God moves in mysterious ways indeed! After years of being viewed with suspicion over introducing a generation of children to 'magick' and all sorts of darkness, JK Rowling has become a notable and powerful critic of trans gender madness.
And now she has changed her mind about assisted suicide - which she now opposes. Furthermore, she seems to be on the road back to faith and God.
In a fascinating response to a question on X, author J.K. Rowling revealed that she is now opposed to assisted suicide — and that she feels a “God-sized vacuum” in her life.
During a debate over her views on transgender ideology, one X user demanded to know if she’d ever actually changed her mind on anything. Rather than responding with a pithy one-liner, Rowling gave a long, detailed, and surprisingly vulnerable response.
“I used to believe nurture was everything and that nature wasn’t important,” she replied. “My belief changed because of my own life experience and from reading studies about genetic inheritance. In my early twenties I believed the difference between the sexes was entirely due to socialisation. I no longer believe that (for the same reasons as above.)”
“I used to believe in unilateral nuclear disarmament. I no longer do,” she continued. “I used to believe cannabis was essentially harmless. I no longer do because I’ve witnessed it wreaking havoc on someone I care about’s mental health. I used to believe in assisted dying. I no longer do, largely because I’m married to a doctor who opened my eyes to the possibilities of coercion of sick or vulnerable people.”
But Rowling goes even further, cutting to the heart of the matter. “I’ve struggled with religious faith since my mid-teens,” the famously liberal author wrote. “I appear to have a God-shaped vacuum inside me but I never seem quite able to make up my mind what to do about it.” She continued:
I could probably list at least twenty more things I’ve changed my mind about. I don’t currently have a single belief that couldn’t be altered by clear, concrete evidence and in all but one case, I know what that evidence would have to be. The exception is the God conundrum, because I don’t know what I’d have to see to make me come down firmly on either side. I suppose that’s the meaning of faith, believing without seeing proof, and that’s why I’ll probably go to my grave with that particular personal matter unresolved.
