: And underlying all this rant...
: Don't live by the way you label yourself. Even more, Don't label yourself. Be yourself. Be honest. Be creative. Be intuitive. Be kind, caring, forgiving, and compassionate. Think about who you are and live that. Forget labels. They are useless and distracting.

I agree with Bob, he's right of course.
What I am a little confused about is what is the definition of Goth. Is Bill talking about kids who dress up in black and wear dark makeup and hair. The same people who liten to somber or industrial music or is there something else going on here. Do they actually feel they are connected with something bigger than that (I mean outside of their relationship with God). Or is their identity with God taking a backseat to this post-modern Goth culture thing. How do the people Bill is talking about make their identity an issue. What is this gothic Fundamentalism? I think I am a little lost here.
Miss you Bill.
And everyone around here.
