Re: WHAT DO GOTHS DRESS UP AS ON HELLOWEEN??

I prefer to avoid discussions about semantics. Goths do believe they can ignore the Holy Bible, just like for example atheists and scientists, and that makes it a religion.

And to quote from Wikipedia: "Aspects of religion include narrative, symbolism, beliefs, and practices that are supposed to give meaning to the practitioner's experiences of life." which clearly applies explicitly to Goths.

Goths have different religious beliefs, therefore they are not one religion but a collection of them. Also not all scientists are athiests either, there is alot of scientific evidence that creationism is true and scientists are the ones providing the facts.

Right. That's why you all dress and talk alike.

Yes we dress alike, yes we talk alike; me and you also talk alike with many scientists and athiests and some probably even dress like you. does that make you an athiest?

So now you are denying Goths have a specific way of dressing?

No, we do dress alike. Yet talking alike binds everyone who speaks english. Do you deny that athiests probably dress like you as well?

What a foolish statement. If you dressed up in a white button down shirt with black pants and rode around on a bicycle, I would call you a mormon.

I would know exactly what you believed and I would know how to counter it.

Now, here you are telling us that you are some angel who happens to be a goth and I don't believe you.

It walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, but you're trying to tell me it's an elephant. I'm not buying it!

Matthew 7:16-20
Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

Yes. True Christians™ will always wear modest apparel as demanded by God. Atheists wear whatever they want. Then can dress like True Christians™ but they probably won't.

Im trying to tell you there is no "uniform" for athiests or christians. Your Mormon example is also stereotyping.

Oh really? Some mormons drive around on Harleys while proselytizing? Some of them dress up like freaks in concert t-shirts?

No, of course not. Goths all dress the same way because they are in a uniform. They have uniform ideas and behaviors, despite what you claim.

We have a different perspective on life, you see one side of the moon, and we see the dark side. We wear it as a statement

"The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; Those who dwelt in the land of the shadow of death, upon them a light has shined." Isaiah 9:2

We also have a different destiny after life. We will go to Heaven and you will go to Hell.

Not that I'm gloating, because I'd love it if you just burned all your satanic clothes and became a Christian too.

Please. The only reason you dress that way is shock value. There is something severely lacking inside of you (Jesus) and you think you can fill it by upsetting your parents and scaring the common folks.

Try getting yourself a nice cotton dress, and attending a Bible education meeting at your local Baptist church. I'm sure they'll be quite welcoming if you're honestly open to them.

I dress to reflect my views; and im a guy, i dont need a dress to make me more Godly.

The only views goth clothes express is whiney, self-absorbed teenage nerd.

Re: WHAT DO GOTHS DRESS UP AS ON HELLOWEEN??

I am a nerd but i take offence to whiney and self-absorbed. You complain when people judge christians and attack you, but you do nothing but the same to others. With these outlooks and views its no wonder people hate christians.
