Is it bad to draw heartagrams, wear black, read dark poetry , Listen to death Meatal, wear...?

Heartagrams- probably not good.\nWear black- sure, why not.\nRead dark poetry- depends on the content, topic, etc;\nListen to Death Metal- not good, but only because of the lyrics. They do have Christian metal.\nSpiked Jewelry- sure, spikes are spiffy!\nCrucifix as a necklace- sure, why not?\n\nThe Bible says: "All is permissible for me, but not all is helpful. All is permissible for me, but not all builds up. All is permissible for me, but I will not be brought under the power of anything." ~1 Corinthians 6:12, 10:23\n\nWhatever you do, do it in Jesus' name and for the glory of God. How you dress doesn't matter so much. But you have to be careful about what you are representing, and what you put in your head. There is nothing wrong with being a "Christian Goth", so long as you're a Christian first, and a Goth second. That goes for anything and everything else too.\n\nHope this helps, and God bless you!

I write poetry regularly, i am the only one who reads it but i find writing things down helps me organise my thoughts and when things get tough its good to get it all down on paper.  it stops it festering inside and making you feel even worse.  keep it all though cos its good to go back to in happier times

You like what you like...and there is nothing wrong with that. Don't make it out to be a bad thing, as long as your happy who cares what other ppl think...best of luck

Black reminds one of death, and is depressing. Some fat people think it makes them look thinner, but it draws attention to the fact that they are fat.

Okay....I was taking this question seriously until I read "That's why they wear a lot of black."  LOL\n\nI guess I should pray for them to stop being sneaky and wearing black.

It's just a question of the Hippocratic oath.  "First Do No Wrong"  Would you want to be stuck with a dirty needle at any time?  I hope you never have to find out.  Dying this way is very sad and not something to make fun of.

Don't do it FOR HIM. If you want to go Gothic that's fine as long as you are doing it for you, because You want To!  If he truly cares for and about you he will accept you for who you really are. Have Fun :-)

If you are asking that question, it sounds to me that you have thought about the fact that it might be cruel or degrading or that you are taking something serious like homelessness and making fun of it.  If you hadn't thought of all those things and just thought of it as a costume, I would say "fine, go ahead".  But you are obviously a deeper thinker than that.  I would venture to say it is probaby not appropriate for you if you thought it might be hurtful to someone.  But then again, I bet you already knew that.  Whenever in doubt, trade places.  Ask yourself how you would feel if you were homeless, poor, dirty, hungry, hopeless, scared, and cold and you saw a kid dressed that way for Halloween.  How would it make you feel?  Then decide if its appropriate for you.

Dark and heavy. I tend to like my music that way, too, to a certain extent. I just like stories to be more involved and not to have too much messing about with stupid quips and situations.

Basically it says do not be like the heathen that engage in such things. You need to set yourself apart from the world. If you already have tats, no problem. If you are thinking about getting a tat, my question to you is, why? What is your motivation? And don't say to witness to people with tats, because it is the Holy  Spirit that witnesses, not your skin art. Use your freedom in Christ to live a holy life, not one that pushes boundaries to see how far you can be in the world and still be a Christian.

you're ok, writing disturbing poems is not an indication that you need help... the cutting is more of a problem... keep writing what you feel and let it out

they're fine so long as you're not leaving them in constantly.  if you wanna goth out for a night or something that's fine.  you may get some minor gum irritation.

Is it wrong to do a smaller bad-thing, when others are doing what in your mind is the worst bad-thing?\n\nDo you want an answer that says it is less wrong to poke holes in your body to make yourself feel beatiful and to verbally abuse people, than to take anothers life?\n\nAre you trying to draw lines between far-away things in order to blur your perception of reality?

Wow that's pretty deep. I think you are a good poet. I love writing poetry too. Keep up the good work! If you get some negative answers on here just ignore them because some people will just try to be mean to hurt your feelings. Don't be discouraged though, keep on writing. You can only get better.

It's not a bad thing if it is what you want to do, and it makes you happy. As long as what you do with your life doesn't hurt someone else, then do what you want. Don't live life for everyone else. But be careful, because there are alot of crazy people that hate others for being different, and will hurt others. Be yourself, but be careful.

I always wear this black hoodie and I like having the hood up. My friends said I looked like the grimm reaper. My girlfriend knew this and so whenever I'm in the mood I just say "Death needs love". Also, I go around hugging my friends because it grosses them out that they're being hugged by a guy and I say that while doing that.
