(This fundie is talking about vampires.)
As in Bram Stoker's mythological and historical patchwork creature, or the romanticized, Hollywood Buffy/Twilight/etc. variety? No.
As in the lifeforce-draining, demonic spirit variety predominate in Slavic and other folklore? Yes. Reports of humans becoming such a creature postmortem, of which there is ample historical evidence, could also be the result of some kind of demonic possession.
Only those who don't celebrate a sin or suffer from a neurosis and make it their identity.
Just like there are no Hetero Masses or Masses for the Vain or Masses for the Greedy or Masses for the Proud, all of which would include yours truly, an LGBT Mass would make as much sense.
But, by all means, do join the Catholic Church if you're a sinner, you'll feel right at home with other sinners like me.
I believe the Illuminati symbols are on USA money.
I believe the masonic eastern star lines the streets at the white house (pentagram). (google maps 20500, go to satellite, uncheck "labels", back out halfway, enjoy the pentagram on the white house)
I believe that they operate our currency system, and are partially behind zionism.
I believe they fund both sides of wars (often) and allow people to die for profits.
I believe they are behind all of the cameras all over the streets, and will push facial recognition technology (as it exists in casinos) on these cameras.
I believe they will collapse the economy (at least in the United States if not in more areas) and will render paper currencies useless, which will bring in a one world currency.
I'm not speaking of a mason lodge here either, but the ones on top.
I do believe there is a New World Order as a president of a large country announced it on Sept, 11, 1990., it is also written on the dollar bill along with the year 1776 - the founding year of the Illuminati.
Homosexuality is the shutting off of a human biological purpose and the death of a human genetic line. As such, it is "wrong" in "scientific" terms if nothing else. It is also the thwarting of a human social purpose, peace and harmony between the human sexes which tend to find themselves opposed while loving connections between them very much work to soften that opposition and unite the sexes in human purpose. The very ancient and nearly-universal religious objection no doubt has these in mind but may make the matter personal as well, one of the heart of creature toward Creator, a heart that should be disciplined by gratitude in all areas of human life.
I could go on, but these things are really not very material, as (which I pointed out before) the situation in Germany is not one of condemning or not condemning homosexuality -- but of repurposing marriage for some reason. And, no, you haven't even attempted to answer why that should be done, what "good" it is. When an entire population and its social and legal framework is to be revised, perhaps there should be a compelling -- a very compelling -- reason. By changing the subject you're obviously hoping to move the onus.
Yes, there are examples of this from the 'Lives of the Saints.' But, do remember, that apparitions are 'tools,' not really 'presences.' A demon may manifest for his purposes, but God also make a demon manifest himself so that the person will be aware of the demon's activity. It is hard to say, and best left to the 'experts'... the great ascetics who daily battle in open warfare with Satan.
This is why the monks who take final vows wear the 'Great Schema.' It is covered with Scriptures, prayers, and symbols to fight the activities of demons.
Monks and nuns are in a constant battle. Like I said, we have our minor temptations, but we 'civilians' (myself included) have plenty of our own distractions. Those who give up the distractions of this world find themselves being distracted first by the flesh, then by the enemy.
It is a real war.
It is too bad that most of us graduate from seminary with no preparation for this battle, which is why so many priests here crash and burn. I could be next, so I would appreciate your prayers.
In high school I learned about some Indian war (I think it was Wounded Knee) which was started because some Indian chief had a vision that he saw the "messiah" who told him to dance a certain dance so that if he got everyone to do it, eventually it would bring about the resurrection of Native Americans and the burial of the White Men. Interestingly enough, the White Men saw all of these Indians doing this strange dance out of nowhere and started shooting and ended up being a massacre. Moral of the story, don't trust anything that does not come from God because it is always demonic.
I do believe that the occult can open doors, as it were. A member of my family died soon after a very freaky experience with a ouija board, and we have never forgotten.
