what sin did lestat and louis commit in interview with the vampire? what punishment did they receive?

Here is the answer...  \n\nLouis and Lestat committed the sin of turning a child (Claudia) into a vampire.  It is not required that a vampire kill them-self when they make a new vampire but only adults should be turned.  As far as I can remember there was no punishment other than Claudia slowly going insane.\n\nLouis and Claudia were punished for attempting to kill Lestat.  Claudia and her companion were put to death by sunlight and Louis was entombed for a short time.  When Armand releases him Louis he kills all of the other vampires in that coven in revenge for Claudia.

I would rather be a vampire, because there is something very alluring and erotic about being a vampire...Promise of immortality and always 'catching your din-din' so to speak.

Interview with a Vampire is the first thing that comes to mind. Claudia and Louis' relationship where she never ages from her [7ish year old] form.

Yes, he is a vampire and still likes sucking blood.  Communion is his way of mass-producing his vampire army.  Be afraid...be very afraid!!!

I would say that they would feel the effects short term but shake it off after their next fresh blood fix. Many vampire stories go on about vampires drinking the blood of intoxicated people so that they can share in the drug/alcohol. And the most famous account of vampirism: "Interview With A Vampire", Lestat is drained of blood and therefore becomes week and vulnerable until he has a fresh supply of human blood. So, it supports the idea that whilst vampires cannot die again (accept with the old sunlight/stake through the heart thing) but they can become suceptable to ailments of the blood.\n\nOh and to the person who called you an idiot: you are aware that this question was posted within a mythological context? We are talking about the fictional representation of vampires here.

If I understand you correctly, you want to know why Satan would choose to blow his citizenship in heaven?\n\nI think pride blinded him.  He didn't know about hell.  Hell wasn't a reality until the first betrayal so far as I know.

I've always seen them as romantic immortals. Vampire spells out: sex, blood, romance, immortality, evil and secrets, for me.\n\nThat goes for both real and movie/fiction book vampires.

Interview with a vampire.

Vampires are mythological or folkloric creatures, typically held to be the re-animated corpses of human beings and said to subsist on human and/or animal blood. They are also the frequent subject of cinema and fiction, albeit fictional vampires have acquired a set of traits distinct from those of folkloric vampires. In folklore, the term usually refers to the blood-sucking undead of Eastern European legends, but it is often extended to cover similar legendary creatures in other regions and cultures. Vampire characteristics vary widely between different traditions. Some cultures have stories of non-human vampires, such as animals like bats, dogs, and spiders.\n\nVampirism is the practice of drinking blood from a person/animal. In folklore and popular culture, the term generally refers to a belief that one can gain supernatural powers by drinking human blood. The historical practice of vampirism can generally be considered a more specific and less commonly occurring form of cannibalism. The consumption of another's blood (and/or flesh) has been used as a tactic of psychological warfare intended to terrorize the enemy, and it can be used to reflect various spiritual beliefs.\n\nIn zoology and botany, the term vampirism is used to refer to leeches, mosquitos, mistletoe, vampire bats, and other organisms that prey upon the bodily fluids of other creatures. This term also applies to legendary animals of the same nature, including the chupacabra.\n\nVampire analogies in ancient cultures\n\nTales of the dead craving blood are found in nearly every culture around the world, including some of the most ancient ones. Vampire-like spirits called the Lilu are mentioned in early Babylonian demonology, and the bloodsucking Akhkharu even earlier in the Sumerian mythology. These female demons were said to roam during the hours of darkness, hunting and killing newborn babies and pregnant women. One of these demons, named Lilitu, was later adapted into Jewish demonology as Lilith.\n \nThe vetala, like the bat, is associated with hanging upside down on trees found in cremation grounds and cemeteries\n\nIn India, tales of the Vetalas, ghoul-like beings that inhabit corpses, are found in old Sanskrit folklore. A prominent story tells of King Vikramāditya and his nightly quests to capture an elusive Vetala. The stories of the Vetala have been compiled in the book Baital Pachisi. The vetala is an undead, who like the bat associated with modern day vampire, is associated with hanging upside down on trees found in cremation grounds and cemeteries.\n\nThe hopping corpse is an equivalent of the vampire in Chinese tradition; however, it consumes the victim's life essence rather than blood.\n\nThe Ancient Egyptian goddess Sekhmet in one myth became full of bloodlust after slaughtering humans and was only sated after drinking alcohol colored as blood.\n\nIn Homer's Odyssey, the shades that Odysseus meets on his journey to the underworld are lured to the blood of freshly sacrificed rams, a fact that Odysseus uses to his advantage to summon the shade of Tiresias.\n\nThe strix, a nocturnal bird that fed on human flesh and blood is mentioned in Roman tales. The Romanian word for vampires, strigoi, is derived from the word, and so is the name of the Albanian Shtriga, but the myths about those creatures show mainly Slavic influence.\n\nAs an example of the existence and prominence of similar legends at later times, it can be noted that 12th century English historians and chroniclers Walter Map and William of Newburgh recorded accounts of revenants that arguably bear some resemblance to East European vampires.\n\nThe vampire myth as we know it is most strongly rooted in East European and above all Slavic folklore , where vampires were revenants accused of killing people, often by drinking blood, but also by throttling, or sitting on them and preventing breathing. A vampire could be destroyed by cutting off its head, by driving a wooden stake into its h

Pride was the first sin. It came in via Lucifer's desire to be above God. God cast him to the earth and renamed him Satan.

God did forgive Adam and Eve. but they had to bear the consequences of their actions: so they were sent to earth; but they will be admitted back into Heaven, for God created it for us humans. Satan was the one who was not forgiven: that's because he insisted on his disobedience. Adam and Eve on the other hand immedietly repented. Maybe this will help you understand better what I am saying:\n\nAfter being sent down to earth, Adam wept and got distressed for being expelled from Heaven and the presence of his Lord. So God said to him, “O Adam, you used to enter on Me like a king would enter upon a king; but now you enter as a servant would enter upon a king, and that is how I prefer it. O Adam, if you and your progeny never committed offences, then on whom shall I exercise My Mercy? And on whom shall I exercise My Forgiveness? And on whom shall I exercise My Generosity? O Adam, I prefer the cry of the guilty over the praises of a person who boasts about his obedience. O Adam, I prefer a sin to which you humble yourself for Me over a faithful obedience you have undertaken for My sake. O Adam, do not let your heart be troubled by My saying: ‘Get out’ for I have created it (Heaven) for you. However, get down to earth and work hard for My cause so that when you miss Heaven, I will admit you back into it.”
