I have been thinking about what Anne Rice said about quitting Christianity, and i wondered have i ever thought this way before, and the answer is yes. I wasnt for turning away from Jesus, for me it was to rebel agaisnt Christians and who they actually are...
Here is what Anne said: 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.
She is right in what she says about us being quarrelsome and hostile. If we are truly honest, we are judgmental. We are busy judging someone for their mistakes, instead of trying to help that person with love and respect, see the error of their ways.
She goes on to say this: As I said below, I quit being a Christian. I’m out. In the name of Christ, I refuse to be anti-gay. I refuse to be anti-feminst. I refuse to be anti-artificial birth control. I refuse to be anti-Democrat. I refuse to be anti-secular humanist. I refuse to be anti-science. I refuse to be anti-life. In the name of Christ, I quit Christianity and being Christian. Amen.
We are all flawed, we are all imperfect...but are still human..full of sin...but by the grace of God we are forgiven....
But i can see way she wants to leave Christianity....but for me i want to stand by my brothers and sisters, because someone needs to pray for them and with them so they can correct themselves.
We got along road to walk before the Church is ever healed of the damages caused by us....
But with the Help of God and his Loving Word we can succeed.....but we have to want to change!!
There is so many splits within the church, and it Breaks God's Heart....
If i have one to say to Anne is this....Trust in God to change his people....
Christ does not quit on us
