Genesis 6:5 (5) And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
Job 15:16 (16) How much more abominable and filthy is man, which drinketh iniquity like water?
Psalms 53:1-3 (1) To the chief Musician upon Mahalath, Maschil, A Psalm of David. The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good. (2) God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God. (3) Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
Jeremiah 17:9 (9) The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
1 John 1:8 (8) If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
It's a chick thing. I see it as an attempt by some marketing genius trying to combine all the things women like: the sensitive metrosexual, the bad guy, the rebel, the world-wise adventurer, yadda yadda yadda into one generic package. With vampires.
If they could work in puppies, chocolate, and shoes they would rule the world.

To be it is more creepy such hyped, made for mass market trash is so highly adored by so many; particularly young woman. Even Harry Potter at least had a bit of literary and story-telling merit.

What is Whiggery? A leveling, rancorous, rational sort of mind, that never looked out of the eye of a saint , or out of a drunkard's eye. All's Whiggery now, but we old men are massed against the world.

Well that is my point. It seems to be so cliched and based on marketing, so much an example of the literary phenomena of the global-consumer age and I find that a lot more creepy than whether the teenage girl likes the 100 year old vampire. Vampires ain't got nothing on marketing men.

If my post offends you, I am not surprised. God's Word says:
1 Corinthians 1:18 (18) For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
2 Corinthians 2:15-17
(15) For we are unto God a sweet savor of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish:
(16) To the one we are the savor of death unto death; and to the other the savor of life unto life. And who is sufficient for these things?
(17) For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.
The very presence of a real Christian is a constant reminder that you face an inevitable judgment by the Creator and God of this universe.
Your very lifestyle and willful rejection of God's love and mercy forces you to find us to be offensive.
Yet, if you mean "a foolish or stupid person", then you are sadly mistaken.
God's Word defines a fool as one who rejects or refuses to believe in God.
Psalms 14:1
(1) ... The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good. (repeated in Psalm 53:1)
That, my friend makes YOU the fool. But most likely you are not interested in hearing this since the Bible also says,
Proverbs 18:2 (2) A fool hath no delight in understanding, but that his heart may discover itself.
