Do any of you actually know what the Gothic Religion is?

Goth is not a religion. 🙄

All I can say is that the religion sounds very dark and depressing. Also, the Germanic Satanist Bible is not the authoritative Word of God and should not be followed so fervently.

You thinking of Tiwaz? or Yiriz?

Goth is not a religion. This has been mentioned before, but I think it's so important, in the context of this thread, that it bears repeating.

Think, people. The goth movement doesn't have any official headquarters, and official leaders, or any official doctrine. But it has a religion? Ha ha, no.

Gothic Christianity refers to the Christian religious beliefs of the Eastern Germanic, or Gothic tribes that overran the Western Roman Empire in the Fifth Century.

I was thinking of them, but I had thought I couldn't possibly be right. Thanks for clearing that up.

I would say that your belief is a cult. Before your belief can become a religion, it will have to be recognized by a large number of people.

which it has, not as many as christianity but...

I and alot of true goths out there are trying to rebuild it after mileniums of suppresion and twisted underground views.

Milleniums ago the Gothic Religion was spread across the whole of Eastern Europe but was suppressed because it meant less money for the government!

See my above post!

Three syllables constitute "big words," do they? Well, maybe for some people.

Gothic Christianity was repressed because it was a heretical sect that denied Christ's divinity and the doctrine of the Trinity, not because it meant less money for the government. Are you talking about something else?

syl·la·ble

sounds like a scam

Like so many other Christians back then, some with far nicer, or or less nicer (yeah, I know) views then this particular group.

Well, not an organised religion, certainly.
