| to stop reading this article at any time and call the | | | | room of their house, until there was no possibility of |

| grave danger and involved in activities that no one of | | | | inference to all the Bible stories about light? The story |

| Fortunately for most, at this time, this problem is more | | | | AKA Jesus the Light of the world? Can you see now |
| of a big city problem. However, family's today move | | | | the cloudy twists and tweaks with the intension to |
| around a lot and children from the 'big city' are | | | | deceive? Tie all things twisted together to see the |
| introducing many 'cool-things' to the local small town | | | | hidden intent to deceive. With the promotion of the |
| kids. Either way, it is best to understand the | | | | vampire to mischievous lad; the demotion of the |
| background and climate that led to this problem and to | | | | vampire hunter to less than respected idiot or bad |
| know what signs to be on the look out for. | | | | priest as well as the facts of vampires being a bit |
| The climate that this problem has grown out of is the | | | | more accepting of the light of day we have one |
| new double standard with regards to Christians and | | | | character that our impressionable kid's can now have |
| Christianity. For the rules that apply to many other | | | | empathy for. All one must do is to cultivate empathy a |
| groups, Jews, Muslim, or Blacks seem to not apply to | | | | bit and we will get children who wish to emulate as |
| Christians any longer. We need understand that our | | | | well. What an amazing twist that has the incredible |
| children are witnessing a time of 'talking down' | | | | power to make evil more appealing for our kids! |
| Christianity. Popular books and media services are | | | | I truly hope you can see my reason to point out the |
| 'exposing' so called hidden secrets and down right lies | | | | various differences, simply to highlight, uncover and |
| about our faith. In this climate it isn't so far fetched for | | | | expose for you what I see as and what I will call the |
| someone to claim that they are not a Christian, and | | | | 'hand of Satan'. If not Satan, who then could benefit |
| that they are against and not supportive of Christianity | | | | from such wonderfully powerful twisting and tweaking |
| because Christianity doesn't support their group. We | | | | of evil things to be more appealing to our kids? Surely |
| are beginning to see quite a high level of distasteful | | | | not God or anything of the Light! Exposing our children |
| rhetoric from the gay community in specific lately. | | | | to the dark side (evil), a little bit at a time, while changing |
| Because Christianity does approve of the 'gay lifestyle' | | | | evil into simply mischievousness makes evil more |
| various gay groups are now overtly disrespectful of all | | | | appealing, or not as affront. Understand that the |
| things Christian. Your teen sees his or her 'favorite' | | | | twisting and tweaking must be subtle and non-descript |
| actor or actress out-right bashing Christianity because | | | | in order to get pass our adult radar. Surely those with |
| they are either, gay or very liberal, and simply because | | | | devious intent could not come out on the six-o'clock |
| it's the new 'cool' thing to do in Hollywood. Many local | | | | news and declare that they wanted to make our |
| newspapers tend to lean left and are supportive of | | | | children more drawn to dark and evil things! Because |
| various subversive lifestyles offended by Christianity's | | | | of how subtle their intent is, one appears to be a |
| beliefs and so an anti-Christianity disposition comes | | | | religious nut! Now one can accuse me of over-doing |
| through whatever they report or don't report, on | | | | things a bit or accuse me of making something wrong |
| purpose. There are many 'safety-nets' in place today | | | | out of nothing. I truly wish I was. However, if I were not |
| to prevent any actions or speech to come across as | | | | telling the truth, than why do our children see vampires |
| 'anti-Muslim'. However, it appears to be 'open season' | | | | in a new light; why do they empathize with them and |
| for Christian's and Christianity. I make this point not | | | | why do they actually wish to emulate them? Allow me |
| because my feelings are hurt or I wish for things to be | | | | to develop this point a bit more for clarity. |
| different. No, I make this point in an attempt to explain | | | | Simply put, I hope you can now see the devious |
| the polluted climate that 'The New Dark Ages' has | | | | twisting and tweaking to make evil more palatable for |
| grown out of. | | | | our children. We all know and believe that a frequent |
| Another factor aiding this climate is popular publishing | | | | exposure, applied with various twisting and tweaking |
| houses. Many recent best-selling books are on or have | | | | will callus people to the point where the once strange |
| been on the market taunting the claims of | | | | appears less-than-strange and more 'normal' or |
| undiscovered secrets and purposive lies in Christianities | | | | acceptable. I can almost hear you parents asking out |
| history. As when times are tough and supposed lies | | | | loud as you read this saying, "we are still talking about |
| are being 'discovered', it isn't difficult for us to see a, | | | | make-believe here, right"? "This is just a fictional story |
| 'rewriting' of historical fact as well as a twisting and | | | | and characters created to sell tickets for the theatre |
| replacement of the facts with convoluted | | | | industry, right"? Yes we are still talking about a once |
| misunderstandings and conspiracy theories. Whereas | | | | make-believe character; for me and for most, average |
| twenty five years ago if someone would have claimed | | | | Christian adults. Our children however, are being |
| the same, they would have been 'locked up' and their | | | | manipulated for devious dark and evil reasons. The |
| mental faculties questioned at great lengths. | | | | reason is simply, to make them more accepting of |
| It may be a bit cliché however; it has served us | | | | things dark and evil. If this can be done, our children can |
| all very well up to now. We have always understood | | | | easily walk away from God and all things of the Light. |
| the general unwritten 'rule' that the guys with the white | | | | Or as we have seen a recent rapidly growing trend |
| hats were good guys and the ones in black hats were | | | | towards pagan beliefs and actions as well as the |
| the bad guys. We understood this basic 'rule' that dark | | | | practice of 'white' witchcraft (also called Wicca) by our |
