The author Anne Rice, best known for her vampire novels, made waves last week when she declared on her Facebook page that she had "quit being a Christian." Twelve years after her return to Catholicism, Rice said she still believed in God, but that, "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."

Anne Rice still makes sense to me.
Some time around 1993, I read Anne Rice's novel The Tale of the Body Thief in mass market paperback. I was about 16 I guess. Before that, I had only listened to Interview with the Vampire on cassette (yes, cassette) from our local library. After that, I read and listened to more of her work and loved reading articles about her and watching her interviews. She had some really smart things to say. Recently, I read this on the LA Times site. If this isn't a good point, then what is?
