Is Your Child A Goth? *laughing maniacally*

Is Your Child a Goth?
Presented by St. Mary's Church**

Listed below are some warning signs to indicate if your child may have gone astray from the Lord. Gothic (or Goth) is a very obscure and often dangerous culture that young teenagers are prone to participating in. The gothic culture leads young, susceptible minds into an imagined world of evil, darkness, and violence. Please seek immediate attention through counseling, prayer, and parental guidance to rid your child of Satan's temptations if five or more of the following are applicable to your child.

-Frequently wears black clothing. [guilty]

-Wears band and/or rock t-shirts. [offensive shirts - guilty]

-Wears excessive black eye makeup, lipstick or nail polish. [guilty]

-Wears any odd silver jewelry or symbols. [guilty]

-Shows an interest in peircings or tattoos. [guilty]

-Listens to gothic or any other anti-social genres of music. (Marilyn Manson claims to be the anti-Christ, and publicly speaks against the Lord. Please discard any such albums IMMEDIATELY.) [guilty]

-Associates with other people that dress, act or speak eccentrically. [guilty]

-Shows a declining interest in wholesome activities, such as: the Bible, prayer, church or sports. [guilty]

-Drinks alcohol. [mmmmmmbeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer]

-Is suicidal and/or depressed. [too unbored to be depressed]

-Cuts, burns or partakes in any other method of self-mutilation. (This is a satanic ritual that uses pain to detract from the light of God and His love. Please seek immediate attention for this at your local mental health center.) [kinky-sex-scars count?]

-Complains of boredom. [see above comments to suicidal]

-Is excessively awake during the night. [bladder issues :P]

-Demands an unusual amount of privacy. [define 'unusual']

-Wears pins, stickers or anything else that contains these various phrases: "I'm so gothic, I'm dead", "woe is me", "and Im a Goth". [just ones that say "run along and die now".]

If five or more of these apply to your child please intervene immediately. The gothic culture is dangerous and Satan thrives within it. If any of these problems persist, enlist your child into your local mental health center.
