[QUOTE]Originally posted by Sol System: [QB] "the Vampires that Persephone blows away" Werewolves, it would seem. Supposedly, Persephone is a vampire herself, though I think that might be something the actress said somewhere that didn't actually show up in the film. "Satan created the world to trap humanity" The Demiurge, which isn't quite the same thing. There were as many gnosticisms as there are other Christian sects, but I don't believe most held that the world was created specifically as a trap. It was, in the traditions I can recall, either a side effect of the bifurcation of the One True God, or a twisted attempt at mimicry on the part of the Demiurge. Humans do happen to be trapped in it, but it wasn't created out of the hope of doing so. The official Catholic line is <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/04707b.htm">somewhat different.</a> For fun reading: <a href="http://www.gnosis.org/naghamm/nhl.html">The Nag Hammadi codex.</a> The Empire never fell.
