I heard one theory that “Twilight” was mormon propaganda.

However, it was banned from the LDS Church-owned Deseret Books after complaints from Church members about it's heavy content of teen activities that violated Church standards (e.g. Bella and Edward lying in bed together at night, after Edward has snuck in Bella's bedroom window to avoid detection by Bella's father), and a lot of other generally unwholesome stuff that isn't exactly "uplifting".

I thought the first movie in the series was very good actually. Edward and the other vampires were convicted by a conscience, hence they controlled themselves to only feed on animals. And as much as Edward wanted to have Bella for dinner, he cared for her and loved her...hence no sex. That had a lot of meaning actually as there are many very decent people in society that are similar, they have demons in them but they are still really decent people and would never outwardly express those demons on anyone else if they could possibly help it. Millions of people are like that and there is no escaping those demons in our minds without the help of God and no struggle from us. It is exactly what they want, a mental fight or conversation with them. They are the voices in our heads which masquarade as us!
