Prejudice is another theme in the story. In the reality in which Sookie Stackhouse lives, vampires exist. As a result of revealing their existence, a movement has begun of humans who use the Bible to justify the murders of vampires. This group, the Fellowship of the Sun, believe vampires are an abomination against God and should be destroyed universally. This group is similar to the Ku Klux Klan of the forties, fifties, and sixties, a hate group who targeted blacks. Like the KKK, the Fellowship uses hate tactics to scare, intimidate, and murder vampires. This group kidnaps one of the Dallas vampires and plans to force him to commit suicide by taking him outside at dawn. This vampire does not wish to die, but the Fellowship feels he should because his kind has murdered humans for many generations. No one bothers to ask this specific vampire if he ever killed a human.
