The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

who is to say what is real and what is fictional?
modern christians say that lilith is nothing more than a myth.
yet modern muslims believe christ was just a great teacher.
the majority of religous beliefs say that dinasours were only around a few thousand years ago.
vampirism is almost a religion to alot of people.
all im saying is that emortality is a forgotten dream, but belief and faith is forever.

hmmm
reality tends to be sublective in the sense you are talking about....
these things are more opinion than fact
as historical "fact" is a hard thing to prove.....
there are many facts which have been later proven false...

Well I agree with you, but I dont think that we can assume something what someone said to be true...Its just like that- there are so many opinions on so many things and aspects of life, that sometimes its really hard to say whats the truth and reality.

The difference between fiction and reality in most of the things you mentioned, and in a lot of other things, is faith.

the true question, i think, i just, do u believe what is generally said, to forge good and evil, heaven and hell, and fictive people ? or do u believe in u, in ur own belief? the fact that it's said that Lilith didn't exist is like the fact that Adam lived 800 years. u should believe what u think be the best belief for u...

truth and reality are subjectives, what is objective is FACTS....
anyway, often facts come from memories which r also totaly subjective....
if your question is:"are religions stories historical facts?"
i think few r based on facts but , when written in the bible, things were changed by the writers...
i'm not saying they wasn't saying the truth, they just write down their beliefs, but their mind was cloud imho by faith...

ToiletDuc.. wow.. you said it.
*applause*

Well, one of the most interesting things abut life is that things aren't as clear cut as the human mind would like.

People in history give themselves the right to 'edit' the past. Unfortunately thats in our nature too, so I doubt we shall ever knwo whats true, and we are learning things all the time. Last eyar we discovered that mankind is 80 million years older than we thought....

that thing u say sounds strange...
human kind 80millions year older than we thought?
u think humanity could have lived after the meteor that killed dinosaurs 63millions ago????

I don't have really any faith, so i don't know the difference between reality and fiction in my mind.

I think that no matter what goes on, you always have abit of faith in something that means alot to you. And if you have faith in it, then it is reality to you. But to others it is fiction. It depends on the person.

A bit like the thread i started. The reality ones just go round in circles.

I think that fiction is reality it's just not yet proven.

interesting...I say the same of magic...A science that has not yet been codified
and I'll agree with mr. math guy OB1 on this topic

Ob1 you took the words right out of my mouth or is that from my fingers ...erm...lol

OB1, I dont think it, the SCIENTISTS think it. Doesn't mean I necessarily support the theory...

(looks at everyone from atop a podium)
Ladies and Gentlemen:
The Earth is flat.

Everything comes down to science.

hmm..........

its all a leap of faith

there is no point in believeing anything anyone tells you anyways you dont know really know anyone good enough to believe them

it is possible humans servived the meteor that killed off the dionosaurs (but the meteor wasn't the killing blow) because most were too big to find shelter and enough food dureing the years after that strike, hence we still have their smaller ralitives (crocodles/alligators ect..) and a variety of birds mamals animals and fish, a great many plants were killed off as well, but more servived everything adapted and changed due to it..

what i meant: we can't be sure it did happen, but we can't be sure it didn't happen...
it's just a matter of faith...
but think for yourself...
don't trust blindly anything anyone says!!!

this question makes me think......for once in 19 years

thinking is the 1st step to intelligence...

Cockroaches. Don't forget the cockroaches, CrazyWolf. They say in a nuclear disaster, they are the one life form that will survive, guauranteed.

But I agree. You could research to find out the answers. But even the research could be skewed, being written by humans. The only true way to find out is to invent a time machine and travel back and witness events for yourself. But, technology being how it is, that is not very plausable at the moment.

To me its just a question to what you believe. You do or you don't. Nothing has really been proven, just faith and knowing what you believe in.

Well Ob1, i could answer that for you in detail but question is, could you handle it? lol the answer from what i know, is yes they went somewhere when that happened to the dinos/dragons. Scientists THINK it was a meteor. lol

it just depends on whose version you're reading. just learn what you can, then make up your own mind about reality. i believe all things exist on some plane of reality.

Everyone has their own opinions on what is real and what is not. We just have to learn to put up with it. If we don't learn to ignore what other people say about certain things you believe in then what's left?
