why wouldn't goths be allowed in church?!

Dunno, everyone's supposed to be welcome...I wish they would try to tell me I'm not welcome...I don't go as it is, and if I go they ought to be glad to see me and my money><


The church isn't all about money. The Catholic church, yeah. But that's because they don't follow the Bible as it's written.
EXCUSE ME?
Pardon my language, but that is bullshit. I am very offended that someone would have the gall to say that. I'm Catholic, and I go to a Catholic Church, and we are NOT all about money. And how in the Hell can you say that we don't follow the Bible as it's written? Have you attended a Catholic church, praytell?

Yes, Goths should be allowed to attend church. It's not a religion, persay, so I can't see a reason why we shouldn't. I'm Catholic and Gothic; I've not been thrown out of my church.


I don't want to get into an argument with you. I'm sorry for offending you. Making a blanket statement wasn't a smart idea. It's not something that can be pinned on one denomination.

In any case I apologise for that.

But I have issues with the Catholic church that I shouldn't have taken out with that post.

If you'd like to discuss them you can PM me.

Again I apologise.
I am sorry for losing my temper. I also should not have done that. Apologies.

It's just people say all the time that the Catholic Church is all about money, and that we don't follow the Bible as written. It gets a bit aggravating after a while, because it's just not true. And many people would come to realize that if they just asked, or did a bit of research... cry

Again, I apologize for blowing up. sweatdrop If you didn't notice, I have a bit of a short fuse...>.<...No worries? heart

There ain't nothing wrong with going to church and being a goth. Heck, there's even a guild on Gaia which my mate is in called "Christian Gothic". Shall I tell you what my mate's name is? Can't guess? His name is Christian. lol

noooooo! Goths in church are a baaaad idea. You not only feel out of place, but you make other people feel uncomfortable as well.

Sure its ok. Goth isn't a religion. In fact, I go to church. Sometimes twice a week because I go with my boyfriend to his catholic mass, but I like my church too (a vineyard church). I appreciate that no one looks down on me because of my strange attire. Discriminating churches piss me off tho because that goes against what they claim to beleive.

This really isn't true at all.

If you really feel uncomfortable, it's because of personal insecurities.

Goth isn't a religion, it's a music-based culture. A goth can be part of any religion and still be part of the music based culture.

Why wouldn't it be okay for a Goth to go to church?
You think we'll just walk in and spontaeneously explode into a firey inferno? Or a giant bolt of lightening come down upon us? Actually, there are more christian Goths out there than you think.

Oh, sure it is. Of course it is. It's not like every single goth kid is atheist, Wiccan, or a devil-worshipper... sure, there may be some who are, but the important thing to remember is that not all goths are like that... blaugh Okay, happy answer. Ashy's out.

My firend went to church once in Tripp pants,gauntlets,and a H.I,M shirt as soon as he walked in the door, the priest threw holy water on him and then kicked him out.

Going to church is fine, if you're into that sort to thing. Nothing wrong with it. However, writing gothic poetry about Jesus is not fine, no matter what you're into smile
