Don't gloss over her pornographic novels. Did she write them while she was an atheist or what? --Ed Poor ^Talk 15:35, 22 November 2008 (EST)

Answering that one would have been easier if you hadn't deleted the article with the various sources, but from what I recall (and without doing research from scratch), (1) her porno novels were early works and (2) her full return to Christianity was fairly recently (after most of her vampire stories which made her so famous, I would assume).

Going by very blurry memory, I think she stated that she gladly left the Vampire Chronicles behind her now and would only write Christianity-related things, but that she didn't explicitly distance herself from her earlier works (which would include the porn). I'd look it up, but without an article to put that info in, it's sort of a moot point, really. --AlanS 15:50, 22 November 2008 (EST)

Perhaps we should delete all articles about atheism and liberals, in addition to deleting the Anne Rice article content. Apparently the only thing Anne Rice did in her entire life was become an atheist.

Less sarcasm, please.--Ed Poor ^Talk 16:25, 22 November 2008 (EST)

My apologies. But seriously, adding encyclopaedic content to an article does not constitute "puffing it up". The old version seemed to me to be relatively free of bias.--JZim 16:27, 22 November 2008 (EST)

Rice's conversion appears to be a marketing move, half-hearted at best, seeking to sell novels to a wider audience while garnering attention. The last thing we should be doing is advertising her through a needlessly lengthly article, in my humble opinion. RodWeathers 16:37, 22 November 2008 (EST)
