Does it make sense to be religious and goth? I get mixed results.

I've looked into the Gothic subculture and am currently trying know more and be better informed but I'm seeing that I can only be alternative and religious because it conflicts with goth beliefs and I've recently made it to the new testament of the Bible (aka Jesus) but when I see the teaching of Jesus wasn't he considered radical for his time as people hated him for his ideas and so forth crucified him now I will say I don't wanna be a poser or be considered a poser because I don't want to be offensive to anyone of the subculture but I also think people makes assumptions about me because of it (which I'm not foreign of that) so when I get asked what I think on LGBTQ rights it's like of course they deserve rights they're human beings and I'd say myself personally I'd never had a same sex relationship because of MY beliefs but if that's what other choose is best for them I can only love and accept them for who they are and they're are many other topics I would cover but I also like only woke up a few hours ago and I'm hot as hell down here in the south anyway I just want y'all's opinion on it because if I genuinely can be goth and and Christan I'm fine with just being alternative I just down want to offend the actual people who've decaded themselves to the subculture
Where are these all being reposted from? Reddit, somewhere else on the threadiverse? I certainly wouldn't mind seeing the community a bit more active. But there hardly seems to be a point to answering posts like these if those that posted them will never see
Perhaps a better way to promote activity. Would be to take these and use them as a discussion prompt. One a day maybe two. Mass posting will dilute any responses that you do get. As well as creating possible resentment and disengagement.
I think your beliefs are your own business. I swing between atheist and Wiccan depending on my mood.
If you are currently reading the Bible, then you probably figure by now that the Jesus portrait there was nothing like the one modern American Christianity portrays him as. He was Palestinian, Jewish as well as a socialist who surrounded himself by people who society pretty much shunned
I also have never been with someone of the same sex, not because of beliefs but because I'm not attracted to other men. If I was, I'd would have totally gone for it as I believe any kind of love, or lust is valid.
Hope that helps.
