Re: "The Christian Goth" - What do you make of this?
What??? How can you guys be so close-minded? I myself have been a Christian Goth for some time now. Goths, contrary to popular belief, are very peaceful and very appreciative of life. We're not depressed, we're not angry, we're not violent, and we certainly don't worship Satan or anything like that. Sure, there are Satanist goths, Atheist goths, etc. But a large portion of the Gothic community is Christian!
And yes, Goth IS peaceful. Here are some lyrics from my favorite darkwave (Gothic genre of music) band....
So you must carry this light into the darkness
You shall be a star unto the night
You will find hope alive among the hopeless
That is your purpose to this life
The lips draw words and hands find actions
Still there is more within one heart
Into the silence will you answer
Before the chaos will you come
Do not injustice to another
Defend the weak and innocent
Let truth and honor always guide you
Let courage find the light within
Stand up when no one else is willing
Act not in hatred or in spite
Be to this world as a perfect knight
Even if it means your life
That is also the code I live my life by. I will carry my light into the darkness. I will walk among demons to spread to Word of God instead of sitting at church and expecting people to come to me. I will never do injustice to another. I will protect the weak and the innocent. I will always speak the truth and will never give up my honor. Through courage my light shines even in the darkest of places because Jesus stands with me. I will stand up when no one else does. I will never act in hatred or in spite. And I will live my life by this code and I will follow my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ even unto death.
When you think about it, us Christian Goths are the persecuted among the persecuted. But you know what? We don't care. If we did care we wouldn't be Christians. You may insult us and you may call us whatever you want. You can persecute us all you want. But we will simply pity you for being so blind that you cannot see Christian when they're standing right in front of you. And now matter what you do or what you say we will continue to love you and to love Christ.
I'd like to ask something... What makes a Christian? Is it the way he dresses? The way he talks? Is it the music he listens to? Perhaps it's the way he is seen by other Christians? No. It's none of these. Why should I dress like you? Why should I talk like you? Why should I listen to the music you listen to? Why should I care what you see me as? What makes a Christian is love for Jesus and I have plenty of that.
Also, ChristianGoth.com is a legitimate website and one of my favorites. My personal favorite section is the "Just 'Cause I Don't Look Like You" section, which has some excellent stories.
P.S. Here's an excellent quote.... "Never follow Christianity. Christianity is but a religion. Follow Christ, for he is your Savior and your Savior wants you follow him. Not a religion."
