Being a vampire is not a curse. It’s a disease, ” Tessa filled in. “But they still can’t enter hallowed ground, then? Does that mean they’re damned?” “That depends on what you believe, ” said Jem. “And whether you believe in damnation at all.” “ But you hunt demons. You must believe in damnation! ” “ I believe in good and evil, ” said Jem. “And I believe the soul is eternal. I don’t believe in the fiery pit, the pitchforks, or the endless torment. I do not believe you can threaten people into goodness. Cassandra Clare
About This Quote

The idea that the vampires are allowed to enter into places of holy ground is preposterous. If anything, it is the human that's damned. Vampires hunt demons and they do not believe in damnation. They fight evil and do good.
