Sure you would, it'd be awesome! Provided it didn't actually kill you of course. But maybe you could cut it a deal, fresh blood for a year or something if it promises to turn you at the end.

Is it not that vampires drink the blood of a human because they need it ( substance that is within blood)? they can't produce enough plasma for themselfs to survive and so they seek an other source to add the missing plasma. (we are that source)

True..?

sure, that's one small factor of the larger definition, yes.

BUT Bram Stoke's Dracula is a legend and not true, ageed? How come there can be no alternative to the creation of vampires? Therefore the God argument is not as solid as one would think. Say vampires do exist, then they would not had have been cursed by God since we can´t base facts on a story, and Dracula is not facts. Circular reasoning for those who miss the war forum.

Exactly! I´m glad we settled that.

They don´t need our blood? What do you call taking our blood to replenish their blood cells then?

Well, look at my link.

Here it is again: http://www.drinkdeeplyanddream.com

Maybe it isn't undead blood drinkers, maybe it's just people that have a wierd desire for blood.

Read that and you might get a new opinion.......

I did the last time you posted it [img]smile.gif[/img]

My very own personal opinion of it is "Schlock" just another thing for misfits to look to to try and belong. Sorry, I know it is not very understanding or empathetic or touchy feely, but it is my opinion of the whole issue. I've seen dozens of sites like this, and dozens of other types of cults and that what it is really just a cult thing for people to feel like they belong to something greater than themselves without resorting to God.

That being said, that is my view of the idea, and concept. Each individual person is entitled to his or her own opinion which does not have to agree with mine.

Vampires, IMHO, are a legend based on the existence of anemia and other blood disorders, and also an excuse for finding people in the wrong bedroom after dark. I think that young lady is seriously delusive.

Theres also the fact that in the middle ages, when you got sick, the doctors tried to bleed the sickness out of you, that might be some cause of the legends.

Also, assuming that most if not all vampires are evil, and assuming they burn if touching the holy cross, that must mean there is some god that gives the power to that relic. (though why a device used to kill christ, i don't know why.)
