You are out of your ******** mind. You need to be locked in a mental
institution along with anyone who goes along with your psychotic bullshit.
People like you give Christianity a bad name and I hope you rot in Hell.

I'm thinking of sending this guy a link to Cathara's list of Gothic tendencies.  

[Loved.to.Death]

Wow, over half of those accounted for me. sweatdrop I sleep way past when I should, and am usually late for work ( xp ), I drew a pentagram and hung it on my wall, I eat a LOT, I hang out with my friends and beg for my mom to leave me alone, I am almost always bored unless I'm innertubing/at a concert, I headbang, I listen to heavy metal, punk, classic rock, etc., and am Wiccan, and......wow, I could go on for a while.
The only thing that really pisses me off is when religions try to force other people to follow them. D;

[Boadicia]

I didn't know that suffering depression or having a light sensitivity made one a goth. rofl I didn't know that being easily bored or eating cereal was dangerous.

How gullible does a person have to be to be susceptible to these tactics? Is this psychological terrorism?  

[nightdove]

These are the only ones I don't fall under:

-Takes drugs

-Drinks alcohol

-Cuts, burns or partakes in any other method of self-mutilation.

-Is homosexual and/or bisexual.

I'm sooo "goth"

~and Anti-social meaning what? So if YOU can't hear the words and understand them everytime you listen to music, it's anti-social because you don't think they want you to know what they are saying? k, cause I don't like jazz and classical, I'm goth?

-Shows an increasing interest in death, vampires, magic,
the occult, witchcraft or anything else that involves Satan.
Wow, didn't know that every child was gothic...
Whitchcraft, like stated before isn't a religion, and doesn't henge on gfothic people alone.

~so again, most teens...

-Drinks alcohol.
~again, most teens, and all catholic people too!

-Is suicidal and/or depressed.
~It's a mental issue, maybe their life sucks!

-Cuts, burns or partakes in any other method of self-mutilation. (This is a Satanic ritual that uses pain to detract from the light of God and

~Many kids, teens, adults, and it's not satanic, they think that it will take away their mental pain, again a MENTAL issue

-Sleeps too excessively or too little.

elders are but a few examples of this.
~Respect is earned, sometimes it's because they are the ones that want us to do retarded things......Wake Up People!

-Misbehaves at school.
~About every single person in school at one time or another...

-Misbehaves at home.
~Cause I hate cleaning and try to get out of it I'm gothic? that makes alot of sense...

-Eats excessively or too little.
~ok, because some people are gluttons, or have high matabolism.
~ Every single model, and most teen girls eat basically nothing. The whole of the young population is gothic.


-Eats goth-related foods. Count Chocula cereal is an example of this.
~ So, Chocolate is Satanic? O.o Better warn all women!

-Watches cable television or any other corrupted media
sources. (Ask your local church for proper programs that your child may watch.)

~It's about the beat, duh. And Satanic meaning anything besides a cross?!

-Pursues dangerous cult religions. Such include: Satanism, Scientology, Philosophy, Paganism, Wicca, Hinduism and Buddhism.
What's wrong with cults, some of them aren't too bad. Satanism-just more freedom of religion, you people wanted it when you came to america, stop complaning!
Scientology-I must agree it's not a religion, science and religion don't mix, ever. It's a way of looking at how the planets were created, it's true in some cases.
Philosophy-again agreeing, it's a way of analyzing and taking in information to view the world.
Paganism-Umbrella term, true! Can't descirbe that.
Wicca, nature/earth based, sometimes people concerned with helping the environment. Has nothing to do with satan, you think the indians knew anything about Satan? They were close to wicca. So the indians, and many people in Africa, Asia, and in the tiny islands scattered amogst the continants are Gothic???

Wow, I didn't know that the most of the world was Goth. I'm so goth it isn't even funny.

I must go seek the lord, and read the bible and confess my sins to some weird old man so that I can be accepted into heaven, and not burn in hell!!!

What sense does this even make? People have their noses pointed so far in the air that they can't even see how stupid they acctually are. Who ever wrote this had really no clue about any religions. What idiots......

Ok, so some of my opinions weren't really relatable to this, but come on, who would actually believe this crap? it's insane

~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-

If Your Child is a Gothic, Reform Through the Lord!
Listed below are some warning signs to indicate if your
child may have gone astray from the Lord.

