I'm the only honest one here. I want to gorge on human blood, not because some fu-king bible tells me to, but because I like it! It's fun, it makes my di-k hard!

The Vampire Bible, or the Book of Lilith, is older then the Old Testament and according to the vampires of the Authority, is the real bible. Its teachings are somewhat similar to the Old Testament, but with vampires included. The Vampire Bible tells of Adam and Eve but also of Lilith who was created to balance Human Kind. According to trueblood.wikia.com," Lilith was created by God in his image: a vampire. Adam and Eve were created to support her, starting with the natural order of human beings existing for the vampires of service." Unfortunately, Lilith was killed by Warlow, her progeny, by meeting the sun.
The rebirth of Lilith in Bill's body can be seen in the YouTube clip below and can be compared to the resurrection of Jesus in the Bible. Lilith comes to Bill many times throughout Season 5, prompting him to drink her blood and set vampires free to roam the night. Her rebirth occurs after Bill drinks a vial of her blood. He starts bleeding from the eyes and mouth and appears to suffer the true death only to rise again as Lilith. Bill then loses all previous personal emotions and is driven by what Lilith wants, for vampires to be free. With Bill's new found powers, he has the ability to fly, become stronger and survive a stake in the heart.
Lilith however, although she is worshiped by many vampires, does not see herself as God, saying to Bill "There is no God but God!". Lilith see's herself as a saviour for the vampire race, not as God. The Authority worships Lilith and her blood, creating a religious following much like a congregation. Unfortunately, Lilith never wanted followers just someone who would restore the rights given to vampires by God in the bible.
