Vampires

Recently I was at the library, reading the backs of books to find something to check out, and I noticed a theme that's become almost obsessive. Vampires. Now, I know they're not a new concept, as Bram Stoker's Dracula, which has obtained classic status, attests to. But vampire Nazis, vampire shopaholics, vampire computer geeks--give me a break.
Stephenie Meyer's Twilight set off this mess, she, inspired by Harry Potter and the subsequent revival of interest in all breeds of fantasy. I think people ache for fantasy and the supernatural because science is so very unsatisfying, and we intuitively recognize that there is that which is true that simply cannot be explained scientifically.
But why vampires? Maybe these human predators as the next thing up on the food chain fascinate us with the idea of rising up to a higher level or taking on something more powerful than us, that wants to destroy us. Maybe we think they might sympathize w/ us just as we sympathize w/ our food, like poor Bambi's mom.
Vampires have no soul but live forever. How alluring the idea of gaining eternity without God. Evolutionists could have their cake and eat it too, if they could evolve into something that would never die. But how interesting that the fiction that does so preys on us.
Sadistic or masochistic, whichever it is, at the core it's back to the fact that we cannot accept the idea that we're all that is, that there's none with more power, none with endless life. We can't accept this idea because it's untrue, though vampires are not true either. What is true is that God is bigger than us, He made us, and doesn't prey upon us, but offers us eternal life which His Son paid for, and offers freely to us, when we trust in Him.
