Is it okay if for a Christian to be goth and like vampires?

My Mother gave me a lecture on dressing in black and being interested the Goth culture while i still go to church. Saying that I’m not fully following my religion if I’m dressing and being this way

Answer #1

Since there are 100s (1000s?) of different sects of christianity, it pretty much is up to whatever your pastor/preacher decides. But I would think that a belief in actual vampires would be a no-no. IMHO

Answer #2

However, remember that she is your Mom and you do have to live there. Maybe you can work with her, assure her that you are not really going down a dark path, and reassure her. Sometimes, parents can be reasonable if you give them a chance.

Answer #3

Well It’s rather contradictory, and so are alot of things, modern Christianity is pretty tolerant. But being goth and into vampires is pushin it quite abit. Go with what your heart and conscience is telling you.

Answer #4

I’m “emo” apparently so and I like vampires and zombies but I classify myself as “punk” im not really “emo” but hey I kinda like the name lol. But I’am christian and has far has I can tell vampires aren’t like devil worshipping and stuff their just fictional characters. So your fine cuz’ I think god woulda said something about vampires and zombies in the bible as being bad or something. lol

Answer #5

haha yea. As long as I don’t worship vampires and believe in them more than God I’m okay. I’m a artist so Fictional creatures is were i get my most inspiration

Answer #6

Yeah their cool your totally fine :) when you go to those golden gates lol

Answer #7

It should be perfectly fine. If Christians are people of god, then they would accept you no matter what your look preference or interests are. If they dont then theyre not true Christians, just judgers. In my opinion c:

Answer #8

it’s my Moms fashion accessory I take it more seriously then her :P

Answer #9

yes it is you have your own opinion. im christian and i watch all those scary movies and hang out with emos

Answer #10

I’m pretty sure God wouldn’t mind if you’re interested in a certain color or certain fictional characters. I’m not Christian, but I believe that God is a symbol of love and does not judge….

Answer #11

I think as long as your heart is pure and you love and follow Jesus with all your heart then it doesnt matter what clothes you wear, what style you dress or what movies you like

Answer #12

I can’t see why not, it’s your choice !!

Answer #13

I don’t see why not. I’m a Christian I went through a phase like that. I wore black, black makeup, obsessed with the undead etc. Did it make me a bad Christian? No. I didn’t smoke, I wasn’t doing dru.gs, I wasn’t having sex with random people, I wasn’t worshiping the devil. There’s nothing wrong with dressing a certain way or liking certain ‘characters’ whatever you classify vampires as.

Answer #14

Dress sense and interests shouldn’t interfere with religion. Hey, it says that “a woman shalt not wear garments that belong unto a man” but plenty of Christian women wear trousers, right? She’s probably looking on a sterotype of goths being Satanists, and there is nothing wrong with being either of those things. As you are a Christian then she already knows what your faith is so she shoudn’t worry about what you wear or look like, as long as you’re comfortable with it.

Answer #15

When I said that I was thinking of what that lifestyle has lead to sometimes like satan worship and satanic rituals. I’m not trying to steroetype, I just want you to be careful. Satan the great deciever, lives to decieve you and pull you away from God. Just keep your heart in the right place and be careful who you listen to and what they are saying.

Answer #16

Very nice :)

Answer #17

read the bible all he does is judge he is the only judger it says

Answer #18

church law is right your a herotic god law most liky doesn’t even care church is a cult god is a mystical thing invisible to all and watches everything you do and suppositly cares church want you to enter in and hand forth your money or you don’t love god cause all knowing all powerful but can’t handle is bills with out your pocket book. church : must bring back more fallowers and spread the word of the almight to all you meet in order to save them from dam nation. god wants you to not do ten things thats all ten rules that he told a guy in the middle of the desert who had wondered for 40 years in a circle in that same desert..

so you tellme does it even matter what either think

Answer #19

Do me the biggest favour in the world girl and NEVER let ANYONE tell you how to dress or live your life, you are you… it doesn’t make you a bad person, never elt your parents control you, be the driver of your own car, one of the greatest things about my teens (I’m a late teen now) and what still is that I don’t care what anyone thinks of me, I’v had arguemnts over it bullying e.c.t but at the end of the day I don’t have any regrets over the way I dress/dressed because its sculpted me as an artist… I used to dress very extremely gothic and now I’v found my own quirky style

just please be yourself and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise ebcause if you do I promise you will regret it, life is all about exprimenting, beauty is such an illution these days, people forget that what makes somone beautiful is thier freedom and bravery x

Answer #20

yes it seems to me ok

Answer #21

Aslong as it doesn’t try to contradict the lord and its all make believe i suposse , but it does give worship to the devil that is unnessary because all bllod sucking , evil murdorous ideas where of his making !
