Anne Rice quits Christianity

[Ron Conte]

her reason for leaving Christianity? basically, that the teachings of Christianity do not agree with the teachings of secular society.

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.

Looks like the teachings of society won out in this case.

In summary, she refuses to be anti-unholy.

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.

She says that she renounces Christianity yet keeps on saying that her decisions are "in the name of Christ" as if Christ is the "supporter" of her decision; there she denounces her ignorance about Christianity.

"I refuse to be anti-gay"
Christianity is not aniti-gay, true Christianity loves the sinner but denounces and hates the sin.

"Anti-feminist"
True Christianity is actually Pro-Feminist, and teaches women to discover their true nature and vocation; what happens is that secular society wants to make it see it all the way around.

"anti-democrat"?
True Christianity does not belong to any party, Christianity is follower of the Truth, the Way and of Life, of Christ, nothing more.

"Anti artificial birth control"
Christianity is defender of life and of the precious gifts that God have given us in the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony, not of promiscuity and of selfish carnal pleasures; the high rate of divorce in our times is due in a big part to the later.

"anti-secular humanism"
Christianity has brought forth the greatest humanitarians in history, St. Francis of Asisi, St. Anthony of Padua, Mother Theresa just to name a few, that is to be a true humanitarian.

"Anti-life"
Is there any better defender of life than true Christianity?...What group have defended and defends life the most?...

She keeps on saying that what she has done is "in the name of Christ" when, in reality, she is out of Christ:

{7:21} Not all who say to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the kingdom of heaven. But whoever does the will of my Father, who is in heaven, the same shall enter into the kingdom of heaven.
{7:22} Many will say to me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and perform many powerful deeds in your name?’
{7:23} And then will I disclose to them: ‘I have never known you. Depart from me, you workers of iniquity.’

She should read the Bible and study Catholicism better because, in reality, she ignores what real Christianity stands for, not the masquerade she thinks Christianity is.

[Climacus Areopagite]

her arrogance is as bright as the sun. One cannot speak or act in the name of Christ without accepting his teachings, his worldview, all that he and his kingdom stand for.

[Pontifex]

That was short lived!

[Dan A]

What a twisted use of words.

[Jeanne D'Arc]

It looks to me like she needed to be a Protestant instead of a Catholic Christian!

[ExCelciuS]

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.

To: Anne Rice
What a weird sentence..., hmm... careful about what you've said with your whole heart (especially about what you hate or oppose), or when you hate something tremendously... sometimes what finally happen in the end is the opposite of it...

[js1975]

I would make a bet that she is speaking a little prematurely and is still very lost in her faith. Obviously she doesn't know Christ if she made that comment, so perhaps there is still hope for her to see the light.
