In the Tale of the Body Theif by Anne Rice, one of the Main characters, David Talbot discuses a theory that has been discussed several times. The Beggining of the world.
Rice says in the voice of Talbot,
"I think the answer might be in Genesis,"he said finally,"I really do."
"David, you amaze me. Talk about missing pieces. Genesis is a bunch of fragments."
"Yes, but telling fragments remain to us, Lestat. God created man in his own image and likeness. I suspect that that is the key. Nobody knows what what it really means you know. Hebrews didn't think god was a man."
"And how can it be the key?"
God is a creative force, Lestat. And so are we. He told Adam, 'Increase and multiply.' That's what the first organic cells did, Lestat, increased and multiplied. Not merely changed shapes but replicated themselves. God is a creative force. He made the whole universe out of Himself through cell division. That's why the Devils are so full of envy---the bad angels, I mean. They are not creative creatures; they have no bodies, no cells, they're spirit. And i suspect it wasn't envy so much as a form of suspicion--that god was making a mistake in making another engine of creativity in Adam, so like Himself. I mean the angels probably felt the physical universe was bad enough, with all the replicating cells, but thinking, talking beings who could increase and multiply? They were probably outraged by the whole experiment. That was their sin"
"So you're saying God isn't a pure spirit."
"That's right. God has a body. Always did. The secret of cell-dividing life lies within God. And all living cells have a tiny part of God's spirit in them, Lestat, that's the missing piece as to what makes life happen in the first place, what separates it from non-life....(I'll skip a bit here)
God is the fire, and we are all tiny flames; and when we die, those tiny flames go back into the fire of God. But the important thing is to realize that God Himself is body and soul! Absolutely....
I'll tell you what the big bang was, Lestat. it was when the cells of God began to divide."

So in summation, God is comprised of an infinite number of cells, some of which reside in each of us. These cells perpetuate life, and our "creativity" or our ability to think for ourselves, divine new ideas, etc.
Now I ask, what if when a vampire feeds, such as I, or any other that perpetuates this site, we are actually taking small amounts of this lifeforce, so that ours builds greater.
What if our powers are from having more God in us than a normal human?
My evidence to this is just. I have seen humans that I regularly fed from, or took large amounts of energy out of, seem to become taciturn, and angry, lazy and dull. Like all good is gone from them, all drive. Perhaps, when we feed, we feed off of their very souls. but also, vice versa, those who I give energy seem to almost get high off of it. They become aloof, energetic, have creative spurs.
So, if this theory is true, does that make us damned, or do we go to Heaven, since so much of us is Godly? If it is true, would you cease to feed? Or feed more often? How would this effect you if it does? What are your thoughts?
