Vampirism

Nubilus · 05-04-2003, 06:58 AM

Well, I was under effect of the Vedran's Bloodrayne poster, so I digged a bit about Vampires in (not so) old Hacker magasines, and they wrote about creation of vampires, about Cain, and the rest of the cool vampire stuff. You know, I am a great fan of ocultism (although I'm Christian, it isn't unconnectable), so I wanted to know are there some good links, do you know something about it, or do you even like it?

[img]graemlins/firedevil.gif[/img] - btw are there any smileys which look like vampires?

One thing that I've always found wierd about vampires is that they can't be exposed to sunlight or they die right? But all light that shines from the moon is merely sunlight being reflected by the moon's surface, and all light from stars is the same kind of light as that from the sun. So why doesn't moon or starlight kill vampires?

Don't go nitpicking on us now dude, let's keep the legend alive.

The photon density and energy are too low from distant stars and moonlight [img]tongue.gif[/img]

This doesn't really hold water.

Hmmm... Hierophant = one who interprets religious mysteries.

I think that for stars, them being millions of lightyears away, they don't really light anything up, you just see them and for all we know, some of the stars could be dead and we're still seeing their light. Now with the moon, maybe the light being reflected off of the moon is one reason, but wouldn't over the millinia the vampires gain some immunity to the light of the moon?

Bruce The Aussie · 05-04-2003, 04:35 PM

the moon doesn't reflect all the radiation the sun puts out, which could be what kills them. or it could just be a plot hole that we shouldn't talk about. shh [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I've been looking at stuff on this topic recently, and I found this site....

They insist that whilst Vampires are real that they are not the whole, sleeping in the coffin, sunlight kills them thing.

Take a look at the link.
