Anne Rice’s Statement Of Faith - Washington Post
Posted on 1st April 2008 by LaVrai
I came across this clipping on ChristDot and it’s only a couple of weeks old. It’s a guest article written by horror/vampire author Anne Rice concerning why she believes in what she believes. It is a very simple, yet profound statement — and I relate to much of what she says. Below is an excerpt and follow the link to read the rest…
Look: I believe in Him. It’s that simple and that complex. I believe in Jesus Christ, the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity, the God Man who came to earth, born as a tiny baby and then lived over thirty years in our midst. I believe in what we celebrate this week: the scandal of the cross and the miracle of the Resurrection. My belief is total. And I know that I cannot convince anyone of it by reason, anymore than an atheist can convince me, by reason, that there is no God.
…Right now as I write this, our nation seems to be in some sort of religious delirium. Anti-God books dominate the bestseller lists; people claim to deconstruct the Son of Man with facile historical treatments of what we know and don’t know about Jesus Christ who lived in First Century Judea. Candidates for public office have to declare their faith on television. Christians quarrel with one another publicly about the message of Christ.
