Truthfully, there's a huge part of me that understands this. I read on and realized you weren't abandoning Christ but rather the concept of Christianity. I understand that faith can be fluid, I do. The other day my google reader was full of posts about your decision to "quit Christianity" I have to admit my heart sank. I do have your memoir sitting in my towering pile of books waiting to be read though, and have watched with interest as you continue to write interesting books. He is the one figure I can't read historical fiction about. I was quickly assured you'd come to a place of faith or restored faith and the book wasn't meant to mock Jesus but I've never been able to read it. A few years ago I heard you'd written a book from the first perspective of Christ and the idea freaked me out a little to be honest. I moved on to other reading material and other interests. I also grew up in a fairly conservative evangelical Christian home and while my parents weren't thrilled about my fascination with vampires they tolerated it. When I had to write a character study for a creative writing class I chose Louis from your Interview with a Vampire book. Those books were well loved, beat up around the edges. I thought you were so cool, because I loved your vampires and even guiltily read your series about witches. When I was young, like early high school young, I had a picture of you up in my room.
