have you ever read the scripture that you quote quote here? it says

"when they kept on questioning him, he straightenend up and said to
them, 'if any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw
a stone at her'"

a) there are some christian goths. goths come in all religions. goths
   have not nessesarily "turned their back on god"
b) this scripture says that Jesus taught to never condemn another unless
   we ourselves are without sin. and if one is human, one is with sin.
   therefor, by condemning goths for this terrible tragedy that we had
   no hand in, you are going against Jesus' teachings.
c) matthew 7:1-5 says "do not judge, or you too will be judges. for in
   the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the
   measure you use, it will be measured to you. why do you look at the
   speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the
   plank in your own eye? how can you say to your brother, 'let me
   take the speck out of your eye' when all the time there is a plank
   in your own eye. you hypocrite, first take the plank out of your
   own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from
   your brother's eye"

this tradgedy in columbine was not the fault of media, or music, or
goths. it was the fault of two boys, who had fallen through the cracks
somehow, and did something terrible. it is not going to help anything to
try and find a scapegoat.
