I'am on my way out the door at work but I had to grab in on this discussion. The reason that the movie dracula & the book are so very different is that there's a secondary source altogether that people miss. Thats the play Dracula which actually starred Bela right before the movies came out. The play is pretty interesting compared with the movie infact. Sexuality of the play is still very low key by comparison to today's fair. The evolution of the vampire happened over a long period of time infact. Hats off to Psiren who knows more about vampires then me. :D
Don't get me started on religion. The short version is this. Faith is a powerful personal belief tool & should be respected. Religion in general is a way of controlling the masses. However with that being said we seem to have forgotten the freedom of religion & respect for the right of others to worship as they please. I try to mind my own business with other people's beliefs but theres a fine line between having a religious belief & trying to convert another to your belief system. Jesus, I've got to go. :D
