Take a Walk Down a Vampire-Filled Memory Lane with Our Top 50 True Blood Moments

44. Steve Newlin’s big pitch

As part of Steve Newlin’s new philosophy, God loves everyone. Remember that the church sign in the opening credits reads “God hates fangs,” which suggests that vampires have not been accepted into flock just yet. Steve Newlin wants to change all of that, and in order to do it, he has to change how people think.

Since Newlin was once a televangelist, he goes on television saying that you can be Christian and a vampire. There can be good Christian vampires and universal love, he says. Jesus loves vampires.

At Steve is no longer a member of the Fellowship of the Sun, he denounces their work, because vampires are God’s creatures too, and they are not the enemy. When asked if he has someone special, Steve chooses not to reveal his newfound sexual identity and instead tells the reporter that there is a special someone and she knows who she is. (Jason, who was watching from the police station, breathes a sigh of relief)
