the question is what Christ is she following??? Is it
the Christ of the bible our the more socialist/humanist Christ of the christian
left??
<<said
Wednesday that she refuses to be “anti-gay,” “anti-feminist," “anti-science” and
“anti-Democrat.”>>
sounds to me like she is trying to make God in her image
not the other way around. the fact it was catholicism that she went to is also
troubling given its history in distorting the truth and allowing non
christian practices into the church.
<<to an optimistic believer in a universe created and
sustained by a loving God is crucial to me,>>
this seems to also limit God. the "optimism" and "loving
God" would most likely preclude any judgment or punishment. more along the
"God is love(and nothing else)" believe system.
she should be prayed for though.

"Re: Anne
Rice"
Before stoning the woman, please consider
CAREFULLY what she wrote:
Rice wrote, “For those who care, and I understand if you don't: Today
I quit being a Christian ... 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.”
Rice then added another post explaining her decision on
Thursday:
“My faith in Christ is central to my
life. My conversion from a pessimistic
atheist lost in a world I didn't understand, to an optimistic believer in a
universe created and sustained by a loving God is crucial to me," Rice
wrote. "But following Christ does not mean following His followers.
Christ is infinitely more important than Christianity and always will
be, no matter what Christianity is, has been or might become.”
