There are a lot of dysfunctional fads among youth and emo is hardly the only one.
I wonder how many Christians who are seriously upset with the emo movement are equally serious about trying to get the gospel to the people being drawn into it? It’s easy to take pot shots from behind a comfortable keyboard. Jesus Christ willingly yielded to being violently mutilated and sacrificed on a cross. If anyone can sympathize with every woe, this is it.
I dunno. Ask a priest. My argument had nothing directly to do with Christianity. Since atheism, not Christianity is a significant issue part and parcel of the Emo issue, I brought it up. A relevant topic to the discussion. Christianity is not as the majority of Emos are demonstratively anti religious. I also brought up drug use, nomo/bisexuality, crime, self mutilation, lying, broken homes, and a dozen other issues even more of a problem. But two posters on this thread seem to want to make this about Christianity. You care to explain why that is?
Likewise, the original topic of the thread, murdered Emo kids, has squat to do with other subcultures of kids so what exactly is the point in bring them up here? They are not relevant to the discussion. At all.
