Vampires: Satanic, Insane Murderers

Re: Vampires: Not Satanic

I think you seem a bit confused as well....

Did you read those definitions as well?
They're the closest thing in 'real-life' to a real vampire. The ones that are truly immortal (not just some pretentious twit saying they are) and so on are only in works of fiction.

Considering how humans eliminate large predators were they live it would seem unlikely that being a vampire would let you achieve immortality.

If you want real life blood drinkers in neo-medieval clothing look at the Catholic church.

Re: Vampires: Not Satanic

Just because you haven't been attacked by one doesn't mean that they're repelled by religious symbols. Plus, they don't exist except for sanguinarians and vampire lifestylers, both of those consisting of humans.

So they don't exist, but they exist, and they don't attack people wearing religious symbols, but that doesn't mean they don't attack people wearing religious symbols? Friend, if you were any less consistent, you'd be a shoe-in for the Democratic nomination in '08.

Nonsense! I have worn a cross for years and have never been attacked by a vampire.

Your logic is as shaky as your secondary chin, my dear.

Sanguinarian (taken from Sanguinarius.org) - Someone who has a physical thirst, need, craving for blood (which is non-erotic in nature) in more significant quantity than is generally required or desired by other blood-drinkers. Sanguinarians (a word from the Latin root "sanguinarius", meaning "bloodthirsty") apparently do not get the benefits from pranic energy, or else they are unable to feed psychically like psi and energy vampires, for whom blood and pranic energy are apparently interchangeable.

Vampire lifestyle (taken from Wikipedia)- The vampire lifestyle (or vampyre lifestyle) is a lifestyle, involving a number of customs and beliefs, followed (in various fashions and to different degrees) by a subculture of people who are attracted to contemporary vampire lore and who seek to emulate it. While some older occult and tribal cultures have rituals and customs similar to the modern subculture, the vampire subculture itself is largely a social creation within Western culture, seemingly drawing from the rich recent history of popular culture related to cult symbolism, horror films, the fiction of Anne Rice, and the styles of Victorian England.

If vampires were truly frightened of the Cross, for example, it would be enough to bury them under one an leave it at that. So it is not religious symbols that control vampires.

Re: Vampires: Not Satanic

I didn't say they were all 'good guys', simply that they, both fictional and 'real-life equivalents' (see my statement above) aren't Satanic.

Their "real-life equivalents" are hideously deluded, demon-addled nutcases. Where does their confusion come from? From Satan, that's where.

First of all Missy, you are telling us that Vampires are warm and cuddly and try to explain there is nothing Satanic about them.
THEN you tell us that they don't exist.
Make up your mind.

It be a female? I never woulda guessed!

You need to take yo lies elsewhere. You outcho mind if you think you gonna be comin' in here and actually foolin' True Christian™ folk with yo pro-goth, pro-vampire, pro-Satan ignance. It be a FACT that vampires is Satanic. Exhibit A Exhibit B

Re: Vampires: Not Satanic

I stated at the bottom of my post, 'real' vampires don't exist, lifestylers and sanguinarians do.

I didn't say they were all 'good guys', simply that they, both fictional and 'real-life equivalents' (see my statement above) aren't Satanic.

Oh right!!!
That's all explained clearly and all our beliefs go out of the window because some Heathen tells us!

Typical addle-Brained Gothard.

At least the Bible is factual and contains absolutely no inconsistencies!

I just noticed a while ago that you not only listed goths and vampires under the same group, but listed vampires as Satan worshippers.

For starters, not every goth likes vampires and there are also plenty of people that are fans of vampire novels and films but do not classify themselves as 'gothic', such as two of my very good friends, for example.

Onto the Satanic part, what makes you think that vampires are in anyway Satanic? Quoting Chelsea Quinn Yarbro's notes in her vampire book 'Hotel Transylvania' she states that "In European countries there has been a great tendency to attribute heretical and Satanic characteristics to vampires, but this is an inconsistent attitude. If vampires were truly frightened of the Cross, for example, it would be enough to bury them under one an leave it at that. So it is not religious symbols that control vampires. Not are they Satanic. There is no element of devil-worship in their behaviour. And it is only in Christian countries that it is believed that being a sorceror in life contributes to vampirism after death."

Just clearing up a few misconceptions.
(P.S. For those twits that believe true vampires are real, they are simply delightful works of fiction. We would probably know by now if they existed. The closest real thing to them are sanguinarians and vampire lifestylers.)
