Oh bull sh*te...what Christian church DOES NOT teach abstinence! HAHAHHAHAHAHHA, you guys just crack me UP! Why do people hunt for boogie bears under every bed? OOOoooo...ooooo...we must be frightened because the Mormons teach abstinence before marriage! Ooooo...Oooooo, those scawey Mormons teach that man should overcome their natural manly passions and only have sex with their wife...and they condemn homosexuality because man should overcome those passions too....WOW, now I’m wreally wreally scared of those Mormans...and garsh they teach that man will become more godlike and become immortal...now that’s just TOO TOO SCAWEY!

C’mon people!!!

The girlchild in the book chose to become a vampire because she supposedly loved him enough that she did not want him to live an eternity of sadness without her. That is not religious dogma...that is romantic fiction. The fiction of vampire history has ALWAYS had vampires as immortal wayyyyy before the religion of Mormon even existed. And we as Christians KNOW that marriage is not recognized in the hereafter of God’s kingdom because Jesus said so. You either believe it, or you don’t. Mormons don’t. That’s their bag and not for us to judge or point fingers at. We are but humans who differ.
