Her rant absolutely reeks of submission to peer and media pressure from anti-Christian liberal groups.

Most of what she says doesn't even make sense. The Catholic Church is actually far more scientifically progressive than people realize. The bulk of Christianity isn't “anti-birth control”, and there are a lot of gay-neutral or even friendly churches.

More likely than any coherent decision made due to thought or introspection, she got pissed because she got made fun of one too many times for believing and found it easier to just say f-it rather than stand up for herself. I hope she finds the strength to do that one day.

Humanity is flawed, about that there is no doubt. Christians are humans and not perfect, and we just strive to be perfect. Yet as humans we sometime try to make our 'human' wishes and desires fit the desires of Christ, and in doing so we often make pronouncments of right and wrong based upon those human desires. Try to fit our round peg into the square hole of God's absolute, if you will. (It causes us to look like hipocrits more often than not.) Sadly, sometimes the reaction for not being able to fit humanity into Christianity is to point fingers at other Christians and disavow Christ. One would do well to remember the old saw about not being able to have ones cake and eat it too. Sin is sin. Just cause we like some sins and hate others don't mean we get to pick and choose. Remember, too, we are not to judge for we are all sinners. See, Christianity is very personal. We have a personal responsibility to Christ, not to man. When in doubt about what's right or wrong for you, you need to check the rule book (the Bible), and quite worrying so much about what the other guy says.

The fact that God's Word conflicted with her own belief system tells me she was never converted to Christ. The parable of the sower of the seed is illustrated with Miss Rice. Some seed (the seed being the Word of God) fell among rock and had no root. when they hear the word, immediately receive it with gladness and they have no root in themselves, and so endure only for a time. Afterward, when tribulation or persecution arises for the word's sake, immediately they stumble.

I'm reminded of the bit in the Bible about Jesus preferring us to be hot or cold rather than lukewarm. And I'm also reminded of King David sleeping with his war buddies' wife, and then arranging a conspiracy with a general to assasinate a guy David had fought shoulder to shoulder with.

As to the seed, well, I think the seed had life, and so does the person. I knew one guy who in his testimony said…I got saved thinking about it along the railroad tracks adn thought I had to walk into church to do it, so I did, and then I walked out, and looked up to Heaven and said 'God, thank you very much, now I'll live my own life'. He then said the next five years of his life were the most miserable years he'd ever had.

As to Evolution, sure you can be a Christian and believe in Evolution. You should bear in mind that Evolution's Leaders hate Christianity, tho'. And you might want to actually check out the real science rather than the constant drip-drip brainwashing supported by loads of frauds and bad logic and gov't cheese….you might find like most of the great scientists of history that Special Creationism makes the most sense.

She can't leave something she obviously never understood in the first place. She like other “Oprah Christians” aren't true Christians, they just like playing with the term to make themselves feel better, without ever embracing what it really stands for.

Rice is an old screwball and always has been.
She is fascinated with the dark and the perverse and has NEVER been a Christian in any sense.
