The fact that you refuse to read something that is well written with decent grammar, addressing all your misconceptions about the Goth subculture, implies that you cannot read well. It is also implicated by the fact that most of you seem to get something completely different out of my posts from what is actually there.
Seeing as I am Pagan and don't believe in him, I don't care what you think Jesus is going to do to me. However, I do care when people spread false information about the Goth scene. It gives people the wrong idea about us and can put us in danger.

Your only danger is meeting Jesus face to face and being held accountable to refusing to believe He was born of a virgin, died for the sins of those He loves, got better, rose up through the clouds to Heaven, is seated at the right hand of the Father, who is also Himself, and yet somehow lives in our hearts, and that He will come again to judge the world. If you fail to believe these things (which, lets face it, requires faith to believe), then the only thing you should care about is vicious will Satan be when he punishes you for all eternity?
Hello, my name is Mary. I hope to fellowship with you! That is, unless you don't listen to church authority (Deuteronomy 17:12); are a witch (Exodus 22:17); are a homosexual (Leviticus 20:13; Romans 1:24-32); or fortuneteller (Leviticus 20:27) or a snotty kid who hits their dad (Exodus 21:15); or curses their parents (Proverbs 20:20; Leviticus 20:9); an adulterer (Leviticus 20:10); a non-Christian (Exodus 22:19; Deuteronomy 13:7-12; Deuteronomy 17:2-5;Romans 1:24-32); an atheist (2 Chronicles 15:12-13); or false prophet (Zechariah 13:3); from the town of one who worships another, false god (Deuteronomy 13:13-19); were a non-virgin bride (Deuteronomy 22:20-21); or blasphemer (Leviticus 24:10-16), as God calls for your execution and will no doubt send you to Hell, and I have no interest developing a friendship with the Spiritually Walking Dead.

Your fantasy stories are not a danger and they don't frighten me.
The danger to the Goth subculture is real. It is because of misconceptions like the ones posted on this website and mislabeling people like the trench coat mafia as Goth that people in the Goth scene have been physically attacked. I should not have to worry that if I take a bus into the city and walk down to the club to see a band I like I'm going to have some random person throw beer bottles at my head or run over and hit or kick me. Goths have done nothing to deserve this kind of intolerance and mistreatment.

Oh, but you do have an important thing in common with the original Goths you are pretending to be.
You both dismiss Jesus.
The ancient Goths even translated the NT but still failed to realize the True Nature™ of Jesus as God (John 1:1-4). They practiced Arianism, a heresy as bad as Catholicism or modern Gothicism. They claimed that Jesus was only the Son of God but not God Himself unlike stated in His Bestseller, the True Bible™.
John 10:30
I and my Father are one.
(That is "ik jah atta meins ain siju" in your Gothic.) You have also confessed that you have dismissed Jesus and everything that He presents ( i.e., everything that is good and decent). Whatever you do may seem nice, but God knows that you're incapable of doing actual good (Psalms 53:1). Interestingly, John 10:30 was preserved in the Gothic Bible, which can only mean that they chose to discard Jesus deliberately, similar to your neo-Gothic imitation cult. The Result is obvious:
John 3:18
He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
Again, the Gothic translation of this verse is lost if it was ever there in the first place. Perhaps the True Goths™ just ignored it. As you can see, they were very similar to you in the things that matter. What are the things that matter? Ecclesiastes 12:13 will tell you that (not available in Gothic, they only did the NT, another thing that apparently caused their ultimate downfall).

No one is pretending to be part of an extinct Germanic tribe. Calling yourself a Goth is not pretending to be a Visigoth. It's saying you are a member of the Goth Rock subculture. A fan of Goth Rock is a literal definition of the word Goth. And being a fan of Goth rock has nothing to do with religion of any kind.
Please stop bringing up anything the Germanic tribes did or anything that relates to them. It is irrelevant as it has nothing to do with the modern definition of the word Goth and the Goth subculture. They are not similar to modern Goths as the only thing all modern Goths have in common is liking a specific genre of music and that didn't exist until 1979.
Yes, I dismiss Jesus. He was a good person who obviously lived, but I do not believe he is the son of any god. But that is because I am Pagan and follow the beliefs of my ancestors. It has nothing to do with Goth.
Jesus is not everything that is good and decent. You can be good and decent without knowing Jesus ever existed and without being a Christian. Christianity and morals are not mutually exclusive.

"Obviously lived"? Really? Just what do you base that on?
And "good"?? Why not actually read the Bible for yourself, and then come back and let us know what you think of the "good" guy who promises to come back and kill (for starters) 1/3 of humanity with the sword coming out of His mouth?

Ooh?
In how many human sacrifices have you participated so far?
Because you know, human sacrifice was at the core of most if not all ancient pagan religions. So if you want to follow the beliefs of your ancestors, and not some fluffy-bunny New Age creation, you need to get your hands bloody ASAP.

Most contemporary documents to the actual Celtic and Norse religions were written by people who were trying to slander them. The actual known practices are things like throwing a coin into a well.

That's not archaeology tells us, sweetie.
Norse human sacrifices:
http://en.natmus.dk/historical-knowl...an-sacrifices/
Celtic human sacrifices:
http://archive.archaeology.org/0201/etc/celtic.html
...and these are just the first pages that jump out from a very quick Google search.
Or are you suggesting that modern day archaeologists are also on a mission to slander ancient Norsemen and Celts?

Are you saying that the charred human bones found at these sites have a different explanation? What sort of sacrifices do you burn at your heathen Devil worshipping ceremonies? And why exactly are you here anyway?

