Hoo boy, they’re pissed! Last week Anne Rice said she’s done with being a Christian and Christian culture is indignant. But in her statement it seems to be an issue of semantics. She’s actually claiming Christ and rejecting Christian culture, but Christian culture has chosen to get their dander up. They don’t seem interested in her personal experience behind the statement and have decided to take issue. The natural progression here is that they feel they must internet-rebuke her (the technological rebuke: the rebuke of the future!) and love-her-but-not-her-sin and all those things Christian culture gets off on. So here it is again, the marrow of Christian culture: Doing things and avoiding relationship. Hmm, I wonder why she would want to renounce all this. Anne, can I come with you? I’ll bring salted caramels.
