Well there mate, there is this little thing I like to use called sarcasim. Now, I know that it isn't seen around these parts much, but the comment that you are thinking about there was just that. Sarcasim. The point behind it being that God and doseing up on drugs have NOTHING in commen with each other, unless you are A: talking about a differnt religoin the Christianity, or B: Part of some really weird Christain off shot cult. Anyway, I'm sure if you reread it, and note the comment "Nope, I just can't see it" at the end, then you'll understand my point.

Well, being around the goth scene for a little over 10 years I'm sure I have no fucking clue what so ever about it.

The ones that do are obviously a bit more hardcore about it, and therefore more openly opinionated. And maybe they're playing it up a little for you. Can't tell you the number of times i've been dressed up and someone makes a comment to me about it. I play it up real well.

In a lot of ways I still am goth. I've detached myslef from most of the scene becase, well, it's gone to shit. While I like a lot of his music, I blame Marlin Manson. His fashion sense is kind of painful to look at sometimes. The over all goth scene used to be a good group of free thinkers and a lot more in line with punk, now it's over loaded with Anne Rice vampire wannabe's who "want to be differnt just like everybody else" walking around in frilly black lace and talking like they are in a bad movie. "Fear me, for I am the night". I shit you not, one of these little punks said this to me. I almost pissed my pants laughing at him. Now, there are still a good number of old school goths about, who have nothing to do what so ever with these rathere amusing people that populate the goth clubs today, but they are not the ones I'm queastioning here. Wow, I'm really going on a rant on this one, aint I?

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA...
laughing with you, not at you... lol. Sounds like something I just said to a coworker not to long ago. For some reason it just makes me laugh haveing thouse words fired back at me.
Anyway, let me clarify a few things here so people are a little clearer on my stance. First, if I sound a little high strung here, it's be cause I am and elitist egotistical bastard, but my comments are in no way meant to be a personal attack on any one.
The Goth/christian clash as I see it is directed at the newer "fear me for I am the night" goth scene. It has been pointed out here that there is a lot of death/suffering/ect. in christianity that could make it apealing to the goths, but end message of light and love ect. of christianity once you get past the part of it being the worlds largest blood cult does not go well with "I wannabe a vampire" crowd.
Shit, I am tired and my brain is slowly melting down on me. I'll finish with the point counter point when I am more awake. But, I am really enjoying this convo. Till next time.
