Reflections on a Sunday Afternoon


BY: Gigs

I think this is the result of reading something off of LKHFIC and going to church this morning.

To believe or not to believe.
Does God exist?
I wonder why people can be so easily fascinated by monsters,
demons, angels, and such, but not care to hear about the existence of 
God.  Vampire stories that state they've seen no evidence of God, yet 
they walk through creation every night?  Why are they so repelled by 
churches or crosses that shine with faith if there is no God?  

Being a Christian myself, I am comforted that Anita struggles with 
her faith like I do.  She didn't become "perfect" just because she 
got saved.  She still gets in "a bad mood".  She still gets tempted 
by sensuality.  She still has to choose between evils because 
sometimes there IS no good to be had.  She still gets put down by the 
pharisees of her own religion because of the gifts God gave her. 
They refuse to see them as gifts of God. And yet, everytime 
she needs God, he's there.  You want proof?  It's evident every time 
her "little light shines", everytime her cross flares from her faith 
to repell creatures of the night.  Faith like a Mustard seed can move 
mountains.

Being a Christian, I am entranced to hear the confession of Louis to 
his "Interviewer."  In his "immorality", his vampiric life, there is 
no light, there is no hope, there is no peace, there is no love, 
there is no warmth.  It sounds like the very definition of hell to 
me.  Seperation from God.  God is love, and there is no love.  God is 
light, and there is no light.  God is peace, and there is no peace.  
Just an endless empty existence...

I think that worse than being afraid of monsters.
Worse than being afraid of violence.
I'd be afraid of coming up against the creatures of the night or the 
terrorists of the day and my little light wouldn't shine.  If my 
cross didn't flare to life as a shining symbol of my faith, I'd be 
terrified.
