Anne Rice comes back to the dark side

"Liberace was gay" has finally been knocked the #1 spot of all-time celebrity "duh!" revelations, as Catholic-turned-atheist-turned-Christian-turned-whothehellknows author Anne Rice has evidently discovered that organized Christianity is - shockingly! - NOT all that welcoming to left-leaning feminists best known for sexually-explicit romance novels about bisexual vampires and BDSM-reworkings of fairytales. Wicked shock'a, as we say here in Boston.

Says Rice on her Facebook:
"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-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."

All of which places me in the unusual (for me) position of genuinely enjoying something written by Anne Rice ;)
