter. Except the story itself is BS, she just said she follows Christ still that says to me she's a Christian. So she quit her church or all churches ... and as you say who cares?
I have to agree with Anne Rice about organized religion. Current Christianity is as far away from what Christ meant as they can be. The religions are all major money-making conglomerates. If you try to publically question the doctrines, they go after you because (after all) you are a threat to their ability to pull in the money from their treasury. By-the-way, I am Catholic, but (like Anne) I see what's really going on.
When it comes to thinking or creativity Catholicism is about as handy as an outfit, ugly tie, and cement overshoes after suck on a bottle of vodka and joining a gang where truth is forbidden. That is what dogma will do for you. Big religion is about as handy for figuring stuff out as it was back when they decided Jesus needed to be tortured to death with bill board kind of exposure. Cmon folks; bring the stupid, join a religion believe bizarre stuff straight from authority.
@hypnofan35 There seems to be an entirely different or fear based power that goes along with entrenched power. They might teach you stuff, but only that acceptable "knowledge" is hierarchal in nature, or to rephrase: only common knowledge is real or only authoritative lying is real. This can lead to serior lock-step or goose step parade reality. Good for blabber reality not good for thinking or creative reality.
She was lying to herself before when she was a christian. And she is still lying to herself about what the bible says.
The bible is very clear about homosexuality being wrong. Also very clear about slavery being acceptable. etc. It is a primative misguided attempt at morality
She calls things that are very clear in a literal sense, "interpretations." Id respect her a lot more if she disregarded the whole thing rather than picking and choosing
@DcEatsItsYoung Leviticus? The book which gives rules on how to get and keep slaves? The book which says you are allowed to sell your daughter into slavery? The same book which informs you that wearing fabric from 2 different plants will send you to hell?
yes...that book. clearly you didnt get the point of my comment.
modern christians disregard the things you mentioned...and focus on a few lines about gays.
but her argument is that there is no basis for discrimination of gays etc. the truth is there is ample basis for that and a whole host of other barbaric things.
shes no better than the people she wants to be seperate from. they pick what they like and choose to ignore or "interpret" the rest differently.
