Are christians a Vampire Cult?

[Thermo]

Every time Christians go to Mass they eat and drink the body and blood of Jesus. The God they worship has demanded sacrifices for the sins of mankind. Could Christians be considered a vampire cult?

[MacGuffin]

Don't post while drunk if you can't handle it!

Or at least put this in the pub forum.

[Eileen]

hahaha, no, we're a zombie cult. well, maybe vampires too.

You forgot that their reward is everlasting life.

[MacGuffin]

Eternal life!

["InsertNameHere"]

that's exactly what the jews thought in the beginning...

[Miss Anthropic]

Going for a change of image Thermo?

[Shai Gar]

they cannot be zombies, they dont want people with brains

I'm looking forward to the moment when different denominations of Christians turn against themselves and other religions instead of heathens...
Christianity vs. Islam is burning nicely
Anglican vs. Catholic is rollicking along in N. Ireland
Sunni vs. Shi-ite is a beautiful mess
We won't go near Yugoslavia...
Hopefully the aggressive, antagonistic religious zealots will all wipe each other out and we will only be left with intelligent, open-minded religious people like Eileen.
It's evolution baby!
Looking forward to the day....

[Pedro_The_Lion]

Well not all believe it is the body and blood of Christ but a representation yada yada I'm done.

The future just can't come soon enough, now to avoid the crossfire.

oh Thermo, do you remember what I said in the Bitching Parlor about you and strange threads?

[n0mad]

We won't go near Yugoslavia...
I'm from there... :) And, btw, Yugoslavia doesn't exist anymore.
Religious antagonism isn't that strong here... :whistle: We just murder each other for ethnic purification.

[Shai Gar]

ETHNIC PURIFICATION ROCKS.

lets wipe out the arayans

I meant that nebulous region where everyone's surname ends in "ic" and people from neighbouring countries hate each other. Really, really hate each other.

Maybe in your case the racist zealots will wipe each other out.

No, really, I am from there.
And, my surname is Peric. I'll spell it 'Perich', so you can get the pronounciation right. :)

[Serotonin]

No no i don't doubt you, and you can call yourself Peric or whatever, I'm just glad that I don't live in that part of the world and happy for you that you've survived it.

[n0mad]

Look, it wasn't THAT bad. lol Your american media (or wherever you live) have probably made a big media pomp out of it. Of course, it wasn't picnic either. :)

[Serotonin]

The Australian media made a big deal of it. I remember we temporarily housed about 400 Kosovars who came 1/2way across the globe in 1999. Some wouldn't get off the bus into the accomodation, and then when it was time to go home a few refused to leave and escaped before they were caught and put on a plane.

Compassion can be a frustrating exercise sometimes.

So can war. :)
Unless you watch the bright side of it. For example, you can get marijuana on every corner, I can make plastic explosive just from the groceries etc. Fun stuph...

[Thermo]

Finally, I am not taken 100% serious! :)

[Thermo]

Yeah there is another vampire connection....spooky.

[Thermo]

oh Thermo, do you remember what I said in the Bitching Parlor about you and strange threads?
haha I see your point. Its a shame it derailed so quickly.

[Johnny]

Could Christians be considered a vampire cult?No, but this is part of the vampire myth - deception.

At the core, what distinguishes vampires from Christians is that vampires live for themselves, for their own personal desires...where Christians live to carry the cross, to live for God (doesn't matter which one you want to imagine that believe in).

As far as Christianity vs. Islam is concerned, all you have to do is follow the money, and then you'll get a better idea what the US involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan is really about, who the players really are, and who is on which side of the battlefield.

Anglican vs. Catholic is rollicking along in N. Ireland

:banghead::banghead::banghead:

The protties in that province are not members of the Church of England. Or very few of them, and none in the gangs. Even the Archbishop of Canterbury has come out against knee-capping as an Anglican tool of faith.

They are mainly presbyterians ( Calvinists ); some congregationalists or baptists; and some of the odder Yankee sects from the bible belt of the USA.

In other words: they are the people who fought against the Stuarts on religious grounds, and on the grounds of freedom and liberty. In order to heve the freedom and liberty to treat your neighbours exactly as you wish with explosives, firearms, drug-dealing and extortion.

None of them are quakers either...

SLAVIC VAMPIRES:

The Slavic people including most east Europeans from Russia to Bulgaria, Serbia to Poland, have the richest vampire folklore and legends in the world. The Slavs came from north of the Black Sea and were closely associated with the Iranians. Prior to 8th century AD they migrated north and west to where they are now.
Christianization began almost as soon as they arrived in their new homelands. But through the 9th and 10th centuries the Eastern Orthodox Church and the western Roman Church were struggling with each other for supremacy. They formally broke in 1054 AD, with the Bulgarians, Russians, and Serbians staying Orthodox, while the Poles, Czechs, and Croatians went Roman. This split caused a big difference in the development of vampire lore - the Roman church believed incorrupt bodies were saints, while the Orthodox church believed they were vampires.

The origin of Slavic vampire myths developed during 9th C as a result of conflict between pre-Christian paganism and Christianity. Christianity won out with the vampires and other pagan beliefs surviving in folklore.

Peter: Woah! Is that really the blood of Christ?
Priest: Yes.
Peter: Man, that guy must have been wasted 24 hours a day, huh?

[n0mad]

U won't believe it, but i've watched that episode just now!!!

[YardGnome]

It's the wrong thread for this and way off topic but that is a GREAT show...

[Johnny]

http://www.chebucto.ns.ca/~vampire/vhist.htmlYes I agree that we can offer an understanding of vampires that is entirely sociopolitical, but such an assessment leaves the question of vampires-as-villains unanswered.

[Claverhouse]

Vampires are just misunderstood.

In re above post, I'd better say that members of the Anglican communion in Ireland belonged to the Church of Ireland, a wholly-owned subsidary of the Church of England. It's now very unimportant in Ireland, since the papist fenian bastards won out, but during the 18th century it was dominant because as the Established Church you had to belong to it in order to get office and power. Also for the chance to join in persecuting both catholics and presbyterians alike. The RC's thanks to people like the Great Liberator Daniel O'Connell, fiercely loyal to the ( imitation ) British Crown, eventually were given back their political rights and offices.

Except in Ulster where the prots ( Scots-Irish in American ), cromwellian presbyterian treasonous bastards, were paramount and found ways to dominate the catholic minority.

It's very difficult to take any heavily religious people seriously. The Provisional IRA ( break-away from the communist Official IRA who were very close with the nazis ) was very Sacred Heart/Mary Mother of God inspired, bombing and shooting, before the new style of Gerry Adams & Martin MacGuinness ( morose whining and Crimelord Style ) took over. The Billy-Boy prot gangs were even more unpleasant and were strongly in favour of the Pope being overthrown and torturing both each other and randomly picked catholics in their dens, whilst singing from the psalms on Sunday.

I once saw an old Private Eye ( satirical magazine ) cover with Wilson, the puzzled prime minister of the 1960s mulling over what to do with the A-Bomb of the time, selecting Ulster as a testing-ground.
