Many Christians only learned of the GOTH (or GOTHIC) subculture recently, after the tragic Columbine shootings. The liberal media, which sells and spreads GOTHIC images, played down the GOTH aspect of the shootings. They wouldn’t want to hurt record sales or MTV ratings, after all. So they tried to convince us that the GOTHIC cult is isolated, unimportant, and that it was some nebulous set of "other factors" that turned those boys into black-clad, makeup-wearing instruments of death.

Right. And if you believe that, you probably think the New World Order is just something George Bush made up in a speech.

The fact is, GOTH culture is not isolated, and it is certainly not harmless. In fact, it is fast becoming the dominant youth culture in America, led by such so-called "artists" as Marilyn Manson, Rammstein and the open homosexual Elton John, and by GOTHIC television shows such as BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER and SOUTH PARK.

Fortunately, not all of us are willing to let the GOTHS take over our children’s minds. Even before the Columbine shootings, Parent's American Religious Organizations Defending Youth (P.A.R.O.D.Y.) was on the case, alerting parents to the dangers of GOTH culture, SATANISM and WITCHCRAFT (called "WICCA" by initiates). For example, even before college students Michael Williams, Joshua Leonard, Heather Donahue disappeared, we had protested to the dean of Montgomery College that WITCHCRAFT was being taught to students. Had our protests not been callously ignored, those children might be alive today.