| or black was bad and light or things of the light were | | | | youth. So yes folks, we were talking about |
| positive. This 'rule' came from our Judeo-Christian | | | | make-believe for you and me. For our children, we did |
| upbringing and the general comparisons found in our | | | | not know it until recently, but they, our children, are |
| Bible about light and dark. However, today there | | | | talking about real things taken from our make-believe! |
| appears to be so many more shades of grey and | | | | The following will prove all that I am saying. If more |
| things aren't as 'cut and dry' as they used to be. | | | | proof is needed, as I said back when we started, call |
| Today because of the various shades of grey, real or | | | | your local police and hear it directly from them! I tell you |
| not, we are witnessing an almost total reversal of the | | | | honestly, if this were not true, the following activities |
| once general opinion of all things dark and/or black. For | | | | would not be happening to our children across the |
| an example today our children have witnessed their | | | | country. |
| parents graduate from dopey horoscopes in the daily | | | | In just about every major city today there are rather |
| newspaper to having psychic's tell their fortune and | | | | large groups of youngsters who have bought into the |
| pick out more favorable days for certain family events. | | | | new twisted and tweaked script for vampires, and in |
| These activities were once considered dark and are | | | | doing so many of our kid's wish to seriously emulate |
| still an activity for Christians to avoid. Pop culture today | | | | today's scripted vampire characters, because they are |
| has many very popular television shows during prime | | | | 'cool', sexy and all powerful! All attributes our children |
| time, dealing with 'spirits' or ghosts of the dead, who | | | | wish to possess. Yes, that statement is rather difficult |
| need someone's help in what they call 'crossing-over'. | | | | to take, however it is so very true to our children! |
| This too was and is still considered dark and not an | | | | Now there are varying degrees to all of this. However, |
| activity Christians should partake of. | | | | I know you couldn't be one of the few who didn't |
| However, in pop culture these dark activities are often | | | | notice that our children began dressing and acting |
| seen in a 'new light', pun intended, as not so very dark | | | | rather strange lately, we all brushed it off as some |
| or scary any longer. The younger generation that | | | | new fad called, Goth or Gothic. Whereas that is partly |
| always seems willing to challenge the older | | | | right, a group of our children equate looking Gothic as |
| generation's rules and guidelines can find something | | | | looking like a vampire. So now with the want to look |
| that someone is going to take offense to. Therefore, | | | | as Goth and as a vampire, is to dress in all dark/black |
| the younger generation that takes offense to the | | | | clothing and to wear long black top coats. Strong |
| unwillingness of the older generation, to accept things | | | | overly done, large buckets on super thick and strong |
| that are dark. This gives the younger generation | | | | looking combat boots, and things such as coloring their |
| something to be offended over and something to | | | | faces pale white with dark sunken eyes and to have |
| shake their head over. As you can now see the | | | | black painted finger nails, all in order to look more like a |
| unwillingness is the issue and not the dark or negative | | | | vampire and/or the Gothic characters of today's |
| action(s). Just a simple quick twist and the issue is lost | | | | screen stars. Multiple body piercing and tattoos go |
| in the emotions. I'm sure you now can see that within | | | | hand-in-hand with this new look to vary degrees of |
| this type of polluted and 'cloudy' climate something | | | | intensities, and those children who would have shunned |
| dark, something bad, something very bad, could thrive | | | | this type of behavior and dress at one time, are now |
| long enough to be a problem, with just a bit of | | | | falling right in step. Unfortunately, we parents in general, |
| tweaking to the over all 'script' of things. Allow me to | | | | sat back and watched it all happen shaking our |
| now clarify the things of days past with the new twist | | | | parental heads at the new fad. |
| and tweaking to produce desired results in and with | | | | The most extreme of this group are found hanging out |
| our children. | | | | in 'underground' or 'secret' unknown to most parents, |
| In our generation, back when we were teens, mostly | | | | Gothic/vampire nightclubs and/or youth centers |
| all of us enjoyed going to the movies and being | | | | depending on the age of the kids involved. Out east, |
| frightened by some spooky, dopey and completely | | | | police have found 'secret' club rooms behind normal |
| fictitious monster. Knowing that it was unreal didn't lose | | | | corner bars that the locals (adults) didn't know anything |
| its scariness with most of us. The most frightening and | | | | about it. To stir the pot a bit, so to speak, we now |
| serendipitous of characters for most of us was that | | | | even have several Hollywood stars who also dress |
| of the vampire. There were many others however, | | | | and act like this and their contribution to the vampire |
| the vampire seemed to be the scariest for most of us. | | | | culture is very strange and violent lyrics in their popular |
| A completely fictitious, dark and evil character that | | | | songs. Some claim that these stars fuel this new pop |
| took what they wanted without ever asking! This was | | | | culture; others see it as just a passing fad in music and |
| seen and held to be almost as brash and distasteful | | | | filling a need. Simply because of how 'cool', how sexy |
| and even looked upon as rape. Because vampires | | | | and how much in control, yet untouchable and |
| 'needed' and wanted blood to drink was even scarier | | | | powerful the modern immortal vampires are, they now |
| and totally gross to us. | | | | have a new and very serious following... Our teen |
| The reason I used the word serendipitous is because | | | | children in the form of Gothic vampires. |
| today's pop culture is again resurrecting, so to speak, | | | | You are now welcomed and even encouraged to call |
| and no pun intended, the character of the vampire, | | | | your police and validate everything I wrote here. I know |
| once again. This time though the facts of this | | | | it sounds very strange, bizarre and too difficult to |

