This is what tofvampire@aol.com (TofVampire) recently posted to
one of the "for sale" newsgroups. Boy-howdy, SOMEbody's full of
himself!
"I am a Vampire.
"I worship my ego and I worship my life, for I am the only God that is.
"I am proud that I am a predatory animal and I honor my animal instincts.
"I exalt my rational mind and hold no belief that is in defiance of
reason.
"I recognize the difference between the worlds of truth and fantasy.
"I acknowledge the fact that survival is the highest law.
"I acknowledge the Powers of Darkness to be hidden natural laws
through which I work my magic.
"I know that my beliefs in Ritual are fantasy but the magic is real,
and I respect and acknowledge the results of my magic.
"I realize that there is no heaven as there is no hell,
and I view death as the destroyer of life.
Therefore I will make the most of life here and now.
I am a Vampire.
Bow down before me."
-"The Vampire Creed" (reproduced here, with permission, from *The Vampire
Bible*).
The Temple of the Vampire remains the only authentic Vampire religion in
the
world today, the U.S. division registered with the federal government.
Our
membership is international with a priesthood dedicated to the service of
the
Undead Who rule this earth.
Our primary focus is that of a unique religion which is devoted to
enabling
candidate humans achieve the Vampiric Condition and to promote the spread
of
Vampirism as it serves the desires of the Undead. This is not a game. We
are all deadly serious.
On one level, the Temple offers an immensely practical and rewarding view
of
life We call the "Dayside". On another level, the Temple offers intensive
training in the mastery of subtle levels of experience, the "Nightside",
to
produce real change in the world. On yet another level, the Temple offers
the opportunity for social communications between those who are Active
Members of the Body of the Blood both through an international forum,
"Lifeforce", as well as through direct personal contact through "The
Vampire
Connection."
The reality of Vampires is insulated from popular belief by the credulity
of
the masses. We have carefully created a firm disbelief in Our reality and
have no concern that those few who recognize Us for what We are shall sway
the massive ignorance of humanity as a whole.
