Subject: Do you believe in vampires? or dragons?

Written By: Neo Matrix on 01/17/04 at 12:33 a.m.

If you believe in vampires, check out my site. Oh and dragons. I think that they really might exist. If they have these magical powers then what's to stop them from being invisible? Have you ever felt something fall on you, but when you looked, nothing was there? Maybe you just got whacked by a dragons tail!

You can't rule out the possibilities. What if they actually just move to fast for us to see?

Has it never occured to you that you have never seen everything there is to see in the world? When you think of that it tells you how limited your knowledge is. There are so many things that alot of us will never experience in a lifetime, but they do exist. How can you live in a world without the "maybe"'s and "what if"'s?

There is a huge difference between believing in something's existence based on lack of evidence against it (flawed logic) and  believing in the possibility of something's existence based on lack of evidence against it (good science). Yes, it is entirely possible that dragons/vampires exist. If they did exist, after all the bad publicity they've been getting, I very much doubt any of them would show themselves. Same for wizards and so forth (mmm... Harry Potter...). Of course, some things are a lot more likely than others, and magical creatures are right down at the bottom of the list, but of course they are still possible. But I still have to agree with the others here, you are being silly.

people believe in religion without needing any proof so why can't neo have faith in the existence of magical creatures? It doesn't seem much different to me except in terms of how many others believe. But the dragon's tail example is silly... if mythical dragons truly existed you probably wouldn't be getting up for quite a while after being hit with a dragon tail.

Good Point, although a possibility of these things existing, that still won't convince me, sorry Neo Matrix.

Actually, my sister's having a problem dealing with vampires.  The Blood Institute won't stop calling her.  *drumroll please*  ;D  

Ok sorry on a more serious note, as far as dragons are concerned....well many reptiles are referred to as "dragons," but of course not like the flying fire-breathing kind.  

If you read in the Bible in Job 40 & 41, God talks about Behemoth (which is possibly a mammoth) and leviathon.  Leviathon is described like what many people think of fairy-tale dragons: "By his sneezings a light doth shine, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning.  Out of his mouth go burning lamps, and sparks of fire leap out.  Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as out of a seething pot or caldron."  (ch. 41: 18-20)

I do not know if any leviathon still exists.  If it does it's probably hiding somewhere in a huge lake.

If santa was real, I would've gotten presents this year, or at least a lump of coal, or some curse words, or a hello. I got none :'( :'(

Santa is just a dyslexic Satan.  Fire breathing dragons suffer from bruxism (grinding their teeth) and belch methane, so of course it ignites.  As for vampires and werewolves and wolfman - OH MY - I believe that...excuse me, Bigfoot's at the door and he wants to ask my throw rug out on a date again.  I'll be back...

My child I do believe in the Vampires of myth and legend, aswell as the "Real Vampires".  Hell how can say he does not believe in Aliens, Dragons, Vampires, et cetera when it is quite clear that no one knows everything.  Everyday people not just scientist discover new creatures, new civilisations.  I my friend would suggest that you not let these morons and non-believers discourage you.  There are several people like myself that believe as you do.  We the knowledgable remember that.  dark dreams

Ah well, I guess the "Santa clause" was possibly a bit too obscure

Sigh
