as i said its not, there are ways of testing this and im perfectly healthy, i also do not think i depends on this (to be perfectly honest i woudl rather not drink blood) and like i said as well i do not want this, the thirst is horrible and ... hard ... its more stress on my avergae life and an extra need so like i said i highly doubt it would be that becuase that would mean some sort of want for it.
Well, I'm out of words. You're set in your belief and I am in mine. In the first place, my intention was more to explain the lack of credibility that your position has and why this tends to earn intolerance.
I wish you luck in your life. Hope you find away to do without your thirst.
Vampire means someone who drains blood or energy ( you can't live without the two of them anyway).
I don't know if those vampires ( not a human being vampire, but a vampire race) really exist, but "Nothing is Impossible".
Okay let me ask, how you know that they do not exist ?
Don't repeat me again it's against nature laws... because there is nothing like a law.
Don't judge something, without you know that exist.
People say that magic is false and it's other form of science.
Those people that say magic don't exist are afraid from it.
The Church had and has One and only one reason, and it is to demonize all gods of other religions and with this the humans to be christians which will lead the church to rule over the world.
It's simple and easy.
You know the Templar's right ?
Who are they ?
Let me write it like this. They are organization which protects the Church. But not only they do this. I won't write what is their main reason of it, but the Templar's are also known as Illuminati. They do exist to this very day and will continue to exist even after our souls have rotten.
This is maximum information that i can share with you.
I am not allowed to share more than this.
I have written more things more information all over the site on forums by many profiles.
If you collect them all you will find the answer, you will find the truth( maybe 1/5 of it, but still this is much)
Firemaster, this has all been discussed. Thank you for adding conspiracy theories to the mix however, just to really confuse things.
As for "don't judge things unless you know it exists." That is like saying something is true unless you can prove it otherwise, and is the rational primarily behind most of the arguments provided by the Church and its big 'ole conspiracy. Consider that a moment.
There's a difference between tolerance and acceptance, and I believe you're confusing the two.
You tolerate a head cold, or someone going slow in front of you in the grocery checkout aisle, or a screaming baby on an airplane, or an uncomfortable suit and tie get-up for an interview.
Acceptance can be thought of as a 'tier up' from tolerance. It's 'happy tolerance,' so to speak; not only acknowledging that they exist, but celebrating in the diversity that their situation represents.
Whether you tolerate or accept claims of vampirism, I think it behooves us all to be a little nicer to one another.
In philosophy, as most of you know, there are fallacious arguments. One of them is 'ad hominem,' or an attack of a person's character in lieu of addressing their ideas and opinions. Philosophy isn't concerned with who you are or what you do - only that you back your lifestyle choices with sound reasoning.
So, if you don't mind, I'd like to provide a few commonly-cited reasons for describing oneself as a 'vampire.' You are welcome to use and modify them as you see fit.
You could make the case that you are one of the minority in the world who can be described as a 'clinical vampire' - that is to say, you have developed a psychological obsession with the consumption of blood as it relates to replenishing one's life source. You may even take it a step further and use the term 'vampiric paraphilia,' meaning one who attaches sexual desire to the consumption of blood. (It's worth noting that clinical vampirism is not listed in the DSM-IV. Paraphilia, however, is.)
To some, this would imply you 'suffer' from a mental disorder. To others, it is a term to describe your unique personality type and not a 'disorder' as we conventionally understand them. One way or another, considering oneself a 'vampire' in any fashion is abnormal in our society. Knowing this, you should expect that even a preemptive demand to be taken seriously and respected will not quiet all dissent.
You could also make the case that blood is yet another in a long list of tools used to cast spells. Though ritual cutting and blood-letting is obscure in modern magic practice, it is not unheard of. This indicates that your desire to consume blood is not any more or less absurd than the use of athames, cauldrons, candles, herbs, and whatever else we conventionally employ in spell casting.
This seems a better fit to the argument you presented in your first post. You are not a non-human being, merely a human who appreciates blood as a magic reagent. You will still face objections to this claim, but certainly fewer than the insinuation that you are a full-blown vampire.
These are only two lines of reasoning associated with your claim. I'm sure there's more I've failed to mention.
The fact is, you can't change how people regard your opinion. You can only present your reasoning for review and hear out objections as you would have your opinion heard. The best way to do this is to speak respectfully, kindly, and objectively within your own arguments. If others do not follow suit, you can at least rest easy knowing it is they who are committing the fallacy, not you.
So, rather than becoming upset at the 'lack of respect,' why not set a trend of doing the opposite? Respect is not demanded; it is earned.
I harbor no personal ill-will toward those who claim to be vampires, mermaids, werewolves, or any other non-human entity. I merely disagree with the reasoning they've presented to support the claim.
I don't know you, and as you said, I never will. I am not an authority on your personality, nor am I in any position to criticize it. I can only go off of what I know, and what I know is that you've made a largely unverified claim about having the qualities of a non-human entity. Bolster your argument a little and I think you'll find people more willing to listen.
Well tolerance is a big thing, you are a vampirer, and i am a half blood fairy, but still a human. That is why, there is such a thing as tolerance, accepting others. "Put yourself into other people's shoe" or "treat other the way you want to be treated". I think tolarance is a huge topic. Empathy, friendship, appreciation, kind, caring all goes under tolerance. I think this subject is great. And by the way, my power is nature.
After reading the posts and having been here for a long time i can say many of us who were once part of the community now hide from public chat since when we try to teach what we have learned we are shunned or ignored.
My experance of "vampires" are people who crave attention. I have seen medical conditions and in my course in psychology have studied the craving for blood which does come from a lack of food. Some tribes drink the blood of dead animals or in older times of the tribes the captured.
Vampireism actually came about from a mutiation in humans which caused inlarged insisors which was shown in the new scientist paper and was talked about from a large range of experts. Ideas then took over and thats where hollywood got their ideas of vampires and now so the general public.
