What if a vampire sees something religion related by not knowing it?
Vampires getting spooked out of religion related stuff is a somewhat well-known thing. Because they are supposed to be an unholy abomination. But what if he sees a less known tribe religion symbol? Will it still frighten the vampire? Or will he just ignore it? And vampires usually can't stand Bible related stuff, but would it be still effective with a Quran or something? It's still religion, so.. If a baby vampire sees a cross, would it be scared of it? I mean, babies don't know what a cross is.

Also, what if a vampire is a religious Christian? Will he be still spooked out by crosses?

It depends on which Vampire lore you ascribe to. If it is the traditional Brahm Stoker's Dracula, it's only Christian symbols and relics that have power over vampires. You have to admit though, that a vampire would have a helluva time getting around in the world if he was thwarted by two sticks or anything shaped like a X.

Hard to tell there has been so many lores about vampires its hard to even tell whats good and bad against it

Yes, some leave out the religious symbolism and stick with setting them on fire, cutting off the head, etc.

Vampires where actually mentioned in the bible. It however refers it them in a metaphor sense.

"There are those whose teeth are swords, whose fangs are knives, to devour the poor from off the earth, the needy from among mankind. "

It's referring to those that let greed get the best of them. They get so greedy, they start leeching off others. Even getting to the point of hurting others, just to get ahead themselves. Yet are never fulfilled in their lifestyle and are cursed to a continuous craving, without being satisfied.

Hense it's the curse to the greedy (not to be mistaken for the rich), from which they cast themselves into. They self-reflect this upon themselves, it's just some things remind them more about it.

Then use the mirror so he can register himself as a vamp, or use satanism (whitch I don't recommend)

I don't think that thing in the Bible is not vampire, since vampires don't have sharp fangs.

Vampires are said to have fangs to suck the blood out of victim's necks. It's merely an assumption from the metaphor description, which was actually meaning something completely different.

You will be surprised what is assumed from the Bible, it even mentions Dinosaurs which came mostly out of the sea and lines up to things we have found bones for, yet the rough translation of the word Dinosaur is "Dragon" in the Bible. So people assumed they had wings and breathed fire, etc. As we imagine a dragon today, when it never described them as such. The "behemoth" is said to be the mightiest of all creatures, a giant whose tail is likened to a cedar tree and used it as it's main weapon, which humans feared, but where around at the same time and they got wiped out.

As for the dates of those occurances, well they didn't even have calendars or the same time keeping as we do today. All dates/events in the bible are merely overwrites of Pagan ones.

Anyways, the same deal came by with vampires. It's not blood they thirst for, but rather money and power, till the point of corruption and the need to get more and more. They can no longer function without it, yet are never satified with it.



The song Silverchair - Tomorrow (describes it as "Fat Boy")

Pfffft. In V: tM you just shove the cross right up where the sun don't shine.

Hell, many vampires are or were priests.

I remember that in a Gallagher special, “Going Overboard” I can still recall it from memory, “Chase Jews! Chase Arabs! They won’t have a cross!”
