I am beginning to see a correlation between vampire fiction and the theistic notion of eternity. Both were created for fear of dying and ceasing to exist.
Although eternity seems like a worthwhile venture, it is not grounded in reality. All things must come to an end, even the universe one day.
Do I want to be an immortal vampire? Sure, it would be cool, especially going by what the vampire books portray in regards to immortality.
However, I realize that simply wanting it to be true is not the same as it being true, because the stories are just fiction.
