Happy Easter, Anne
Anne Rice writes for The Washington Post's "On Faith." Now, I am sure that her faith is sincere and I am moved by her declaration. Unfortunately she is unable to avoid hypocrisy and self-contradiction in the essay, God love her. It's more fun to spot it yourself so I won't spoil the fun for you.

But the real fun is in the over 400 comments that follow, from religious solidarity to "This is what happens when you spend your entire life writing about imaginary fantasy characters...you eventually start to believe one is real. At least you're not worshipping vampires..."

[Just a reminder to newcomers: we aren't here to CONDUCT a religious wank, but to mock and point at those who are. Pardon my lecture.]

And that trust is what under girds my faith to this day.

For some reason, this makes me think of Mormon Underwear.

In the end I didn’t find the skeptics particularly convincing, while at the same time the power of the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John swept me off my feet.

I too am a huge fan of Bible fanfic. I'm partial to Luke and John though...Matthew's fics had too many chicks.

I saw, in one enduring moment, that the God who could make the Double Helix and the snow flake, the God who could make the Black holes in space, and the lilies of the field, could do absolutely anything and must know everything --- even why good people suffer, why genocide and war plague our planet, and why Christians have lost, in America and in other lands, so much credibility as people who know how to love.

The Random Capitalization! Good lord, Anne, Double Helix isn't a proper noun unless it's the name of a bizarre nerd pub.

"The scandal of the cross"? You know, even as a non-Christian I think that's not quite the word I'd choose to describe nailing someone to planks of wood and hoisting them up in the air to hang until they die (usually of asphyxiation).

I'm thinking scandal is a little...tame for that.

It warms my cynical, atheist heart that the Washington Post chose Anne Rice, of all god-fearing people, for their good Friday column. Huge holiday for Christians, and they give it to that pile of batshit.

nice that she find a moment to include [Read an excerpt of her latest book, "Christ the Lord: The Road to Cana."] at the bottom. Maybe the editor did that. I hope so. Otherwise, she's using God to sell books.

"Yes! The Religion Of Everything is Born In USA, not Tibet, Armistar, Jerusalem, Mecca etc."

O_O

But this is pure comedy gold:

"I love my baby Jesus white man with blue eyes and a blond beard who loves me and cares for me and promises me that when I die I will get angel wings and float around in heaven and be happy and get lots of free candy and stuff. Jesus is a nice white man who loves you. He is. He really really is. Thank for you loving me and storing up lots of candy and rides and stuff in Heaven for when I get my halo and wings and white gown when I die. Can't wait. it's gonna be so much fun! Love.

You know, I would take the time to read that, but I know it's just a bucket of crazy and that I will just be scoffing, and... I mean, man. That chick writes some long-winded stuff. I guess I should expect that, anyway, though -- the only time I even attempted to read something of hers (that wasn't, you know, an amusing rant on why her fans suck or the like) I got one page in and nearly fell asleep; I couldn't even bother with the next thousand pages.