Gothic (or goth) is a very obscure and often dangerous
culture that young teenagers are prone to participating in. The gothic culture leads young, susceptible minds into an imagined world of evil,darkness, and violence. Please seek immediate attention through counselling, prayer,
and parental guidance to rid your child of Satan's temptations if five or more of the following are applicable to your child:



-Frequently wears black clothing.
-Wears band and/or rock t-shirts.
-Wears excessive black eye makeup, lipstick or nailpolish.
-Wears any odd, silver jewelry or symbols. Some of these include:
reversed crosses, pentagrams, pentacles, ankhs or various
other Satanic worshipping symbols.
-Shows an interest in piercings or tattoos.
-Listens to gothic or any other anti-social genres of
music. (Marilyn Manson claims to be the anti-Christ, and publicly speaks
against the Lord. Please discard any such albums IMMEDIATELY.)
-Associates with other people that dress, act or speak
eccentrically.
-Shows a declining interest in wholesome activities, such
as: the Bible, prayer, church or sports.
-Shows an increasing interest in death, vampires, magic,
the occult, witchcraft or anything else that involves Satan.
-Takes drugs.
-Drinks alcohol.
-Is suicidal and/or depressed.
-Cuts, burns or partakes in any other method of self-mutilation. (This is a Satanic ritual that uses pain to detract from the light of God and
His love. Please seek immediate attention for this at your local mental health center.)

~Cause I hate cleaning and try to get out of it I'm gothic? that makes alot of sense...

-Eats excessively or too little.
~ok, because some people are gluttons, or have high matabolism.
~ Every single model, and most teen girls eat basically nothing. The whole of the young population is gothic.


-Eats goth-related foods. Count Chocula cereal is an example of this.
~ So, Chocolate is Satanic? O.o Better warn all women!

-Watches cable television or any other corrupted media
sources. (Ask your local church for proper programs that your child may watch.)
~and the bible thumpers in the big churchs on cable are the only channels that aren't currupt, right?!?!?!?


-Plays videos games that contains violence or role-playing nature.
~Every young boy from 3-about 45

-Uses the internet excessively and frequently makes time for the computer.
~Talking to friends is satanic too? Keeping in touch with you're family is gothic?

-Makes Satanic symbols and/or violently shakes head to music.
~It's about the beat, duh. And Satanic meaning anything besides a cross?!

-Pursues dangerous cult religions. Such include: Satanism, Scientology, Philosophy, Paganism, Wicca, Hinduism and Buddhism.
What's wrong with cults, some of them aren't too bad. Satanism-just more freedom of religion, you people wanted it when you came to america, stop complaning!
Scientology-I must agree it's not a religion, science and religion don't mix, ever. It's a way of looking at how the planets were created, it's true in some cases.
Philosophy-again agreeing, it's a way of analyzing and taking in information to view the world.
Paganism-Umbrella term, true! Can't descirbe that.
Wicca, nature/earth based, sometimes people concerned with helping the environment. Has nothing to do with satan, you think the indians knew anything about Satan? They were close to wicca. So the indians, and many people in Africa, Asia, and in the tiny islands scattered amogst the continants are Gothic???

Wow, I didn't know that the most of the world was Goth. I'm so goth it isn't even funny.

I must go seek the lord, and read the bible and confess my sins to some weird old man so that I can be accepted into heaven, and not burn in hell!!!

What sense does this even make? People have their noses pointed so far in the air that they can't even see how stupid they acctually are. Who ever wrote this had really no clue about any religions. What idiots......

Ok, so some of my opinions weren't really relatable to this, but come on, who would actually believe this crap? it's insane

If Your Child is a Gothic, Reform Through the Lord!
Listed below are some warning signs to indicate if your
child may have gone astray from the Lord.

Gothic (or goth) is a very obscure and often dangerous
culture that young teenagers are prone to participating in. The gothic culture leads young, susceptible minds into an imagined world of evil,darkness, and violence. Please seek immediate attention through counselling, prayer,
and parental guidance to rid your child of Satan's temptations if five or more of the following are applicable to your child:



(X)-Frequently wears black clothing.
(X) (or would...if i could get some evanescence ones...maybe i'll take a free tshirt, or steel one, and then paint the band name on it... rolleyes )-Wears band and/or rock t-shirts.
(X) (all the time. i can't afford to go out without my lipstick, eyeshadow, and nailpolish! WHAT AM I!? A PREP!!?) -Wears excessive black eye makeup, lipstick or nailpolish.
(X) (*flaunts my spider meadallion* SUCK THAT, BITCHES!!)-Wears any odd, silver jewelry or symbols. Some of these include:
reversed crosses, pentagrams, pentacles, ankhs or various
other Satanic worshipping symbols.
(X) (i'm gonna have a mottly of'em twisted )-Shows an interest in piercings or tattoos.
(X) (all my bands...)-Listens to gothic or any other anti-social genres of
music. (Marilyn Manson claims to be the anti-Christ, and publicly speaks
against the Lord. Please discard any such albums IMMEDIATELY.)
(X) (dude...all my real friends...)-Associates with other people that dress, act or speak
eccentrically.
(X) (since before i can remember...)-Shows a declining interest in wholesome activities, such
as: the Bible, prayer, church or sports.

