I mentioned yesterday updates Anne Rice on her page on Facebook, and unfortunately, I have suggested is confirmed: it continues to be as faithful as it was in recent years, is as prey to superstition and "wishful thinking" as before, simply wants to distance himself from the ultra-conservatism (especially but not only in the U.S.) features both Christianity.
You can see that after the two updates mentioned in the previous post, the following were simply quoting the Bible .... Not exactly a sign of rationality or mental clarity ...
And it continues to be "Christian" - "follower of Christ" means exactly that. And here I agree to Hemant : What she did is equivalent to a known atheist say something like: "I was an atheist, but I do not agree with the attitudes and social and political positions of most atheists (eg, I think they are too liberal , and I am against gay rights, not because of religious reasons, but only because they make me sick and why deny them basic rights makes me feel powerful) ... soon, starting today, I am no atheist. But I still do not have any kind of belief in a god or gods. "Hmm, no. Not believing in God, then you are an atheist. That is the definition of the term. You can be an atheist irrational, homophobic, ultra-conservative ... in short, a complete moron. But it is still an atheist.
The latest (at the time of this post) update it also reveals much (emphasis mine):
My faith in Christ is central to my life. My conversion from a pessimistic atheist lost in a world I did not Understand, to an optimistic believer in a universe created and Sustained by a loving God is crucial to me. But Following Christ does not Following mean His followers. Christ is infinitely more important than Christianity and always will be, no matter what Christianity is, Has Been, or Might Become.
Here, ladies and gentlemen, we have a classic example of "wishful thinking". She believes because he wants it to be true, not because I have evidence that (probably) is. The belief it was an unhappy, the belief two makes it feel good, so this is for her more than enough reason to have the belief 2. The question of which is more likely that corresponds to the reality does not interest him. The reality of "what the hell." She believes what makes you feel good and ready - a dulling of the mind and sense of reality not much different than an alcoholic or an addict, you drink or drugs for not having to deal with "the world I didn ' t Understand. "
And for a very sophisticated religion is, however sophisticated the words of an apologist, it is not religion. There is no religion, no one is religious, without the intellectual dishonesty that is "wishful thinking".
