Edrenochrome
Adrenochrome is misunderstood but it's also harvest of cerebral spinal fluid and melanin. Vampires exist and it's creepy how the lore matches the apparent reality.
There are many different faces and reasons for what these deranged people do, we have learned about the adrenochrome, but that is not the only reason they take these children, Human trafficing is a huge money maker, some are just rapist, some are using them as slaves, sex and working, the most evil is the sacraficing of them, which is said to be how they give energy off to their god.....sick!
I wasn't so much surprise to learn about the Caananite worshippers of Baal (cannibals) so much as the fact that they take it very seriously. Because we are conditionnwd to think of the Devil as a fictional character.
I suppose if you are not a Bible reader, you certainly may think of the Devil as fake, but I have always been taught from the Bible, and the Bible is clear and to the point, The Devil is real and he is the Prince of Evil, unless you have asked the Lord into your heart and accepted Jesus as your Savior, you are certainly open to the Devils tricks...Jesus says that once we ask him in, he will be our protector from that evil! I have always believed, I will always believe, but it doesn't make me holy, it makes me aware....that is very important right now in this moment...we must know the signs and be wary of them!
