Hey, I didn't recognize you as the author, but I guess I should have. That's cool! Lot's of forum personalities showing up on Pseudopod.
Regarding religion, like I said, you were very creative. I had never thought of how vampires might interpret communion to be a celebration of their blood sucking practices. I suppose a religious person could be unsettled if they took the story very seriously, but I mean, come on, we are talking vampires here. And honestly, you showed religion in a positive light in the meaning, direction, and comfort it brought to the characters. The sunrise funeral was a cool idea, and I liked that ressurrection had meaning for vampires, too.