They could very well have a different explanation.
Pagans may prick their finger, or provide the gods or goddesses with food, wine, things from nature, coins, things of sentimental value, gifts that represent things sacred to the god or goddess, etc.,
But again this has nothing to do with Goth. I've already explained why I am here. Multiple times. I am here because I am a Goth and do not appreciate people slandering the Goth scene and spreading false information that puts us in real physical danger so I corrected the false information and misconceptions listed here.

It's called scientific evidence. It's the same scientific method the law enforcement uses to identify dead bodies, figure out how they died, and persecute their murderers. Except, in this case, the murderers are long dead and therefore impossible to persecute and punish.

This is a very interesting hypothesis, however you need evidence to support it if you want anyone to accept it. And I will be happy to review such evidence if (and that is a very big if) you are able to produce it somehow. Which you won't be able to do because it is a really ridiculous claim that is impossible to defend.
Quote:

No you aren't.
As I pointed out before, in order to be a real Pagan you would have to bury some human bodies occasionally. Since you seem to draw your idea of "paganism" on your perception of Norse and Celtic traditions (which is quite ironic given that these two ethnic groups were not that friendly to each other), you need to start dropping bodies in bogs and such. Your gods need that to ensure that the spring comes after the winter, that the sun rises in the morning, etc, etc. Ah, and have I mentioned, that when the leader of your group dies, you are supposed to kill and bury with him a large group pf attendants (concubines, warriors, servants)?
These are quite ridiculous and extremely cruel beliefs when you take a serious look at them, by actually reading up on existing and undisputable archaeological evidence. I fully agree with you that historical accounts are often skewed, and that goes for both the outsiders' accounts, which tend to paint everything in darker colors, and insiders' account, which tend to present everything in brighter colors. Living people (the ones who leave written accounts) lie. Dead people (the ones that tell their stories through their bodies and their contexts) do not lie.
In conclusion, read up.
Otherwise, you will never be a pagan but you will remain a pathetic New Ageish wannabe.

Goth has nothing to do with Satanism, self mutilation, drugs, Marilyn Manson, school shootings, homosexuality, etc.
Goths are fans of Goth Rock. People who enjoy listening to Bauhaus, Siouxsie and the Banshees, and Angels of Liberty. People who like Goth music. Nothing more. Nothing less.

Then why are these sinful behaviors so closely associated with the Goths?

None of those behaviours are associated with Goths. This is a stereotype/misconception based on ignorant kids thinking the word Goth sounds cool and not bothering to actually learn what it means. Or based on what some crazy people like the trench coat mafia have done and they are not Goth. People who are not actually Goth cannot represent the Goth scene and we do not deserve to be slandered or attacked based on what people who are not a part of our community have done. The only thing all Goths have in common is liking Goth rock.
And I am not making anything up. I am giving you the actual definition.
- a genre of rock music that first became popular in the 1980s and is characterized by morbid themes and melodies.
- a person who is part of a subculture favoring this style of music and a dark and morbid aesthetic:
often not capitalized a : rock music marked by dark and morbid lyrics b : a fan or performer of goth
And my username is Ladyofmallow. Not marshmallow. It's taken from the name of a Gothic novel by Dorothy Eden.

No, none of those behaviours are associated with goths. At least not CORRECTLY. Stop confusing misconceptions and stereotypes with facts, please. Again, Goths are fans of Goth rock and that is the only thing they all have in common. It has nothing to do with religion, not Satanism or any other religion. There are some Goths who are Satanist. I will not deny this. I have friends who are LaVeyan Satanists. But there are a lot of people who are not. I'm sure there are people in almost every music scene with a vast array of different religions. Goth is literally just about music.
Most Goths do not cut themselves. That is the act of a teenager crying out for attention, not a Goth. The Goth scene is not rampant with drugs. Most of us do not care for drugs and do not allow it in our clubs.
Marilyn Manson does not play Goth music. Some Goths enjoy his music, but there are an equal amount of Goths who cannot stand him and think he is a talent-less jerk who ripped off and stole from artists we love & his poseur goth fans nearly destroyed our scene. His music sounds nothing like gothic rock.
There is no evidence that any known school shooting was perpetrated by Goths. There is nothing to suggest that these criminals listened to Goth rock at all and the Columbine shooters music tastes were printed and none of the bands were goth. Goths are for the most part very non violent and kind people.
Most Goths are in same sex relationships and marriages. There are people who are homosexual or bisexual within the Goth scene, but it is far from the majority. There are also people like that in other music scenes or who don't even have any specific taste in music. Rozz Williams was married to a woman. Robert Smith is married to a woman. David Vanian and Patricia Morrison are married. DJ Martin Oldgoth, one of the most prominent DJs in the Goth scene, is married to a woman. The Gothic model Lady Amaranth is married to the singer (a guy) from the goth band Pretentious Moi. My best friend recently got married to her boyfriend in a beautiful LaVeyan Satanist ceremony. One of my other best friends are a female fiddler/violinist who is married to the male drummer in her band. I am female and am married to a wonderful man.
Also, I am American. However, I prefer to try to spell things the way the English do because our language comes from them, so I would say theirs is more correct. It's also due to the fact that I have over 500 Gothic novels and most Gothic novels are written by English authors. And they are not porn. Gothic novels written prior to 1990, like Lady of Mallow, involve romance but not any kind of sex or real intimacy. They have a plot and do not need to add trash filler.