| many of us adults don't find the need to argue the fine | | | | with as much of the background and the climate that |
| points; we state that it just doesn't matter. Rather, I | | | | lead to this, as well as to the over all devious reasons. I |
| suggest we need to understand that because of this | | | | truly wish it all was untrue! Your local police can fill you |
| twisting and/or replacement of the commonly held | | | | in more and validate what I have stated. |
| facts that it truly is important because it is now being | | | | However, before you go, allow me tell you that there |

| evil characters are simply now more appealing to our | | | | unfortunately, do actually drinks each others blood! The |
| children. The why of this in the first place, is because | | | | fear of Aids or Hepatitis isn't a real issue for these 'all |
| this has lead to many misunderstandings and a | | | | powerful vampire kids'. The other group of Gothic |
| reversal of things dark and once considered evil. | | | | vampires are called 'psychic energy-vampires'! The |
| If Hollywood can somehow and in someway twist | | | | extreme group, however small, who actually drink |
| things just a bit, then this bad, evil guy, in the black hat | | | | blood, do so by various blood letting rituals found in |
| or not, isn't so bad or evil any longer. Now because he | | | | occult and satanic books. This radical group usually |
| isn't so evil any longer, he is purposely made to look | | | | wish to 'hide out' or sleep most of the day away and |
| tough and attractive to the ladies. So then maybe it | | | | then to come out 'only at night' to hang out in local |
| wouldn't be so bad if one of us wanted to look like him | | | | 'secret' Gothic clubs. The other group is a bit less |
| or dress like him, in an attempt to also be popular with | | | | dangerous and do not drink blood but do go around |
| the ladies. This twisting and tweaking must happen; | | | | sucking 'energy' from people and younger children, so |
| because, no one would ever consider emulating such a | | | | they confess. With both groups and with some of the |
| totally evil character unless they were deranged. | | | | 'Goth only' kids, a good majority of these youths do |
| Therefore it becomes sort of okay to twist and | | | | not want anyone to label them good, Christian or even |
| re-write the character description to a more fitting | | | | simply average. No, they would rather we call them |
| 'modern' one. | | | | evil, Gothic and/or a true vampires. Just about anything |
| This twisting is a bit difficult to completely understand. | | | | in line with son of the devil or Satan's son and wicked |

| evil character into a 'not-so-bad' guy with a lot of | | | | another on-ramp, not the only way to this Goth |
