  • Re: Is Your Child a Godless Goth?

    O_o This is exactly why I think some people need to step outside of their church for a few minutes and realize that stereotypes are exactly what hide the truth.

    Most of those signs aren't signs of a goth kid--they're signs of any given teenager. You were all teenagers once. Kids these days experiment, and if you don't want that happening, by all means, try to stop it. It probably won't work but in the end you'll probably feel better about yourself because you tried.

    I can't speak for all teenagers because frankly, I don't want to (Some of them really should just drop off the side of the earth), however, it's rather frustrating to be looped into a stereotype when you only share one or two of those "warning signs" up on that list.

    This is exactly what makes me lose my faith in Christianity, and you know, it's kind of upsetting--because I so badly want to believe. However, the more people that I see making ridiculous claims, the less I want to believe that God would support this.

      Welcome to God's favorite church, Alice.

      I'm wondering exactly where we're upsetting you. Specifically, what part of God's Holy Word are we not following? Because we do our level best to follow His Word to the letter. God does in fact hate queers, for example. He hates all manner of perverts. We aren't fluffy-bunny make-believe Christians who sugar coat God's Word just to fill the pews on Sunday.

      You might want to take a look at THIS thread for new posters, just to get a better idea about what I'm saying...

      So, how old are you, Alice?

        My name is Marisa, Pastor Ezekiel. I'm seventeen years old, but I assure you, my knowledge and ambition is far above the level of the other kids my age around here.

        I'm a very analytical person, as I grow up. The more I look for answers to questions like "Why are we here?" "Where will we go?" the more I realize that they do not come with simple answers from a book, and we'll probably never know. Of course, I tend to side with science. I like my proof in facts. My grandparents like their proof read to them in a sermon.

        The thing that bothers me though about what you've said is that people preach that God gives everyone a chance, that he loves everyone and that he created everyone.
        If that's true, God created homosexuals, God created athiests and God created pedophiles. If we're all here for a purpose, God put them here for a reason too. Was it so you could mock them or was it purposely so people could direct them into a different direction? Either way, if God made everyone, he made them too. Homosexuality has been been proven to not be a choice--so God made the gay man gay. It doesn't answer why He still hates the gay man. Is it really just a chess piece or a practical joke, or what?

          Alice, you're banned for lying about your age to gain access to God's favorite forum. Come back after you grow up.

          All 17 year old boys think they are smarter than everyone else. You even think you're smarter than Jesus!

          Of course God created queers. He created everything. He kills everything too.

          I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.--Isaiah 45:7

          Every one of us is a dirty, disgusting sinner who richly deserves a one-way ticket to hell. But if you accept Christ as your personal Savior©, your sins will be washed away (like mine) with His Blood.

          Do yourself a favor Mr. Know-it-all nancyboy; READ the Bible, don't just guess what it says. Don't accept the cherry-picked verses you've heard somewhere. God does NOT love everyone. Glory!! He hates your guts right now!

          But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.--Luke 19:27

              and then there's the freaks that claim to be vampires and eat babies.
              Such as you, your queer dad, and every other goff on the face of the planet.
              What about christian goths?
              What about them? What about Arabs that glow in the dark? What about birds with ten heads? Can we stick to discussing things that actually exist, like God and Jesus?
              I've seen a lot of those. My best friend is a christian romantigoth.
              If people have to mock Our Lord by falsely claiming to be Christians, I'd prefer it if they didn't use it to prefix made-up nonsense words. Goff scum are basically psychopaths who are unable to feel compassion for anyone, so how could they possibly understand the concept of romance?
              She goes to a christian school.
              If her school's so Christian, why haven't they expelled her yet?

              Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.

              Does that look like it says "all have sinned, except for a couple of yellow goff whores"? No, it does not.
              And I'm not saying it again. I'm not goth. I've read all of this thread. I knew you weren't going to take me seriously.
              No-one will ever take you seriously until you give up being a goff tramp and become a proper person.

