Are Vampires Real?

[HeIsRisen2018]

I was just wondering because I was watching Dracula last night in preparation for Halloween and that thought occurred to me. Obviously there's no such thing as the undead. You're either physically dead or you're not, and nobody can turn into a bat, but I do that there are such things as cannibals,.. and although I can't understand why somebody would want to, do some people really suck the blood out of other people?

People exist who like to drink blood, and they call themselves vampires. They don't suck the blood out though, they get blood from tested donors, who if I remember right are paid for their trouble

By the way, now that I can concentrate more now,.. I know that witches are unfortunately real and I'm not talking about Halloween/Harry Potter kind of witches either. *sigh* If only those kind of witches and wizards were real but seeing as the real kind of witches are Satanic and forbidden, there is probably a very good reason that God didn't give us magical powers.

Any practice of evil is real and should never be fooled with even if for fun as that is how one gets sucked into such practices as curiosity gets the best of them. Anything is real to one who partakes of such actions.

There is a subculture/ counterculture of people that call themselves vampires. I don’t know if it’s as big as it used to be, but they are nothing like the vampires of fiction.

If they try to impose fear, the Christian should be immune.

I only know about ex wives and emotional vampires...

Don't be laughing...they are truly creatures that one should be very afraid of.

We Christians are vampire's & cannibals, because we drink Jesus blood & eat his flesh every sunday.

Mad religion eh?

Some people believe that vampires exist because of ignorance of scripture and the superstitious nature of people. There are some people in Eastern Europe such as Romania who believed they existed. If they suspected someone of being a vampire, they desecrated the grave with such things as cutting off the head or putting a brick in the mouth. They didn't want those dead people to rise as vampires. If someone died of a disease that made them look anemic ("undead"), they were suspect, because certain diseases were uncommon and unknown. Today's American vampire culture is a caricature of the superstition.

Most burial rites were primarily about keeping people in their graves.
