Are my mody senses tingling at the scent of a troll with a strange sense of humour? Or is this one very misguided person that should be directed to Bauhaus.

Hm historical instances of Goth:

Germanic goths, which went back thousands of years, yes. they were pagans, until their Christian conversion. (No bull about them "sacking Rome" that was propaganda thrown around centuries afterwards, there's no archeological evidence whatsoever in ancient roman ruins of that time of the mass burnings 'reported' the Goths just protested quietly, got ignored, left and went about their quietly peaceful christain lives. *rant off*)

Gothic architecture:
as mentioned above, very pretty, very ornate, very over the top, both Gothic and Gothic Revival. A style of prettifying buildings, no religion (except with Chratianity and its Gothic style churches)

Goth music:
Read Dead Ed's comment. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if he actually tried to start it some day xd

Ohhh God, no >.>
Sure, it'd be funner to read the Gospel according to Rozz (if I could bring such a thing into existence), but starting a new religion is hard.

im serious
That doesn't mean you're not wrong. It's okay if you consider it your religion, but pretty much no one else does. I am very happy in my religon, and it sure as heck isn't goth.

......normally I'd say read a book to find more information, but it seems that you were already led astray by one.......

.......goth isn't a religion or a spiritual thing.......its a mindset, clothing style(s), music style(s), subculture(s), etc......

.....and it would help us to understand what you are talking about if you allowed us to see the title and author of the "bible" that is referred to, considering you never said that the word bible was even attached to the name.....



.....I'm sorry if I seem to be annoying in my requests and declarations, but I just wish to lessen the amount of confusion you may have.......

....thank you....

*directs to rant*

Yups, that they were, a relatively peaceful people that only took up arms when their settlements were endangered. Farmers by nature they'd elect a leader for only their time of crisis. During one prolonged Roman attack the then Goth leader liked his taste of power and tried to make it a permanent thing. He was promptly killed for getting too up himself.

Also, they did not sack Rome. Absolute codswallop.

*ahem* Izzie likes history.
