Ah, The Funny...

God Hates Goths, apparantly.

http://godhatesgoths.com/

This site is hilarious, and sad. Full of ridiculously inaccurate stereotypes. You'll get a good laugh out of this, and wonder how anyone with 2 braincells to rub together could believe this stuff.

"Therefore, by the term "Goth" we refer to all categories of gothics, from black metal 'goths' to vampyre 'goths, from thrasher 'goths' to punk 'goths'. Goth is just a word the media uses to group a certain type of people together, as do we. We cannot have an organization called 'Parents Against Goths/Punks/wiccans/self harmers/thrashers/grungers/heavy metallers', because this would be ridiculous."

Actually, I think they should go with 'Parents Against Goths/Punks/wiccans/self harmers/thrashers/grungers/heavy metallers' because at least then their name would be as ridiculous as their organisation.

Other than that, I don't know where to begin really. It's so full of laughable stuff that I might as well quote everything.

Read at your own risk, because it'll probably give you the urge to want to bang your head into your desk repeatedly.

Oh whoops, there I go proving goths are violent and self-harm.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

The site *has* to be some kind of joke or parody.

Considering it's supposedly some guy from a Baptist church group, I wouldn't be so sure. They can occasionally be kind of whacked out.

Either way, it's entertainment all around. It's just really sad if he actually truly believes even a fraction of the crap on there, and lives in such fear or whatever of goths and who knows what other things he encounters in his life.

I can't tell if it's supposed to be a joke or not. :/ It could be, but I know people who actually think like that.

At any rate, I'm tired of this "God hates {insert group I don't like}." God doesn't hate anyone, and certainly not just because YOU don't happen to fancy them.

Apparantly when God tells you that he hates a specific group you happen to hate too, you're also conveniently allowed to forget all the rules and commandments and examples that deal with treating other people like you'd wish to be treated, and with kindness and respect and forgiveness and without judgement.

It's something I've always found rather ironic.

As for whether it's a joke, part of me thinks it isn't. Maybe a Google search can unearth more about the Baptist church he claims to be a part of.

Like I stated in another comment... either way it's entertainment all around, but it's just sad if he truly believes even a fraction of what he wrote there, and it's sad that he lives his life in such fear and ignorance. Life must suck if you're that scared of so many things.

Yeah, even if it is a joke, it's based on thing some people actually believe. :/

As long as he leaves satanic rivetheads alone...lol

People are so afraid. I have anxiety but little fear. I don't know if I'm too self absorbed to be afraid, if I'm not producing enough of some chemical, or if there's something wrong with them. Of course from my perspective it seems like it's them.

I just wish all these crazy people would move to an island dubbed Jesusland and keep their crazy away from us.

My theory: site was made by scene people as a joke. Soon every goth will own one of their T-Shirts. :)

[tanthe.livejournal.com]

Hehehe.

They should have made t-shirts that come in baby/toddler sizes too :P

Having looked at their cafepress shop (http://www.cafepress.com/godhatesgoths), I'm convinced it's a joke. I particularly like the "Goths are worthless cunts", "Goths look ridiculous" and "Goths are pathetic freaks" t-shirts. :D

WTF:

Appropriate Tag.

I did get a much needed laugh out of it. If he believes it, then he needs help. Seriously.

There is this sinister and evil part of me that wants to go and buy some ridiculous domain and do something similar. Wow... unbelievable. The fact that there's an organization that's called Parent's Against Goth astounds me.

I think the chuckle was good though :D

My favorite is that there's a cafepress store for this stuff... *snickers hysterically*

Interesting

It's nice to see Led Zeppelin and Pink Flyod still make it on the list of evil devil music. Of course, it's hard to be too concerned when it's music your parents listen to...

God's Hammer Church sounds like a good name for a WoW guild.

Googling on his church comes up with nothing. Other than that page.

the one thing i will say in the resources dept the video called "hells bells" is real. my parents made me watch it when i was a child.

i dunno if this is a joke, if it is *shrug* i feel bad for those who take it seriously..if it's not, well, just chalk one more up for the reasons why i stopped going to church when i was 13.
