Yes, we can all blame our friend Bram Stoker for all of that vampire seduction and glamorization...Mr. Moose said:Historical Vampires were foul smelling and ugly.
If you've ever seen Nosferatu, take note that how Orlok looks is how Vampires were described in history.
Modern vampires are bastardizations of the source material

Well done. I've been Poe'd.Monkeyman8 said:God Duh. but seriously, they're the joining of the umbilical cord to the baby so it can get food and oxygen. I was just doing my creationist impersonation to see how good I was.Graustein said:Question: Do you know where belly buttons come from?Monkeyman8 said:Yes Adam and Eve had belly buttons, if they didn't you wouldn't. the bible says god made us in his own image including Adam and Eve so if we have belly buttons they have to have had belly buttons. unless you're implying that we evolved from them or some other such scientific drivel.
question, could you tell?

Is it still necrophilia if they're undead? Isn't that like..Un-necrophilia?Delta4845 said:Why doesn't Twilight become recognized for Teenage Necrophilia?zhoomout said:Why do vampires have such well groomed hair?
I thought Necro- meant the absence of corporeal lifeAmnestic said:Is it still necrophilia if they're undead? Isn't that like..Un-necrophilia?Delta4845 said:Why doesn't Twilight become recognized for Teenage Necrophilia?zhoomout said:Why do vampires have such well groomed hair?
Ah...I don't want to get into a s***storm over this like in the "Why All The Hate on Christians" thread. Personally, my faith is perfectly compatible with science, the Bible not being taken literally, thinking for myself, agreeing with atheists on a variety of points, and yada yada. So yeah, I'm cool with the Gnostic Gospels but some people get really upset by them.Omnidum said:So he's a Psionicist that's Grand Archmaster rank in both hammer and chisel?
And people wander why I love the guy. The bible makes him out to be kind of boring in the 'holier than thou' sense it was written in, when he had a sense of humor and problems other than Jews and Romans wanting to kill him.L.B.

Basically, they're a series of texts about how Jesus learned to deal with being a supreme being that were banned by bonkers Christians. Contrary to the Bible, which deals with his life after his time in the desert, the Gnostic texts are about him learning to deal with his divine powers responsibly. To this belief, Christ did not become the savior until he renounced his humanity in the desert. Before that time he was just as flawed and bizarre as the rest of us, but with super powers.
For example, at one point a teacher is yelling at Jesus because he refuses to study Latin. When Jesus recites the entire Latin alphabet and starts speaking in tongues back at him, the teacher whips him for being impudent. Jesus then, uh, blows his head up with his mind. The subsequent teacher is then promptly informed to just let Jesus doodle and not bug him. Another example is when Jesus brings a dead bird back to life and then kills it again a couple of time. The Water to Wine thing is one of the few examples where the New Testament actually talks about what a crazy bastard he was before his spiritual acceptance of using his powers for good.
So yeah, he just sorta did whatever he wanted. Sorry, rambling over.
I don't know, I'm more of a follower of Biff [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamb:_The_Gospel_According_to_Biff,_Christ%27s_Childhood_Pal] then anyone else's version of the big J's life, if only for the whole "blessed are the dumbfucks" and the story as to what rabbits have to do with Easter.L.B.
