"Like you said, it's TAKING A TOLL ON YOU..I have a friend who watches Naruto so much that he now *Meditates* so he can improve his *smelling and visual abilities*. So you see how these things can tell a toll on somebody..
While it might not be a sin, it might be very addictive and dangerous "
I really agree, Tobby!
"I don't know how spiritual you are but
certain stuff can open doors in your life for demonic activity. How you dress is up to you. I personally have always liked the goth look. I am more careful these days about what I watch. I will say this though.....The fact you've asked the question may mean the holy spirit is bringing it to your attention. I'm not a goth myself. I used to be a skinhead before Jesus got a hold of me. Anyway it's your walk with God. I'd advise against watching vampire and werewolf movies though. Hope this has helped you.

Yes, exactly... It can open these doors...
"I don't think it is a sin. The guys who sacked Rome and inhabited Spain were not all bad.
My question is simply what are the redeeming qualities of embracing so much darkness? What is the attraction to it? Do you intend to grow out of it? If so, why start?"
I think the same... Why are you doing this? Any reason why?
AND HERE IS MY STORY AND OPINION:
Before, I was emo. But I was a christian too. I was saying to my self that I'M CHRISTIAN EMO, but like bible says,
can the light and the darkness be in one? And I understood that no... All these things were affecting me. That darkness makes me think about these things what emo are thinking.
And it must be something what makes you think and do all these things... Like for example me, I was without any friends and lots of enemies, my dad was living in another country, my mom was too busy that she could talk to me or be with me. All these small things, made me feel alone, I was hated so I started hating all around me too. All these clothes and hair cut. I was just to show how I'm feeling... And I thought that "I was christian"! But I wasn't because
LIGHT AND THE DARKNESS CAN NOT BE THE SAME!!! Your outside shows how are you feeling inside.
And all these horror books and movies. Why? Fear is not from God. Think about it.
And think, if the darkness and fear is around you, can the God of light and peace be your God? You have to choose...
I don't know if it's sin for you. You should ask God. Well, it was sin for me. It's impossible to serve two masters.
I hope that you got my opinion. And it is just my opinion. You have to choose if you want to listen it or not.
God bless you anyway. His protection is on you...
Ruta.