              You actually aspire to bestiality? I knew you unsaved trash don't have much in the way of ambitions, but this is a new low.
              O Lord our God, help us to tear their soldiers to bloody shreds with our shells; help us to cover their smiling fields with the pale forms of their patriot dead; help us to drown the thunder of the guns with the shrieks of their wounded, writhing in pain; help us to lay waste their humble homes with a hurricane of fire; help us to wring the hearts of their unoffending widows with unavailing grief; help us to turn them out roofless with little children to wander unfriended the wastes of their desolated land in rags and hunger and thirst, sports of the sun flames of summer and the icy winds of winter, broken in spirit, worn with travail, imploring Thee for the refuge of the grave and denied it--for our sakes who adore Thee, Lord, blast their hopes, blight their lives, protract their bitter pilgrimage, make heavy their steps, water their way with their tears, stain the white snow with the blood of their wounded feet! We ask it, in the spirit of love, of Him Who is the Source of Love, and Who is the ever-faithful refuge and friend of all that are sore beset and seek His aid with humble and contrite hearts. Amen.



              God being truth, justice, goodness, beauty, power, and life, man is falsehood, iniquity, evil, ugliness, impotence, and death. God being master, man is the slave. Incapable of finding justice, truth, and eternal life by his own effort, he can attain them only through a divine revelation... he who desires to worship God must harbor no childish illusions about the matter, but bravely renounce his liberty and humanity.

                Hmmm, wasn't Jesus murdered by those who believed in God?? At least, that's what the Bible tells us. Japanese had nothing to do with the fact that the Romans made a deal with the Jews to get rid of Jesus.

                  Yes, you're correct in saying it was the kikes who murdered him directly, but the fact is that He died for all our sins - mine, yours, and those Jap whores'. I'm grateful, are you?

                    We are all brothers and sisters in Christ, so I will try to be as civil as possible in this post. First of all, some of the points you made are fairly accurate. It is true that some goths are in the occult. But the key word there is "some." Trust me on this, not all goths are destined for hell. Actually, allow me to correct myself. They all are destined for hell, but remember friends, so are we. We have all sinned. Nobody is perfect, no matter how holy one claimes to be. We all are evil, so we have no right to judge each other. Only He can judge us, as He shall do in the end. Now, for a question: Do you even know what a true goth is? You probably don't, seeing all the horrible judgements you have made. There are Gothic Lolitas, such as my friend who posted before me. There are Romantigoths, such as myself. There are also Cybergoths, Punk Goths, and so many more. Now, let me assure you, I am not a satanist. I go to a Christian school, go to church, and I am getting Confirmed this year. I am baptised, and I have studied the Bible. I love God and have accepted Jesus as my savior. No matter what you might say, I am a true Christian, and I always will be. I just happen to be a Romantigoth. If you want me to explain what that is, I will be glad to do so. Oh, and by the way, Brother Temperance: My school hasn't expelled me because they are not so quick to judge. They get to know the person inside.

                        Acts 13:8 And said, O full of all subtilty and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?

                        • Re: Is Your Child a Godless Goth?

                          I am sorry that you took some of my words out of context, Brother Temperance. I meant that we all are sinners who deserve hell, not that we will go there once we have passed on. My use of the word "destined" was too strong and incorrect, I suppose, if you look at it from that perspective. Again, I apologize that you took my words that way. However, I am not a Christian hater. If I was, I would be hating my pastor, my teachers, and my friends, and I do not hate them. They follow His word with me and are my family in Christ. About you're other point of being able to judge me, I do not believe this to be true. I have been taught that God looks down upon us with equal amounts of love. If this is not what you believe, please, to me why. I am truly interested and would like to learn your views on the Bible. I am sure we would agree on some things. I am not here to be a hater, gothic vigilante. I am here to learn and share my views. Oh, and to answer your question, I do not believe in witches. Perhaps you meant Wiccans? If so, I would be pleased to give you my opinion. Now, Mister Brazil, to answer your question. Romantigoths are people who look to the past for inspiration for everyday life. A lot of our outfits are inspired by the Victorian era. We like the peace of the night and the light of the moon. We are, as our name suggests, romantic. Most of us are simply looking for love. But please, do not twist those words around. I have a loving family in Christ. What I mean is, we are looking for a romantic love.

                              Hello Lolita. It's nice to see you here.

                              Anyway, I have another question. Do you define Goths by how they dress or by their personalities? Perhaps you define them by both aspects? If you define them by how they dress, what types of outfits would you consider Gothic? What types of outfits would true Christians wear? Thank you in advance for your answers.
