Are vampires just energy leeches but over time people misunderstood that blood is metaphor for life force, so now they're literally blood sucking beasts??

Good point.

Blood does contain our life force and you're just trying to turn something real into an abstract new age theory to make it sound less sinister.
Regenerating blood endlessly pretty much keeps your body endlessly young, if you could do it. It's not a metaphor. When doing occult rituals , do people use metaphores or do they use real blood?
Yeah that's your answer.
>>17744829
...I use metaphors.
>>17744829
But does that mean you can get life force just by drinking it? Or is it the occult rituals that extract the life force of the blood?
>>17744795
Wow, an intelligent comment. Well done!
>>17744835
I think the blood has to be real but it represents the life force. Freezing the state of your body in the age you were, keeping it that way. All substances needed are transferred by the blood stream, it's not so hard to imagine how important it is to keep it at high vitality.
From another perspective we are talking about something occult here, so going beyond your normal lifespan you stop being human and would need to use the human quality of another person, or you dry up as a shell that looks young and may not die but stay as a machine with no fuel.
Blood certainly has a lot of qualies physically, it contains our genes. Just like it's said swallowing sperm will alter the genes (yeah you can google it) why wouldn't blood do it.

No, they are still just energy leeches, and there's now a separate myth about blood sucking beasts.

Nice work, Sherlock
It's a conspiracy.
Centuries ago criminals/the mentally ill/ outsiders/other undesirables were villianized as beasts and monsters. "Vampire" was just a common label. This gave communities an excuse to ostracize them and reinforce traditional values. This was just a lie "The Man" told us.
In reality, they were beautiful, tragic creatures who were unfairly persecuted out of envy.

They use metaphors
Shit tier takes it verbatim like the bible

Criminals are made not born.

>trying to say the bible is not to be taken literally
You're just part of the apologists.
>hurr durr satan isn't really evil, satanism is a theist practice, I promise, everyone is one and we should just accept homos and whatever
But that's not how it works.
>>17744928
Yes.
It does.
