ok......i just copied this of someones diary thing and omg, i have to say something about it, i have to because they [church] are critizicing every little thing we [rockers/goth/skaters......] do. k look here 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. i love wearing black -Wears band and/or rock t-shirts. how else am i supposed to support them -Wears excessive black eye makeup, lipstick or nailpolish. but black looks good on me :D -Wears any odd, silver jewelry or symbols. Some of these include: reversed crosses, pentagrams, pentacles, ankhs or various other Satanic worshipping symbols. i love odd-looking silver jewelry -Shows an interest in piercings or tattoos. i wanna get my tounge pierced -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.) i like slipknot, mudvayne and so on -Associates with other people that dress, act or speak eccentrically. my friends are some what like me -Shows a declining interest in wholesome activities, such as: the Bible, prayer, church or sports. i did my confimation in june and i went to church to study the bible for 3 years -Shows an increasing interest in death, vampires, magic, the occult, witchcraft or anything else that involves Satan. who dosent wanna die when so many people are fucking on you -Takes drugs. ive tried some....i have done crack and smoked a few times -Drinks alcohol. i drink red wine -Is suicidal and/or depressed. yeam im 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.) ive cut a few times -Complains of boredom. im always bored -Sleeps too excessively or too little. i always stay up late -Is excessively awake during the night. im always online at night -Dislikes sunlight or any other form of light. (This pertains to vampires promoting the idea that His light is of no use.) light causes heat especially in fl, im hot and hate it. -Demands an unusual amount of privacy. im always thinking -Spends large amounts of time alone. my friends are always busy -Requests time alone and quietness. (This is so that your chid may speak to evil sprits through meditation.) wtF!!! -Insists on spending time with friends while unaccompanied by an adult. yea cause parents suck out all the fun of doin pranks! -Disregards authority figures; teachers, priests, nuns and elders are but a few examples of this. they all think their the bosses. -Misbehaves at school. not really -Misbehaves at home. my parents are fucking assholes -Eats excessively or too little. i like eating :D -Eats goth-related foods. Count Dracula cereal is an example of this. what the hell -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.) only if i have a cut, yea and it kinda tastes good. -Watches cable television or any other corrupted media sources. (Ask your local church for proper programs that your child may watch.) ok......these people must not know about education -Plays videos games that contains violence or role-playing nature. whats better? killing someone in person or someone thats fake? -Uses the internet excessively and frequently makes time for the computer. only communication between friends -Makes Satanic symbols and/or violently shakes head to music. im a head banger by nature...got a problem? -Dances to music in a provocative or sexual manner. not really -Expresses an interest in sex. who dosent -&@$%&#$@%es huh -Is homosexual and/or bisexual. nope -Pursues dangerous cult religions.

The gothic culture is dangerous and Satan thrives within it.
