See, I'm a Wiccan, so I don't go to church, but I believe you have a right to believe and worship what ever, where ever, and when ever, as long as it harms no one.


Wiccans have temple too

By temples you mean lik covens? There aren't any Wicca temples around here. In fact, I've never seen one before.

I'm a goth whom strongly believes in the Christian God and yes, I goto chruch (when I feel like it). I go as decked out as I please too. Huge tredded boots, chains, makeup, jewelry- whatever I please. Yes I get the wierd looks, but I get that everywhere.
There are a few churches I've known to disapprove of goths. Like a few Catholic and Mormon churches... But they usually are glad to have you because they think you're seeking guidance.
If I goto church I goto a non-denominational church. That way they can't pin you to any rules really. And I've seen a couple other goths attend as well. It's nice.

No matter what sub-culture you are you should be able to follow whatever religion you wish. If you DID actually get kicked out of a church or were not treated equally- I say just move on to another one and find one that makes you comfortable.
I may not agree with everything that's taught at my church, but I'm still comfortable with the atmosphere.

Is that even a question? Of course you can be goth and go to church! Letting religion come between you and your tastes and vice-versa is stupid and constricting.

If you love Jesus, go to church whenever the hell you want.
If you love Moses and everybody, go to temple.
Etc.

Of course goths can go to church. Religion has nothing to do with the subculture or style you choose to follow.

In fact, if I am correct, there is a website out there directed at Christian goths.

'course it is. I go to church ever sunday, and I'm a preist to boot. Just because I listen to some goth music doesn't mean I've given up my religeon.

you must be mormon then, yeah?


i am, and i hate it.

but anyway, yeah. i go to church every week. it's not going to burn once you walk through the door or anything.

My brother is a harder Goth than me, and he loves churches. Not that any of us are there to pray or worship God. Its for the spiritual experience.

Though I am not a child of God, I still find comfort in some things, like the rosary I have on my door to prevent evil to enter. Or when I am in surgery and scared, I sing songs from the Bible to feel better.

I agree with you there. I tend to go into church purely because it is comforting.

Religion can often be a comforting thing.
