      Wow, Manchester Academy? Really? Then you MUST be right. They must have been goths 'cause they were wearing black hoodies.
      Even if they were goths, that one item of clothing being the same colour changes nothing.

        Friend, members of the gothic cult, much like members of the Catholic cult, wear identical garments that obscure their faces. Granted, it spares us the sight of a lot of acne and badly-applied clownpaint, but it doesn't make it easy telling your friends the "individuals" apart.
        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.

              How . . . goth.

              Predictably goth.

              Redundantly goth.

              Typical goth.

                          Because it serves as your double edged sword so to speak.
                          You can not speak of how individual the gothic culture is when you have adopted one of the biggest stereotypes of them all.

                          Furthermore do any of us here know you? I doubt it. Then the reasoning for choosing your name is fairly lame wouldn't you say?

                            Your judging this on my forum name? Wow, sad.

                            What would you have prefered I call myself?

                            And to be quite honest, I dont think you know enough about goths to speak about them.

                            Same goes for most people here.

                            And just to point out, I've never called myself a goth once.

                              Instead of styling yourself after a fictional leader of a cult who rose from the dead, why not style yourself after someone who really did rise from the dead, and Saved all mankind while He was at it? Obviously, you shouldn't imitate Him too closely, that'd be blasphemous, but following His commands would be a pretty good idea.

                                Well said, Brother Temperance!

                                Instead of gaining inspiration from silly, man-made Hellywood movies or man-written books, wouldn't it be better to read the Divine Truth in God's Word?
