Does God Hate Vampires?

I would say you can say " all" vampires - every vampire author or film maker has their own take on vampires. Some are more sympathetic and still hold on to human mores and semblance of feelings and some are just monsters. Some even in some vampire worlds are in league with Satan or evil forces ..soo

Wait, it's awfully early to be thinking so seriously ..what do you think ?
I think the new Korean Film "Thirst" is about a priest turned to vampire. It opens this weekend. HERE

[Does God Hate Vampires?] Last night I watched my favorite television show, TrueBlood. It chronicles a waitress named Sookie Stackhouse and what happens when she starts dating a one hundred plus year old vampire named Bill Compton, but what got me thinking, though, is about the opposition that they face from a church-based organization called the Fellowship of the Sun. If Sookie and Bill's relationship was a reality and this organization did exist what side would Christians be on? Would we take the extremist approach, like the Newlins and the Fellowship of the Sun, continually leading a hunt for vampires or would we be like Jesus and embrace their undead nature?

It is true that we can choose to do good or evil deeds. God gave us free will and with that comes decision making. Can't the same be said for vampires? Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer) constantly chooses right over wrong. Bill drinks synthetic blood as opposed to feeding off the living and if he does feed, it is from a willing party which he leaves alive. Of course there are vampires in his world that willingly choose to kill for sport. They are the crueler, more evil of the species and Bill chooses to isolate himself from them.

But back to my question, does God hate vampires? Here's my theory. I think that God would not hate vampires for three reasons: 1) some are turned unwillingly 2) they're like the lepers of society 3) they were God's creations first. Bill was one of the undoubtedly unwilling humans turned vampire. In fact, he just recently was forced into turning a young teenager into a vampire against her will and he knows how much she hates being dead. If so many vampires are turned against their will then why would God hate them?

I agree with your points. Just like with humans, there are many who choose to violate others, yet they have rights. Why would Vampires or other creatures be any different? There will always be organizations that fear/denigrate certain individuals or groups, but I don't necessarily think they are following God's teachings.
