Just one more reason NOT to go to Whitby,along with the middle aged teachers and Quantity surveyers dressed as vampires,the s**t bands you've never heard of and every pub and club in the town having "Goth" nights that are actually EBM nights.
Lovely town though.

Genuine question - do you think that Goth culture is compatible with Christianity? Even if one doesn't strictly identify oneself as a goth.
Be interesting to know people's views on this... I tend strongly towards the belief that it's not (not due to any great constraints of the subculture but to the constraints of Christianity and indeed the other Abrahamic religions).

How about gothic churches ?boudicca wrote:Genuine question - do you think that Goth culture is compatible with Christianity? Even if one doesn't strictly identify oneself as a goth.
Once again, it all depends on what you call "goth". In all cases, I seriously doubt it's consistent enough to be deserving of the term "culture".

I can't answer your question Claire as I'm not qualified/educated enough in the subject matter to make a valid reasoned response. 
But I will say, Ania ... after last Tuesday I thought you seemed more 'normal'. My mistake. You're scary. I bet you don't even need to search for this stuff. You subscribe to it on your email.
Goff chicks, eh? Don't you just love 'em.
<--- one each, no fighting.

Earlier I may have been inclined to give an unquestioning yes, but for obvious reasons my religious ties have become ever more strainedboudicca wrote:Genuine question - do you think that Goth culture is compatible with Christianity? Even if one doesn't strictly identify oneself as a goth.

I guess Goth culture is compatible with the more liberal denominations and, like everything else remotely interesting, is probably opposed to the more restrictive ones

in fact, one of my Turbojugend friends forwarded the article to me... I am just wondering. What songs by The Sisters OR Depeche are they going to play there?I bet you don't even need to search for this stuff. You subscribe to it on your email.
My suggestions:
Sacred or Judas by Depeche Mode!

BTW when exactly did Depeche mode become Goth then?

Seriously though, good point.... I guess having the Sisters as your support band means they're automatically goth? I dunno.
I wonder if they'll play Killing Joke's "Death and Resurrection Show" at the service....tee hee.....

I subscribe to Motz' point of view, although I'd say there's a marginally greater faction of atheists/agnostics, followed by a fair number of 'alternative' religions, the pagan/wiccan/earth-based denominations, as well as a handful of Satanist types. Christianity is probably in the mix, but to no great amount.

This "News" article really gets my back up, as I am a fervent anti-christian, and have bben for years!
After almost 20 years of being a *cough* "Goth" I am starting to have serious doubts about the whole genre and my place within it.
I do not normally "do" regret, but the times that are a changing.
Perhaps this topic deserves a thread of its own?
