Name: William Pow on Mar 27, 2007Comments: To the author(s) of this letter,I just want to say that this is the most close-minded stereotypical representation af said subculture i have ever witnessed.I consider myself to be a goth,and I dont cut myself,i dont worship satan,I am not violent, and I dont eat Count Chocula;and I beleive many other goths would meet the same criteria as I do.Most goths I have encountered are very sociable and kind,albeit a little eccentric but never in a sinister manner as you have portrayed.Quite a high percenage of goths are actually christian,a higher percentage than are satanists,(as is an extremely ubiquitous stereotype that is almost never reflected in real life).As I type this I am trying my best to represent myself in the most professional manner possible, but I have to wonder,really wonder what drives you to write such an unbeleivably grotesque and direct attack against something so intangible as a subculture.Do you honestly think your brash ideas of people that act differently than your conservative standards of what's right is excactly christianPut it this way,wuold Jesus condone the attacking of someone based on stereotypes and predisposed ideas of that person without actuallyknowing anything about them for yourselfIn case you have not yet come to an answer,NO,he would not.While I admit I have been a bit confrontational in tone throughout and towards the end of this letter, I beleive any confrontation is well justified considering the tone of YOUR letter.Flag

And thinks what is not normal in their eyes, is wrong and have to be bothered at all costs. People against those close-minded fools MUST proove that their religion is a violation of freedom and is dangerous for the self-thinking and induvidual mind. My ''religion'' by the way is Asatru.(worships ancient Celtic/germaniFlag

It is the epitome of antisocial stereotyping and perhaps counselling is appropriate for people with depression but i do not need counselling for having my ears pierced..... This St. Mary's catholic church is clearly misinformed about youth culture and I am so glad that there is nothing after life because they will have made such a waste of it, trying to be so true to 'god' organised religion is a joke, bring me a pizza, no peppers.Flag

Name: Richard Hodge on Jun 10, 2007Comments: This has to be a piss take, if you are proper christians then you would not be trying to insult people but rather trying to introduce them to your church (in my opinion is a idiotic thing to do as you believe in vampires and ''normal children'' play computer games, not just ''goths''.) I would suggest you go to the Mental Health Centre for being such a nut head! One last thing, if goths are bad with their satanic symbols then why do you have the item that killed your ''saviour'' everywhere. Thats like someone having a slipknot as their symbol if they believed that saddam hussein was god! good day!Flag

Name: Kristen on Jun 11, 2007Comments: This is, in a nutshell, crap. Come on, cable television Gets bored And tell me how the hell an ankh is satanic. It symbolizes LIFE. At LEAST five of these apply to every teenager alive. This openly discriminates against other, quite valid religions, and the bit about eating Count Dracula cereal Completely asinine. So I guess they'd better go enlist me in the mental health center. 18 of these apply to me. This list is more of an insult than anything else, and it just goes to show how closed-minded Christianity, especially Catholicism, still is.Flag

Name: Needles on Jul 9, 2007Comments: I am extremely offended by the letter written by Saint Mary's Catholic Church, for the following reasons: 34 of the mentioned 'goth problems' apply to me, does that make me a horrible person, no it does not. As well enlisting your child into a mental health center for being gothic is the most ludacris idea I have ever heard, individuals are not mentally distrubed because they dress in black or listen to alternative music, they are doing what makes them comfortable. Respect peoples right to choose who they wish to be , or else we face a world ridden with monotony and dreary likeness.Flag