the occult, witchcraft or anything else that involves Satan.
-Takes drugs.
(X)-Drinks alcohol.
(X) (anxiety disorders, actualy...but my gf....)-Is suicidal and/or depressed.
(X) (so i am a masochist, big deal. that reason is stupid.)-Cuts, burns or partakes in any other method of self-mutilation. (This is a Satanic ritual that uses pain to detract from the light of God and
His love. Please seek immediate attention for this at your local mental health center.)
-Complains of boredom.
(X) (i have had so many changes in my life, it's hard to keep a pattern when everything changes.)-Sleeps too excessively or too little.
(X) (honeslty, lots of peopel are. i think the human race was supposed to be nocternal. the sun always hurts everyone anyway...)-Is excessively awake during the night.
(X) (like i said before, everyone. i never heard of anyone who didn't complain about light. hypocrits...)-Dislikes sunlight or any other form of light. (This pertains to
vampires promoting the idea that His light is of no use.)
(X) (i need space. i was never allowed space as a child. my family of six lives in a two room house.)-Demands an unusual amount of privacy.
(X) (i can't take iT! my family is SO disfunctional! i just need to be alone sometimes.)-Spends large amounts of time alone.
(X) (EVIL SPIRITS!!? ******** THAT! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU MAKING UP YOU SHITSPITTERS!!?)-Requests time alone and quietness. (This is so that your child may speak to evil sprits.)
(X) (it's not a social life if i don't get to spend time alone with friends.)-Insists on spending time with friends while unaccompanied by an adult.
(X) (nobody listens to the few things i have to say, and i am not notoced until i do something "wrong." they just need to back off when they go too far.)-Disregards authority figures; teachers, priests, nuns and
elders are but a few examples of this.
(X)-Misbehaves at school.
(X)-Misbehaves at home.
(X) (i can't afford to eat lunch at school, and never have time for breakfast. i also have to cook dinner some nights, and when it's not my turn, my sister or brother always waits until 8:00 to start. i also am anorexic.)-Eats excessively or too little.
(i have to say, that is the stupidest crap i ever heard.)-Eats goth-related foods. Count Chocula cereal is an example of this.
(X) (i am NOT a vampire, and drinking blood is NOT unhealthy or dangerous. it has NOTHING to do with being close to satan. it is relaxing and soothing, without being unhealthy or dangerous. like a nutricious varient to alchahol.)-Drinks blood or expresses an interest in drinking blood.
(Vampires believe this is how to attain Satan. This act is very dangerous and should be stopped immediately.)
(X) (if i didn't, i would just be clueless to the world, and as ignorant as all of you other robot bitches!)-Watches cable television or any other corrupted media
sources. (Ask your local church for proper programs that your child may watch.)
(X) (WHAT THE HELL DOES ROLEPLAYING, OR VIOLENT GAMES HAVE TO DO WITH SATAN!!? JACKASSES!!)-Plays videos games that contains violence or role-playing nature.
(X) (SO THAT I HAVE A FREAKING LIFE, DAMNIT! OR AT LEAST SOMETHING AKIN TO ONE!!)-Uses the internet excessively and frequently makes time for the computer.
(X) (it is cleansing, not defiling. it clears my head, and calms me down.)-Makes Satanic symbols and/or violently shakes head to music.
(X) (so i'm flirty, and never had a chance to learn dancing by lessons. what could i do? i have wide hips, and a skinny waist.)-Dances to music in a provocative manner.
(X) (THAT IS NOT AT ALL EVIL!! ONCE AGAIN YOU ARE ONLY BEING CLOSED-MINDED AND IGNORANT! i myself am not technically bi, buti would probably count in most cases...)-Is homosexual and/or bisexual.
(X) (non of those religions or faiths are dangeroud, you think anything that isn't christian is bad. because you are close-minded and ignorant. the whole world is.)-Pursues dangerous cult religions. Such include: Satanism, Scientology, Philosophy, Paganism, Wicca, Hinduism and Buddhism.
(X) (there is nothing satanic about feeling left out or hated.)-Wears pins, stickers or anything else that contains these various phrases: "I'm so gothic, I'm dead", "woe is me", "I'm a goth".
(X) (goths are not evil or satanic.)-Claims to be a goth.

If five or more of these apply to your child, please intervene immediately. The gothic culture is dangerous and Satan thrives within it. If any of these problems persist, enlist your child into your local mental health center.

lol. I'm not going to conform to what they think, I must agree with what has been said many a time, that whomever believes this is seriously wacked out. At least it's something to make us laugh. Are you being made to go to church?? that's wrong... stare
