Omg you're obviously not a goth! Please stop confusing "Gothic" as an adjective to Catholic architecture and the germanic tribe and "gothic" as gothic literature and music

[thuriferthecenser]

Oh, so I suppose the movement, it's imagery and even it's NAME were just conjured up out of thin air?

No, there are worse people out there than Goth kids. Far worse. Some of them wear suits and ties to their jobs, and look relatively "normal". :nods:

They are out there, make no mistake.

[trinitychiq]

No no...there is a church in England that does a Gothic Eucharist...if the Goth thing draws certain people closer to Christ, let it be so. Goth people are actually some of the nicest, most tolerant folks you could run into. They are good and loving people. Don't knock them. Love them and welcome them.

@thuriferthecenser I know nothing about what makes a genuine " Goth" but I do know a bit about being a Genuine Catholic and can see how someone can be a Strong Genuine Catholic and a Strong Genuine Goth. We would be better in our faith to show some sorrow and solemnity, to never forget the weight of our own mortality, and most of all to not judge others. Faith takes discipline, humility and respect, if a Goth came to my church with as much of that as style, then I would hug and say welcome

It's because Dark Children; Goth/Emo/Scene are God's Children, God himself created the Black Universe (see my channel), and the Cross Upside Down actually is "The Cross of St.Peter", proclaimed as "Jesus' Rock", it was clear that he wanted to be crucified upside down because he did not feel he was worthy of being crucified in the same manner as Jesus. and I agree with trinitychiq, I myself have goth friends who are straight-kids and loving!

And also, the literature the culture takes its cue from is almost always written in a spirit that is at least familiar with christianity, but also rebels agains the society which found in christianity ways to enforce their rule. Take Byron, for example, an atheist who made it clear several times in his poetry. Shelly senior and Mary, also atheists. And Poe, though very influenced by christianity, he also displayed a keen interest in Islam, Judaism, and especially pagan religions.

@uniontupapa well then, why the hell are we fighting with words then? xD

We both think the same! Im just being myself. Im not going to do anything to fit in something. No, il be myself and see what/where i feel good :)

[uniontupapa]

@GothixZa Perhas I should not use the word "clown"

still I don't like the idea of people being labeled as this or that "subculture" Wearing this or that kind of clothing because they belong to certain "subculture" is stupid and that's what most people involved in any "subculture" do. call them metal heads, unks, emos, goths whatever

I love metal and I don't have to wear long hair, earings and leather clothing...

Be yourself and don't let anyone label you...

[GothixZa]

@uniontupapa no, im not an expert in goth and visigoths tribes. I'm not even an expert in the Goth movement of the late middle ages, nor ame I an expert in the Gothic subculture of today.

All I say is that u don't seem to know alot of the Gothic subculture of today, becous u say we look like clowns... If u ask me, the reason Goths are called Goths is NOT becous we label'd ourselves with that name. The main-stream did that.

And u know what they say, evry creature needs a name ;)

[uniontupapa]

@GothixZa Is that so?? perhaps you do know so much of the goth and visigoths tribes if you are speaking of such. or perhaps you are an expert inj the goth movement of the late middle ages. Are you reffering to the goth literature of the 18th and 19th century "Polidori, byron, shelley, stoker" among others. Or are you reffering tom the modern clowns that like to use that name but hacve no idea where the name comes from

[GothixZa]

@uniontupapa Seems U ARE the one who doesn't know anything of the Goth scéne at all... <.<

[GothixZa]

@thuriferthecenser Dude, idd a part of the Gothic things are kinda related from Catholic. But hey, where can u put Gothic lolita, fetish, folk, cyber, victorian and other gothic (related) styles from? Dun think any of those even fit in Catholic relegion <.<
