Okay, that makes sense. I never thought of them in that category before.

Yes I do use instances of “evil” since anything from white lies to murder is a sin. And I really don’t know how to reconcile that with Phillipians 4:8 except for overshadowing the evil with good, not focusing strictly on the evil, and not going into gory, graphic detai…

I think the entire 14th chapter of Romans is very relevant for this discussion. I think the strongest argument against writing about vampires is the potential, if real, to cause others to stumble.

14 Now accept the one who is weak in faith, but not for the purpose of passing judgment on his opinions. 2 One person has faith that he may eat all…

What exactly do you mean by dark fantasy? You mean anything that is evil and made-up?

Also, do you ever include an instances of evil in your stories? If so, how do you justify that with Philippians 4:8? And how are we to reconcile Philippians 4:8 with instances in the Bible that deal with very dark subject matter?

Ezra, I think this is because Hannah and Sarah believe two different things.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think this is where we stand:

Hannah C:
Vampires don’t exist, but witchcraft does.
We should not write about witchcraft
Vampires are related to witchcraft
Therefore, we should not write about vampires

Yes, no, Hannah? My only questions…[Read more]

I LOVE Horatio Hornblower! Watched them many times! ^_^

Oh, and welcome to the forum! Please feel free to post your questions!

Okay, that makes more sense. I have just never considered vampires to fall into the realm of witchcraft. I can’t remember if it was you or someone else, did you say you are against reading Narnia and LotR?

@Reagan true but those things are all real. When we talk of vampires we are entering the realms of dark fantasy and I’m not sure that’s right.

Okay, so you think we should only write about things that really happened? Would you say all Fantasy and Sci-fi stories are wrong, and it is sinful to write them then?

@Reagan and @Ezra obviously some of what I said was sarcasm as I stated but I was trying to make a point. The point being if cannibalism is wrong then what is the difference between that and vampires? However, I see now that the point was kinda unnecessary. It was late when I posted that and my brain wasn’t exactly working with all its gears t…

Um, Reagan, I am not really in Camp One or Camp Two. Here is my position:
Vampires are evil.
Vampires are real.
We should not write about them as if they were nonexistent, fantasy creatures.
The Bible reference I was speaking of is Numbers 26:6,22.

I’m sorry, I misunderstood your position. So you are okay with writing about vampires, so long as…[Read more]
