I was thinking today, about the popular misconception of goth. I decided to do some research. I went to this website and found more evil on it than in any goth (christian or not) that I've ever met. I myself am a Christian Goth. If I do remember correctly the bible teaches of tollerance. It also teaches to love your enemies. At the bottom of the main page of this "website" there were two possible pages to go to. One said "parents go here", and the other said "goths go here". The letter that I read on this page disturbed me deeply. The very first words were, "Dear loser,". Now I don't know about you but that doesn't sound very preacher like because a reverand did write this. This letter was so, just so mean, that it made me physicaly ill just to read it in it's entirety. These people on this website were so severely misinformed about the gothic sub-culture that all they think goths are are a bunch of satanists that pretend to be vampires. But the thing that hurt me most about this letter was not the goth thing but it also made fun of mentally challenged people. It called them ,and excuse my use of this word at all, retards. That is so messed up.

Hey I wanted to share a couple things with you. God may hate a few things that some goth people do. Such as so many of them are cutters. I don't think God likes to see the deception of the spirit that drives people to cut. But I have also found that God uses culture to reach sinners. Please Check out ChristianGoth.com The gal who runs it is most wonderful and yes despite the fact she is over 50 she is a Christian Goth.
You also mention in the blog about tolerance. This idea is part true but not completely. We should be tolerant of people to some degree. But Jesus did draw some lines. He told one man to give up his riches in order to fallow Him. The man did not do so because he had so much. (idolatry) Which is a sin. God has little tolerance for unrepentant sin. I am going to cut short here and leave you with this. My blog is dedicated to people just like you who want to learn and grow in a deeper understanding of Christianity. Almost all my blogs are videos. So I ask that you might consider taking a look on my blog and answering the questions that should burn in most peoples minds.
