No. Philosophy is simply study of the nature of reality. (However philosophy can either support or go against Catholic truth- there are good and bad philosphies.)\

There were many good Catholic philosophers - St. Thomas Aquinas, for instance!

Including "philsophy" as a Satanic religion is just another silly joke of that list.

I found it very amusing... and so did my mom.

Personally, I had some "goth" friends in highschool, though I never "put on the uniform," so to speak. I will admit, it's a pretty depressing sub-culture.

Anyway, on to the funny stuff:

St. Mary's, the supposed source of this list, is...drum roll please...a Gothic Church!

I really get a kick out of the Count Chocula line. That had me falling out of my seat!

I was thinking of you. You do wear black, don't you?

I am curious as to what you all think about the Gothic culture? I'm not too familiar with it and have not made any stable judgments about it. I would like your input. Thank you!

I used to be in a Christian Goth band Don't know what that makes me! (Matt Black was my [i]nom de guerre[/i] at that time and it's kind of stuck). I was an 'older generation' Goth (late 80s - Sisters of Mercy, the Cure, the Mission etc) and don't regard the newer ones as 'proper Goths'; to me their music is more metal than anything else and I can't stand Marilyn Manson

Yours in Christ

Some of these are serious signs, but a lot of them also apply most geeks (internet usage and rpg's) and college students (lack of sleep, alcohol usage). The list items should be weighted for this list to make more sense.
