Well, some stars like Amanda Bynes use technology like Twitter to tell the world they are retiring. Some stars like Kelsey Grammar announce the end of his marriage. But today Anne Rice became the first pop culture figure I know that decided to break up with Christians, and she did it using facebook.
On her official website she posted the following announcement via her facebook feed this afternoon:"I quit being a Christian. I'm out. In the name of Christ, I refuse to be anti-gay. I refuse to be anti-feminist. I refuse to be anti-artificial birth control. I refuse to be anti-Democrat. I refuse to be anti-secular humanism. I refuse to be anti-science. I refuse to be anti-life.
In the name of ...Christ, I quit Christianity and being Christian Amen.
“I refuse to be anti-life.”
That makes absolutely no sense. Democrats ARE the anti-life party.
Seriesly, who is Anne Rice?
At least she’s not a hypocrite like Pilousi.
Anti-secular humanism...it's a religion, Anne, and one must have the Triune God first.
The anti-gay, anti-feminist, etc. stuff is understandable if you mean: "I don't want to be required to hate these people." You aren't. In fact, the call is to minister to them by showing the love of Christ.
If you mean:"I want to affirm what they are doing.", then you are actively telling them to continue a lifestyle that is either killing them and/or leading them down a false path.
Anti-Democrat and anti-life are contradictory. The Democratic party affirms the killing of babies. It is anti-life.
If you mean "hate democrats", then there's no call to do that.
“My name is Sue! How do you do?”
Oh, wait ...
Author of “Interview with a Vampire” and lots of other vampire and voodoo-related books centered around New Orleans.
Agree. As my pastor father-in-law says, the problem with Christianity is all the Christians.
Let’s pray for her. She needs it.
Did she play that skinny waitress at Mel’s Diner on “Alice”?
If she is leaving Christianity and or thinks it is wrong, why would she say, “In the name of Christ”?
Seems to me she is admitting she knows who and what Jesus is but is openly saying God is wrong.
She is not saying she is an unbeliever, she is saying I am against God.
Shocking prideful words to say the least.
She was raised Catholic and then abandoned it. It has only been in recent years that she went back to her roots. I’m sorry to hear her do this. She will live (or die) to regret it.
Bye.
Anne, being Anne, is en vogue. Anti-Christianity is quite chic in the American culture now, and besides Christianity is so not suitable for lovers of man more than lovers of God. Arrogance is lethal, unfortunately, and one day she will return humbled. We have to pray for the lost and loosing, hard as it is, sometimes even with clinched teeth.
;D
I agree..Amen!
Just another useful idiot for Hillary, this time weaving a calculated middle-of-the-road, centrist-leaning religious progressive businesswoman meme to subtly undermine confidence in Democrat sub-group affiliation to protect against any Christian association that might undermine collectivist loyalty.
You know, smartest-woman-in-the-world stuff. Elite programming adjustments are not for the little people to worry about. Move along, nothing to see here.
I thought that her son died in his youth.
Snicker...Is this a vampire joke?
