The Objections to Twilight
The basic objection to Stephanie Meyer's series is that its main characters are vampires. In traditional vampire lore, the person bitten by a vampire's soul is replaced by an evil demon. This theory means that Edward and his kind would be inherently evil creatures. This is demonstrated in many of the other vampires Bella and the Cullens face throughout the series. They seem more animal-like, giving into their instincts, than the Cullens and some of those that chose another lifestyle. Another objection may come from the fact that Alice, one of Edward's sisters can see the future. She holds the key to many of the important plot twists, but some see her ability as an occult practice. Deuteronomy 18: 10-12 talks about how being a medium is an "abomination to the Lord." As the story moves on, Bella also meets some of the people in Forks who are part of a nearby Native American reservation. Some Christians have objected to the discussion surrounding some of those Native American beliefs, as they feel it would lead teens in the wrong direction. Still, others may object to Bella's strong desire to spend eternity with Edward. Christians have a strong desire to spend eternity with God, in His presence. Her desire strays from that teaching, and many Christians do not feel it is addressed well from a faith standpoint. The final objection has to do with some moral ambiguities. The fact that Edward spends the night in Bella's room, she lies to her parents, and Bella's struggle with her own human desires can be off-putting to some parents. At several points, Bella becomes rather cavalier about giving up her soul, which is off-putting to many Christians. Losing one's soul is nothing to be casual about, and though Bella is confronted by the others about it, it can be disconcerting to those that question the value of the books.
The Proponents of Twilight
Not every Christian, though, is against reading the Twilight series, and there are some Christian themes that run through all of the books. Love, sacrifice, unexpected pregnancy, and facing temptation are all a part of the series.

Proponents of the Twilight series point to the fact that several of the characters hold to Christian faith. Edward's father, Carlisle Cullen, was not only raised by a pastor, but was one himself. The book discusses how his faith actually made him rise above the nature of a vampire to become a doctor and save people. He strives to hold onto a little bit of humanity, and he passed that onto the members of his family.

The discussion of what happens after we die is a central theme to the books, though it is only discussed outright later in the series. While Carlisle believes that there is an afterlife, and that possibly vampires aren't damned, Edward is more skeptical. He believes that they will be punished for what they are, and he does not want that to happen to Bella. It is his questions that makes him confront Bella's cavalier attitude about losing her soul. The theme is an excellent discussion point for parents and teens who do read the books, because they can apply to the choices Christian teens make every day.

Pro-life Christians may also find the unwanted pregnancy in the series to be of great interest. While this pregnancy puts the life of a main character in grave danger, her decision is to keep the baby. For people who are pro-choice the discussion remains. The choice was given to the character to "take care of it," and she made the choice.

The desire of Bella to become a vampire is controversial, but the way it is handled appeases many Christians. The main characters of the novels were not "changed" by choice, but changed by circumstance. This theme is important to the Christian life, because we must know how to face our circumstances and hold onto our faith. The desire of Edward to not change Bella demonstrates to many Christians just how precious the soul is, and how he does not want to take away a viable human life. In Edward's case, he was going to die anyhow, and that is when Carlisle changed him. The Cullens value human life, and it is a lesson many people today can learn.

The debate about the sexual nature of the characters continues between opponents and proponents of the Twilight saga. While Edward is against sex before marriage, Bella is willing to hand over her virginity. Her fear of marriage stems from what many teens today face - the divorce of her parents and the effect it had on her mother.

i wish i knew... lol!

A somber piano melody echoed through the halls of her mind, softening it, disengaging it. She floated in an abyss of soft white; she didn’t try to control her movements – if she was even moving at all. She just floated through the never ending white. She had a dim recollection that she had been here before, a long, long time ago
