That was most likely the whole idea. Hell, my husband thinks that some snarky (and pretty smart he thinks) "goth" dude did it just to get a reaction.

It's these friends of mine that are all huffy over it. Now they're saying that the "disclaimer" thing on there was "just put there to cover their asses, whoever is putting on that disgusting web site".

*?!?*

I am like.... er... Ok. I said to 'em....."Think whatever yous want. I'm just sayin' that yous might wanna go back to yellin' at Rev. Phelps and Jerry Fawell or whoever yous were yellin' at before all this. At those those monsters actually exist."

They are really nice folks and all, but damn... they sure seem to get off on getting all huffy about stuff like that.., especially the men of the group. See, they're what you call "Christian Goths" or whatever (hey, fine with me) and they don't like crazy fundamentalists and crazy Southern Baptist-types raggin' on 'em. That makes 'em really mad. I know that Rev. Phelps REALLY gets 'em crazy. Can't really blame 'em! I don't care for that kind of crazy fundy talk either. But anyway, I digress. I knew right off the bat that it was nothing but a spoof and not serious. So did my husband.

This website has to be a joke...on the whole "what people on the street say" thing, one guy claims to have worn 100 condoms and still getting an STD from a goth chick. I like this website.

If it was already established as a joke, my apologies.

I am so mad at this site, I've decided to perform a point-by-point rebuttal against the site, and any help would be appreciated like facts and sources. I hope to have it done soon; I have the section Goth - The Facts almost done and a little work on the "Goth terrorists" section. It won't be a "FUCK YOU LOSER" sort of thing; it's going to be a smart witty prod at them.

It's a satire site. The person who created it knows everything is stupid, that's the point. Don't send him anything, that would just be useless and kind of embarassing.

I think someone should put on the title that it is a satire site.

Funny story, in my Sociology class, we were just learning about the religious fanatics that go around looking for things to hate and creating a website about it. 80% of them are relatives of a man named Fred Phelps, minister of the Westboro Baptist Church that originally started as, "Godhatesfags.com" then when they got enough publicity, they started creating other "Godhates(blank)" websites. They've even managed to come up with reasons for creating, "Gothatescanada.com"

Yes, that web site IS a spoof as I (and I think a few others) have mentioned before. However, since you bring up Fred Phelps and his hilly-billy family, this kook seems have the absurd belief that "GodHatesEverybody" but him and his inbreds. He is a bona fide wacko.

Over 30 years ago a woman named Dorothy Retallack conducted experiments using music, plants and their combined environment. These results are famous. Taking two identicle sets of plants in two separated but identicle rooms, she exposed them to music. The first set of plants were played quiet placid subdued devotional "religious" classical music, while the other set were subjected to loud aggressive rock music played at full deafening volume 24 hours a day. The plants exposed to rock grew away from the music source, withered and died, while the plants that were played religious music grew towards the music source and thrived.

The lesson? If rock music attacks and kills plants, what does it do to people? I think it's rather obvious - it does the exact same thing!


Am i the only person who thinks this is hilarious not to mention absurb and just lame.

I can't believe you guys couldn't tell it was a parody site right off the bat. xD
I saw that site a few months ago; my boyfriend and I find it hilarious (and I'm not one to be humerous). We're ordering shirts from there one day. xD
I'll be getting the Vampires Suck raglan tee. It's hilarious. http://www.cafepress.com/godhatesgoths.101591535

Smooth move hunny. But still, it was a good thing you were going to do. At least I think it was.

These people believe in a god that most likely does not exist and use that belief to spread hatred of others they cannot understand based on the narrow-mindedness of their faith. Wonderful.

What dissapointed me is that one of my friends stumbled across it and thought it was real and sent him an e-mail correcting differnt thing. He replied, and she thought she was making him look like and idito when really...the joke was all on her. *sighs*
It was horrifying to see her post it up as a journal on dA and then see all the replies. Only one other person bothered to tell her it wasn't real. Everyone else was getting all huffy.

I still can't believe how many people think it's real. @_@

Looks like we should ask Fred Phelps whether eating shrimp is a sin and i notice too that the bible says to cut off the hand if it causes one to sin as well as supporting slavery in Lev. 24-25{an evil that no one supports today},as well as saying that those who work on the sabbath should be killed EX 35:2,and i notice also it says that burning a bull on a altar is pleasing to the lord and that you won't enter heaven if you have a defect in your sight(i swear i have to wear glasses,is there some wiggle room?).

Sorry.
The whole thing stinks of parody, although the sad part is the fact that if there weren't actually people who made "serious" websites like this nobody would ever even question if it was fake. I know it sounds like a stupid, obvious statement, but I guess what I'm trying to say is that it wouldn't be so much of a stretch for somebody to think this was earnest.

Haha, that's hilarious. It seems like it was either written by "Rev" RG Green, or some goth with a very good sense of humor. I know some of you are offended by what these guys are saying, but the whole thing is so out there, it's comical. I'm almost considering writing my own outlandish "horror" story just to see if he actually prints it -I'm sure he get's objections from the gothic people all the time.

This whole gothhatesgoths site is a joke, those who take it seriously are incredibly naive.

Sure is a lot of hate on the internet. I think that people who are afraid to express themselves in person, or even to use their real names, such as required for traditional submissions, feel that they can be anonymous in cyberspace. At first, I was hoping the first post on this topic was satire, but even if so intended, it's really not funny at all. Some people take such crap seriously.
