Lia Scott Price's Serial Killer and Vampire Guardian AngelsTM: Q & A: Q. So why shouldn’t we trust in Guardian Angels? A. Because our lives are miserable enough---don’t you think we make their lives miserable by whining? Q. Why do you think there are evil Angels in the Bible? A. Here are some quotes: Psa 78:49 He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, and indignation, and trouble, by sending evil angels [among them]. Mat 13:39 The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. Mat 13:41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; Now I'm quite sure people fear the wrath of the Angels...and perhaps, they have good reason to. But I don't believe it's for not doing good works or following the Bible....I believe we should be afraid for other reasons that I'm bringing up. Q. What could they really be? Why do you believe Guardian Angels are Vampires? A. Because in the Bible, Angels were killers, and now I believe it was possible that they were even Vampires. They were judge, jury, and executioner. It is possible that they continue to be, on their own free will. Besides, in the Bible, Psa 91:11 quotes "For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways." But he didn't say HOW they should. And the blood drinking, I believe, is not just symbolism. Q. Why do you believe that Guardian Angels kill us instead of help us? A. It’s called culling the Earth’s population of undesirables, of the weak. Read the news---it’s filled with freak accidents everyday. Guardian Angels have human frailties, egos, and so much supernatural power. Also, they probably think therapy is a waste of time. It’s easier to just get rid of the whiners. Wouldn’t you think that these Guardians wait for the opportunity to push a person in front of a car instead of save them? And we humans end up blaming it on bad luck, but never on the possibility of Guardian Angels with bad intentions? Or that they could just stand there and allow someone to die? There is so much human suffering in the world and mercy killing makes more sense to them, because we choose to ask them for help instead of help ourselves. They can’t keep up, and yes, perhaps this is their way of solving our problems---by destroying us. Q. Aren’t you going a bit too far with this theological assumption? Why would you want to change the way people see their Guardian Angels? A. Can we not question our beliefs, or do we blindly follow dogma? Can we not think that there are things in this world that ARE possible? I’m just presenting an alternative view. The rest is up to whatever people want to believe in. Q. Why do you write about this? What do you want to prove? A. Simply that Guardian Angels may not be as good as people think they are. Mercy Killers. Serial killers. They come in all forms—and in the forms that we least suspect, the ones that are supposedly holy and sacred. You put your blind faith in something that may just be as human as you are, and because my characters are out there, for real. Think about it. People want so badly to believe in a higher power that will save them. The problem is, Guardian Angels were created to serve, and if they rebel, well, there’s the problem. People don’t want to see it that way. They always want a savior. So that’s what makes us so weak and vulnerable---and that’s how Guardian Angels can take advantage of us---or feed on us. Chilling thought. Q. How did you get started in writing this? A. When I was listening to a priest’s sermon in a Catholic Church one Sunday, he talked about Guardian Angels as protectors, who will always come to answer our prayers and help us and save us in our times of need, whether we were suicidal, etc. The hairs on the back of my neck stood up on end and that’s when I began questioning……"Really?"....Well, what if they don’t? What if they’re really doing something else, something much more sinister? We don’t really know what they are, do we? There is a dark side to religious symbolism and figures because yes, everything is based on mythology and the supernatural. Some dogma is pretty traumatic: Ingrained religious guilt, martyrdom, the shedding of blood. A bloody historical past seems a little bit unnerving, but makes for great fiction. So, question everything.—question symbolism, dogma. I’m simply exploring the more fanatical and darker side of beliefs, the things and experiences I grew up with: ingrained guilt, not being allowed or encouraged to question theology, the encouragement of martyrdom, and the wrath of the Angels. When I was a child, churches which contained the bloody imagery of saints and crucifixes were morbid and graphic and bloody and terrifying---Angels with swords that looked vengeful and who were capable of killing people for their sins---it made me question this ever since I was a child---do they have the same psychological frailties and issues as humans do, and are they capable of killing with such weapons? It’s edgy, disturbing, and pushing the boundaries of people’s beliefs. I’m just offering and alternative view. People don’t want to believe that Angels are other than good. They don’t want to question. There are deep dark places people don’t want to go or think about or talk about. That’s where I come in. Q. So what are your Guardian Angel characters like? A. My Serial Killer Guardian Angels ™ could show up at anytime after you pray—in human form, or invisible, or at some point in your life. You may have to rethink some things….did your Guardian Angel really save you from that car nearly plowing into you…..or maybe your Guardian Angel just miscalculated how much of a millisecond it would take for another car to hit you and YOU escaped without even knowing it…and he’s going “Gosh darn it….almost had ‘er!” That’s a disturbing thought. You narrowly escaped because your Guardian Angel was there? No….you narrowly escaped because he just had bad timing on his intent to do you in. Or he wasn't able to finish you off and make it look like an accident, or he failed in his "attempts" to make a suicide successful. But be warned--they will try again. Brings new meaning to "Don't pray in vain, and don't wish you were dead." Because you might just get what you pray for.  My Serial Killer Guardian AngelsTM love to target in particular those people who are suicidal. They'll either physically show up and convince you to end your life--in a very charming, convincing and hypnotic way, of course, or subconsciously make you do it through mind control (You really think you pressed the trigger to the gun to your head on your own? Someone had to prod you along to do it.....), or be quite invisible while you're standing at the edge of a cliff debating whether or not to jump---and gues who gives you that little "push." It's also a plus for the Vampire Guardian AngelsTM because they can feed off the bodies and no one will know the difference, especially if it's a particularly bloody suicide. Yes, I know---I'm warped. But it's an interesting concept. As for the Vampire Guardian Angels ™, they are immune to holy water, sunlight, crucifixes, stakes, and all that traditional how-to-kill-a-vampire stuff. Because they are celestial in origin, nothing “holy” can destroy them. Actually, the only way to destroy them is if another Guardian turns back to good….then it’s the classic good vanquishes evil stuff. You get the picture. Q. So what makes your Guardian Angels and beliefs unique? Some people might say that the “Fallen Angel” theme has been overdone. A. I have a whole new unique view. These are not fallen angels—not all are. They are working guardian angels. They don’t follow God or Satan. They don’t have to be fallen. They don’t even have to be rebellious. They their own rules—how to deal with us and how they choose to answer prayers. They walk among us. They toy with us. And by the number of freak accidents in the world, I would say they do exist. It’s probably their handiwork.  4733 Torrance Blvd. #866, Torrance, CA 90503 310-940-1282 |
