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've made the thread title slightly less inflammatory. As always, keep the discussion civil.
Are you sure she didn't mean "refudiate"?
In the name of English, I refudiate silly words.
Does this mean she'll go back to writing about vampires? ;-)
I think the crucifixes and holy water just finally drove her out.

ROFLMAO. :D
Much as I like hearing that someone has stopped being a faithhead, her reasoning sounds flawed. Better to quit because it is a ridiculous farce than because fundamentalists are loathsome.
The next time you get a thought Taliesen....let it go.
Cousin Sock? Is that you?

Yes, it's totally bland now. Thank you, Ross.

Wait, so there are no Democrat christians? Or are they all just self-haters? I'm confused.
Sounds like she broke up with the Catholic Church rather than Christianity.

Or vice-versa. SO hey, if it's good enough for Nietzsche, it's good enough for me.

Don't forget to click your ruby slippers, Dorothy.

I seem to recall that in her novel Memnoch the Devil, she wrote about a certain run down building on St. Charles. Later, when Al Copeland purchased the building to renovate it and turn it into a hotel/restaurant, Rice took out a full page add in the paper criticizing the development and calling the building ugly, etc. That's when I stopped reading her books.
Huh. Weird. Didn't know she was all into Christianity.

I stopped reading after Memnoch the Devil as well. But mainly because it seemed she was just riding her cash cow, the quality wasn't there anymore.

I did get to go to one of her big public Halloween parties one year though. That was cool. It was held in a hotel I had worked at, and some friends got me a ticket. I went dressed as a priest. People kept wanting to get their picture taken with me blessing them.

Became an outspoken atheist at 18
child died
started writing to work out her issues with the loss
made lots of money at it
other stuff happens, it usually does
Comes back to her Catholic roots
devotes her next several books to "Lord Jesus Christ"
they suck
kicks and screams that the church won't become liberal shortly thereafter
husband dies
moves from New Orleans
Distances herself from Christianity
Now I hope she just tries for a cash cow by writing some good books, to cope with it all.
I'd assume she was doing this to get talked about a bit /before/ announcing the next book. (Hey, what can I say, I'm a cynical guy.)
