Anne Rice is the well-known author of The Vampire Chronicles series as well as her more recent books such as Christ the Lord: Out of Egypt. Anne Rice once again became a hot topic of conversation not because of a book, but following her public and passionate renunciation of her Christianity on facebook. Here is what she had to say:
“For those who care, and I understand if you don’t: Today I quit being a Christian. I’m out. I remain committed to Christ as always but not to being “Christian” or to being part of Christianity. 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.
I spent a couple of leisurely hours at the pool, enjoying the slightly cool water and the warm day with my youngest son. The days are lessening that he will want to hang out with mom as middle school approaches next month. I ran into another mom I see infrequently and we chatted about this and that as we floated about the pool. The discussion turned to a mutual aquaintance, struggling with her boys, who happens to be a single mom like me.
