The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

A show I watch and have watched with vampires is Buffy the vampire slayer. With the common characteristics of not being able to be in sunlight, to dying by a stake, to being cold heartless killers, this media show shows a lot of the stereotypes of vampires that people associate with when they think of vampires. A book I read often with vampires is Twilight. This is basically the anti-vampire side of vampires that everyone tends to look down upon. What with their inability to sleep, their intense speed, their “sparkliness” (the hatred of almost every vampire lover), and their changing eye color, we find a whole different view of them.



In Buffy, almost all vampires are the bad guys with only a few being able to help the vampire hunter. They are evil, no soul, careless beings that only live for blood. However in Twilight they are humans who have gained an immortality, maybe have lost their soul, and thirst for blood, but can be sated by animal blood. These differences lead to the ideals of good and bad vampires. That there can be some of each. However, what is good in a world where there is always death, be if for humans or animals?



In Twilight, instead of sleeping in coffins we find that they cannot sleep at all. Someone who cannot sleep must do a lot more thinking than one who has to sleep for sometimes up to 11 hours a day. Perhaps that is where they get their strength to not eat from humans. They can hold out because they can understand human emotions, rather than seeing what only nightwalkers see, and that is the world of the night. The world where prostitutes, drug-dealers, and pimps all look like food rather than humans.



The two worlds have things in common though as well. One: in both, vampires can die. Be it by stake or wolf fang, humans will or animal urges to be attacked, both have enemies. Two: Both have tendencies that make them less than human. Blood, fetish, gore. All things that separate the vampires from the humans. Things that make them less than even animals in many people’s views. Including enough to see wanting vampires dead no matter what.



Even by separating the two, you almost always get one thing. Vampires are part of the imagination often looked down upon because of what they are. A vampire is bad, evil, and powered by something less than human and easily looked down upon. And that is where we get when we compare and contrast this beast of legend and lore, T.V shows and books, a past and a future of fear.

Each person has a goal/task in life. Once that goal is completed, they go to heaven or hell, depending on their beliefs. If that goal takes multiple lifetimes to fulfil, then we are reincarnated. We are also reincarnated if our soulmate is still finishing their goal/task. All of our goals and tasks are to prepare the earth for it's eventual demise. And in the end, we either go to heaven or hell. I do not believe there is only one way to go to heaven, but that God is hoping none should go to hell and would give them many chances. God is very forgiving, but in the end, He would fight for His people. I do believe in the God of the Bible, however, because I can remember being reincarnated, this leads to some inconsistencies with many Christian beliefs.