Name: Maximillian Shultes on Jul 12, 2007Comments: I am a goth ok so I would like to write my opinion about this. "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." Not that dangerous exept for the some of the vamperic subculture but Ever group has thoses dangures people that take things to far and out of control. "Frequently wears black clothing. Wears band and/or rock t-shirts. Wears excessive black eye makeup, lipstick or nailpolish." Guess what I do that well exept for the excessive black eye makeup, lipstick or nailpolish. I do wear it all but not a lot and how can you wear an excessive amount of nail polish Wears any odd, silver jewelry or symbols. Some of these include: reversed crosses, pentagrams, pentacles, ankhs or various other Satanic worshipping symbols. Ok not satanic sybols I study that stuff.... not that I wear that stuff. "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.)" OK I do not listen to Marilyn Manson exept for Like one song that I like and guess what many goths hate Marilyn Manson (I kinda do.... no ofence manson) I listen to Nightwish, All living Fear, Apoptygma Berzerk, Filter, Smashing Pumpkins, Zornik, Evanescence, Garbage, Abney Park, Eighteen Visions... "Shows a declining interest in wholesome activities, such as: the Bible, prayer, church or sports." I am athiest not satanic but that does not mean I hate christians (sorry if i spelled that wrong) and that is my belif that there is no god OR STATIN but I am not going up to churches saying that they are wrong unless there bashing me... that pisses me off. and I am not that athletic I dont play sports however I ride me bike a lot. "Shows an increasing interest in death, vampires, magic, the occult, witchcraft or anything else that involves Satan." Ok some goths do but not all and witchcraft really look into it it's just about nature nothing bad it's called wicca read a wiccan book THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT and I am not wiccan by the way. "Takes drugs, Drinks alcohol." I do not do that but guess what at my school the really more athletic kids do drugs so what do yout think about that "Is suicidal and/or depressed." I was depressed but then I met my soon to be wife. "Cuts, burns or partakes in any other method of self-mutilation." a lot of them are just very sad not worshiping the devil. "Complains of boredom." Don't all teens "Sleeps too excessively or too little." Once again don't alot of teems "Dislikes sunlight or any other form of light." I have very light skin and I burn easy but I am not a vampire. "Spends large amounts of time alone." No I do not. "Insists on spending time with friends while unaccompanied by an adult." Yeah I do that ALL THE TIME what the fuck is wrong with that and we cant always have an adult around us then we will never grow up. "Disregards authority figures; teachers, priests, nuns and elders are but a few examples of this" In some cases good for them what if one of them is saying something they disagree with then they have a right to Disregard that but if they Disregard them all the time well thats probaly a problem but there is a lot to that and I dont have time to write everything about that... "Eats excessively or too little." So what lots of other people do that to and the eating to little si a problem but still. "Eats goth-related foods. Count Dracula cereal is an example of this." LOL that is the sadest thing ever goth foods HA HA HA. and that cereal goth that is just... I can't even thing of anything to say. "Watches cable television or any other corrupted media sources." like what Fox news I don't think so... "Plays videos games that contains violence or role-playing nature." STOP FUCKING BASHING ROLE-PLAYING!!!!!! and almost every one plays violent video games. "Uses the internet excessively and frequently makes time for the computer." UM.... wow thats goth I think thats just most teens. "Makes Satanic symbols and/or violently shakes head to music." Satanic symbols and head banging that is more of the punk group but yeah part of the gotha nd whats wrong with it unless you do it all the time I know that can cause medical problems but... "Is homosexual and/or bisexual." I am bio so what there is nothing wrong with it. "-Pursues dangerous cult religions. Such include: Satanism, Scientology, Philosophy, Paganism, Wicca, Hinduism and Buddhism. OK we went over wicca, paganism is about the same and philosopy that is wrong to bash that! same with Hinduism and Buddhism. and Buddhism... ....they dont believe in evil. now Scientology well thats something thats bad but not a lot of goths belive in that I have never heard of a goth that does. I hate people who try to say "I'm so gothic THEY ARE NOT GOTH IF THEY HAVE TO SAY THAT THEY JUST WANT TO BE BUT DON'T REALLY FALL INTO THE GROUP THEY JUST LIKE THE IDEA THAT THIS CHURCH IS SHOWING THEM... now get them into something else goth does not need more posers. So this is all I have to say.Flag

Name: Anonymous on Aug 9, 2007Comments: Hello people of the st. mary's catholic church. I just don't want to come to you in a hard way, but you're lying. Don't you know that gothics descend from the catholic church I bet you also don't know the difference between a gothic, metalhead, rocker and an emo! We can be straight as well and dancing in a sexual way is hiphop and NOT metal! Metal is an aggresive way, you don't dance, you moshpit and headbang! And there is nothing wrong with being a gothic or anything associated with that subculture. And we are just as social as the others! I am living between metalheads and gothics as well, I listen to the same music.. However I am not homosexual nor bisexual, I respect my parents, I am against Satan and believe in the true god, the Christian God! Because Jesus will save us all, gothic or not! And we just want some time for ourselves because we want to think and not to meditate through evil spirits, this is reality, not some sci fi movie.Flag

Name: Wicca Forever!!!! on Aug 16, 2007Comments: ok you have heard it all before, but i have to get my 2 cents in. Whoever wrote this crappy letter....YOU ARE F***ING INSANE!!!!! i mean come on, ever teen complains of being bored, and every teen dose not want to spend time with friend while their parents are taging along. And cable TV WTF!!! I watch buffy the vampier slayer, the x-files, and things like that, so what!! . And a Little tip, the pentacal is not a satantic symbol!!! it has five meanings, each point represents something, earth, air, fire, water, and spirit. and to be honest, wiccan is way more spiritual then most religons. You this is what you people need to do, take your head out of your ass, and stop telling people how to live their lives. Im a wiccan and damn proud of it, i do not worship satan, i do not cut or harm myself or others. i worship a goddess and a god, and there is nothing you can do to change that. So suck it up and stop being such a prick to people you know nothing about. And one more thing bone up on your Wiccan text, casue you don't shit about us. Blessed Be!Flag
