With all its faults, even Anne Rice would have to admit that the church is what brought her to knowledge of Jesus as lord. It is very hard to seperate christianity from the church as horribly flawed as it is. We say that we cannot be part of the church as it retains the flaws of the humanity that Christ came to save. But who else will be there to teach people about Jesus? There are churches who have liberal theologies why not be part of a church that supports gay marriage, Episcopal Church.
More money in Writing about vampires....Something's got you..some would say you are possessed to go against certain things... they're also no mention of woman's right to vote in the bible either......good luck...
There is a big difference between Organized Religion and believing in God. She is lewaving organized religion not her faith in Christ. There is a difference. We must fir remeber that Jesus taught us to love one another even our enemies which is very hard to do. She should not give uo her faith WHICH I DO NOT THINK SHE'S DOING. But she is right to leave organizations claiming to follow Jesus and yet, preaching Hate.
I can find it... It's in Epistles mostly... I just disagree with it... The Bible does say horrid things about many many people... It does allow genocide and slavery and racial discrimination; and it does say it is against Christ to protest against government, to be gay, to question dogma... Epistles and Romans shows this... I appreciate what Anne Rice says, but to say that the bible or scripture doesn't support this is wrong, it does... It's just that scripture is wrong...
Listen to her carefully. When she states, "What is the authentic message of Christ for us? He (Jesus) put us here 2,000 since past since He died on Golgatha since He rose from the dead..." Essentially she's walking away from the complex religious interpretations of Christianity, but she has not walked away from her personal spirituality & relationship with Christ. She doesn't want to be associated with Churches that kicks out Homosexuals from their congregation.
i can relate to her. after 13 yrs of southern baptist & countless prayers for help, guidance. not one thing was revealed to me or prayers answered. awhile i was feared into morality & tithing. i had morals long before church and now after leaving, i feel so much better.
Thank GOD she is seeing the truth. Religion should not be put on a pedestal. It's flawed and is as guilty as the next thing. It makes people (at least subconsciously) judge others, people can take certain biblical events literally, people get selective about what is 'right/wrong', against condoms, etc.
The right wing Christians are welcoming the end of the world...and in some instances, assisting in it's arrival. Festering hatred, failure to protect the environment, global financial destruction and all-out war. They'll destroy us all and then point to God as the reason.
The title should read "Anne Rice Quits ORGANIZED Christianity." She's still very much a Christian and maybe moreso than most since she is trying to follow the teachings of scripture rather than myriad layers of human interpretation based on them.
christianity is love and compassion. it bears NO resemblance to the hypocritical, bigoted, greed-obsessed, power-hungry farce we see today. it's a swindle. i applaud ms. rice

Religion is a psychopathological disease based on the delusion of there being gods that the figments of the imagination of humanity.
