Considering how little the average American reads, Anne Rice’s opinion is not likely to affect many votes.
She seems to have good intentions, and to be sincere about her conversion to Christianity, as she understands it. That counts for something, somehow.
Those people have a disproportionate influence on politics and public policy, especially as they grow older.
Absolutely no doubt that her conversion from a sort of Goth-Emo Satanism is a GOOD thing . . . but her trumpeting of her conversion as thought it were complete is not. Nor is her confusion about the meaning of the Gospels or the Christian life, or her mixing it with politics.
We all know which road is paved with good intentions . . . .
I know nothing of Anne Rice, but could it be she is new to Christianity? If so, it may just take a little more time before she is able to justly apply principle to real life. I was a Christian earlier than I was a conservative. There was a buffer period.
