ok, I'm not sure how to start this, but why do some people worship the devil? Is there a reason to worship the devil or something?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

thanks.

Is there reason to worship anything?

Woah, bit harsh don't you think?

Goths don't worship the devil. Only a few cults with about 10 members do. :)

Woah, bit harsh don't you think?

no. I've never head of devil worshiping being accosiated with goths.

 

 

 

Wicca ocassionally (common misconception), but not goths.

MOst goths don't actually worship the devil. Most people jsut do it for attention.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

EDIT: yay 700 post count

So for a common misconception, he belongs in the rubbish bin and should kill himself?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Unless rushrock was making a joke, seeing as though we are talking about goths...

Woah, bit harsh don't you think?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Meh, well at least he's answering the question. Gross generalizations such as

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"If you are a goth I would like you to tell me why you worship the devil. "

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

make people angry and sinful, and bring them closer to the devil.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It is, in fact, the Christian right which has done more to drive people toward "Devil worship" than any other organization. By labeling almost anything that goes against societal norms as demonic, evil, sinful, etc. they isolate young people and divide the world into "Good and evil". Though many denominations of Christianity are accepting and aren't guilty of this, the majority actually contribute to the "Legions of the damned."

Fair enough, he made a grossly wrong stereotpying of goths, but i'm sure we all connected black with the devil at one point? Perhaps we should find out if the topic starter is a young 'un, or just stupid before telling them to kill themselves?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And splat, i thought you were a pretty intense Christian?

well All over my school people are saying that goths worship the devil, if that isn't what they do, what are they exactly?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goth_subculture

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That covers it I think, at least to the extent that most people follow it for (to fit in with a trend)

but i'm sure we all connected black with the devil at one point?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Darkness and evil have always gone hand in hand. The fear of the unknown. But there are people who dress in a style that could be described as "Goth" who are christians. Many are athiests. Many are wiccans. I'm sure quite a few consider themselves some form of "Satanists". It's just clothing, which in this case has nothing to do with religion.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On the other hand...What is satanism? Is it some cult, or is it simply self-indulgence? According to the Christian bible, we are all pretty much devoted satanists. We don't follow the rules laid down in the bible on what to eat, how to pray, and how to remove material possesions from our lives. I assume everyone posting here is on a computer which costs hundreds of dollars.

And so to someone who obviously knows little about Goth culture, they would see the black and compare it to darkness and evil, as you say.

Not even LaVeyan Satanists worship satan. LaVeyan Satanism is more of a philosophy of how to live your life which means indulging in the good, pleasurable life, basically.

Which is something closer to what Aristotle put out in the Nicomachean Ethics 2400 years ago... LeVay actually borrowed more of his ideas from a more modern philosopher; Neitsczhe. He made a bold argument for going against the grain and discovering things for themselves, such as sexuality or religion, rather than accepting that of the masses.

im intrested to know what you people think of when you hear the word satinism, before i throw around wild accusations.

 

 

 

(btw most goths dont worship the devil)

well All over my school people are saying that goths worship the devil, if that isn't what they do, what are they exactly?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It's not what, it's who.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"Goths" is the stereotypical label given to people generally based on their choice of clothing - black clothing, chains, piercings, [bleep]es and etc.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As fair as I know, there are about as many "Goths" who worship the devil as there are normal people.

OK, I am incredibly stereotypical and ignorant and would probably think someone was Goth according to the above. I didn't know goth was actually a subculture as such, I thought it was just another sad category/label that people put themselves into in terms of what clothes you wear and what music you listen to.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I wouldn't have said they worship the devil though, I don't really believe these people exist and if they say they do, it is just a farce. My opinion entirely by the way... no fact in there at all.

Yea, and they were born in England and migrated to the US. Bloody British. :P

nice one sentence thread :roll:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Goths: Children screaming quietly for attention.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

They like to say they want to be an individual, or don't want to be a part of the "social expectations of beauty and dress", or want to express their own style..etc etc blah blah blah

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

inn reality (IMHO) the guy with the bright red mowhawk just does it for shock value, thus wants the attention...think of it as a silent scream of "please notice me!".."somebody look at me"....and then they pretend to be mad when they get made fun of..what did you expect? you have 30 metal devices shoved through your face and bright red hair with green tips?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Goths are alos those who feel they don't fit in, so they go extreme so they can belong somewhere...with the other "misfits".

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

once again, it is a scream for attention. SOmebody just needed more huggz growing up :XD: :ohnoes: :uhh:

 

but i'm sure we all connected black with the devil at one point?

Another person who's got the Word of God all wrong and mixed up again.

I don't understand why anyone would worship Satan. By worshipping Satan, you're acknowledging that God does infact exist and thereby you are automatically going to Hell, soooo...Why would you even bother...?

Some types of Satanism don't believe in the same Satan as in the Bible.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The biggest branch of satanism, Laveyan satanism believes that you are a god and doesn't believe in any deities.

first off id like to say, WHY DO YOU CARE! second: if thats how they want to be why do you care, and, some belife in the devil because they want to, not to fit in, not to be cool but because they want to.....if they think they are being cool by worshipin the devil, they are wrong, because they are probly on of the least cool people, but really, who cares, they want tobe like that, let them

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

if you want people who really worship satin check the black metal band Mayhem

The Goths sacked Rome.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Most of them were devoutly Christian, under King Alaric.
