Gothtard Ballerina Demands Tolerance

[AbsintheFairy]

Okay, first of all, the gothic subculture is not about anything inherently evil at all. We are just people who do not follow mainstream culture or music. Because we like to wear dark clothing does not mean that we are in any way Satanic or demonic or evil at all. We just like black.

My favourite colour is pink. Bright pink...flamingo pink. I love flamingos, art and literature. My entire wardrobe is black, I own three or four trench coats. Am I evil? No. I'm not. This sort of uninformed flaming post is the sort of intolerant behaviour that Gothic people rebel against.

As a representitive of the Gothic community at large, I am astonished at how intolerant people can be towards anyone who is different than they are. Perhaps you should look beyond the stereotype of the subculture and actually read up on it before you flame about how ALL Goths are evil.

I don't know who you are but you sound like one of those trench-coat-killer types.

You could not be more wrong. I'm an artist and a ballerina. I like normal things just like anyone else. My taste in music is not the disgusting rap, instead it is rock and roll and industrial music.

You are incredibly dense if you do not realize that not every goth is evil. I do not understand the intolerance for individuality.

I received an infraction for simply stating my opinion. Very interesting.

I believe that this action has only proven my point further. Anyone who has an opinion different than yours will be forever damned. I am not trying to say this as an insult, I am merely trying to understand why there is so much intolerance in society today.

It is almost insulting to me that I am not being taken seriously. I simply would like an educated response as to why this forum is so incredibly intolerant of individuality. I apologize for insulting Nobar King. That was not at all my intent.

That is a lie. You received an infraction for hurling insults. God hates liars.

You have made no points to prove. We follow the Holy Word of God. There is no discussion about tolerating anyone in the KJV Bible. God condemns witches, sodomites and other assorted scum to an eternity in hell if they refuse to repent and worship Him properly. "Society today" would be a lot better off if everyone followed God's Word instead of asshats like you.

You come waltzing into God's favorite forum with a name like "AbsintheFairy" and expect to be taken seriously?

Re: Gothtard Ballerina Demands Tolerance

Now who is the one flinging the insults. I simply am a confused person with questions.

I turn the other cheek to these things that you are saying to me because that is what the Bible says, right? I just want to understand why it is you believe the way you do. I do not think questioning something in order to find out if this is a place where I belong is a bad thing.

Apparently, you are incredibly determined to turn me away for asking for simple tolerance. Forgive my attempt to find out more about God's Word by asking something.

If you have questions, then ask them respectfully. We do not welcome unsaved trash to our church, as the Bible says. My guess is that you've never opened a Bible in your life. How old are you anyway?

If you are sincere and want to learn about our doctrine, please read THIS thread. It is designed for newbies like you.

I just want to understand why it is you believe the way you do.

Why do we believe that the sky is blue? Why do we believe if we step off a roof we'll hit the ground? Why do we believe that fire burns?
Because the truth is the truth, reality is reality. It's not believing that God is real, it's KNOWING He's real and that He does NOT like His creations dressing in strange apparel and worshipping Satan!

Re: Gothtard Ballerina Demands Tolerance

Actually, I have read the entire Bible, cover to cover several times.

If you do not welcome unsaved trash, then how do you expect to save people from themselves? People need to be taught the errors of their ways, not told that they are pieces of trash that are going to go to Hell when they are trying to find God.

The Bible, from my understanding tells us to forgive the unlearned. On the cross, Jesus says "Forgive them Father, they know not what they do." when speaking about the Romans who crucified him. He did not condemn those people for ending his life. He embraced them and asked God to forgive their actions.

I understand that there is faith that must be a large part of this.

What makes black clothing any different from anything else? Fashion history changes, and styles are changing. When Jesus was alive, they did not have blue jeans or business suits.

But they didn't dress up like the living dead, either.

Of course they were condemned! If He did not think His Father would condemn them, why did Jesus ask for them to be forgiven?

They did not know what they were doing because they were Roman heathens. As Heathens they were condemned to Hell anyway – they just didn’t get “time added” for crucifying Him.

You mark yourself out as different and then wonder why people think you are different, you then spend all your time telling people you aren’t different, when they can see you are. You are beset by demons of confusion!

Like Jesus message the answer is complex friend. Simply put we do offer fellowship to sinners, as Christ commands, we spread His word to them, as also commands. If you had truly read the Bible you would understand this.

Of course not friend, but He did not sanction the sin of their attack against God either, You can be sure that only Roman who didn't ask for Jesus' forgiveness is head down in a magma vent right now in Hell. Jesus only saves those who are willing to be saved.
