LOL. I was in high school before they called goth, goth. But there were
still kids who wore black and smoked and did that kind of thing. Most of
them were into heavy metal and professed things like satanism. So the
idea that they would be scandalized by mere atheism is rather laughable
and hard to believe. Are you sure this wasn't a christian girls school
you went to by mistake?

"It is fashionable to wax apocalyptic about the
threat to humanity posed by the AIDS virus, 'mad cow'
disease, and many others, but I think a case can be
made that faith is one of the world's great evils,
comparable to the smallpox virus but harder to
eradicate." -- Richard Dawkins
