Christ! I’m Outta Here!


Anne Rice—Gothic-Vampire-Queen-Of-The-Damned—announced this week that she has quit being a Christian. Her post on Facebook has taken wing like Nosferatu into a moonlit night sky, spreading across all forms of media and generating quite a large amount of murmur and buzz. Here’s what Rice had to say:

“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.” Read the full story
