How does it help? Their proceeds don't go to feed the homeless, their boards don't encourage people to volunteer, all it does is give a place for Christian gloom cookies to come together and perpetuate each others' beliefs.

It provides emotional support for those who are feeling alone, lonely, and confused about both their faith in Christ -and- their love of the Goth subculture.

As far as I know, there -aren't- any proceeds, because they don't sell anything.

No, but if one is a Christian, then it -will- become an issue one way or the other.

If you don't like the site, then don't go to it.

Just a bunch of idiots who aren't satisfied with the love of their creator, so they band together trying to fill eachother's emptiness with the 'misunderstood darkness' of 'goth'... just a bunch of gloom cookies with a splash of religion. Nothing more.

Duane: Like I said to Solumina, if you don't like the site, then it's obviously not for you.

Duane: Well, it's the truth. You don't like the site? Then don't browse it.
It's really a very simple philosophy. I don't know what's so hard about it.

I don't know what's so hard with coming up with something better than that 'If you don't like it, don't blah blah blah' shit you see every single day on Youtube.

If Duane doesn't like the site, he shouldn't enter it and complain about it.
If you don't like Duane's opinion, you shouldn't read it and complain about it.
It's hard to not have double standards, huh?

GJ: It's a good thing we aren't all physically in the same room. That's all I'm going to say.

It takes a little man to insult a woman's weight. A very little man. Teeny, tiny, eensy-weensy man.

Resorting to that? Lame... well, it takes a totally unladylike woman to make 'subtle' threats on the internet.

But it says nothing of the goth subculture, only their misconception and the only support that can be gained from that site is a reaffirmation of something that you already believe in

The do sell things, I didn't get past the FAQ but even that mentions the shirts that they sell

Out of curiosity what volunteer work do you do?

I followed a link claiming that "happy goths do exist" which happens to be a statement that I agree with, I thought maybe it would have something fun, instead I ended up at a website that appeared to have nothing to do with the subculture I am a part of and it was rather depressing for me to read. I don't plan on going back to it but what has been seen cannot be unseen and I see no reason why I cannot comment on what I have seen.

Or just a man who wants to take a hilarious cheap shot.

Or just a man who genuinely believes respecting a woman solely for her gender is fucking sexist.

True, sorry Tam but if you're fat then you're fat, either accept it or fix it. By the way if you weren't such a raging bitch then I doubt anyone would comment on your weight, there are plenty of other members who are less than slender and I don't really see anyone poking fun at their flab.

What, you think that because you have a certain set of genitals that you're entitled to special treatment? I got news for you...

I'm pretty tubby. Technically, I'm obese. Only by one pound, but still...
On the up-side, I weigh 15 pounds less then I thought I did.

You shouldn't lightly label anyone nuts, it's not cool.

I've never even noticed anything that could be called Christian imagery in anything goth.
Maybe I'm strange?
Or, perhaps I don't look hard enough...
I just never thought that goth had anything to do with religion.
