(Are Skull Shirts Evil?)

This issue started in middle school with my son, and when he would bring me a shirt like that to buy, I said to him, "find one where your not paying due to the devil, and I buy it.", or I'd kiddingly call it a satin worship teeshirt. I joked about it, but he knew I was also serious.

Because we dealt with it early, he knows not to bother to buy one now (17) or I'll throw it away, and I have thrown some garbage type clothes away (things with sayings on it that aren't nice).

Now if I could just get him to STOP listening to some rap music, life would be near perfect, but.....when I find those cd's they disapear, and he doesn't listen to it in the house or around us. We make him miserable by complaining and whining about it, he turns it off.

I can really whine effectively after 4 teenagers, it makes them go insane.

I believe that these tshirts and music are softening to the devil and pay him homage. And skulls are on ALOT of clothes now.

Of course I don't think highly of tattos, peircing or any markings but thats just me.

If you let the kid know how you feel about it and why, (talk to him like an adult) and then let him make the decision on it, maybe he'll make the right one, maybe not. Don't YOU buy the shirts or the bad music, make HIM spend his own money on it.
Then conveniently never wash the shirt, so he has to wash it himself, or if you see the cd laying around, hide it under a book or a shelf, maybe he'll forget about it.

You can always demand and say no, but that usually gets ya rebellion.

Its a tough world out there, and our kids are smack dab into alot of bad stuff our generation and the generation before have created for them.

This is not a parent, this is a psychotic, self-righteous bully.

Also: Spot the contradiction:

"I can really whine effectively"

"talk to him like an adult"

Why is this kid worshiping satin?

If skulls are evil, why did your god put one in everybody's head?

Actually, the answer is fairly obvious. To a fundie, anything they personally don't like, agree with, want to see or want to hear is evil. They have set themselves up as the supreme arbiter of what is, and is not, god-approved.

They usurp their own god and call it 'being righteous'. It'd be funny and pathetic if they weren't so damn dangerous with it.

Dude, lighten up. Rap music will not turn your kid mental.

"You can always demand and say no, but that usually gets ya rebellion."

You write that long, surprisingly-literate post, then blow the whole thing with "ya?" o.O

Also, if your 17-year-old son worships satin, he just might be gay.

Those white earbuds the kid is wearing now? That's the reason you don't hear him playing rap music in the house anymore. You won't find any discs either.

So, you're a whiny childish baby who sulks when you can't get your way. And you steal your childrens things and throw them out.

Sick person.

And you couldn'ty talk to a 'kid' like an adult if your life depended on it, instead you whine and steal.

Incidentally, I think your made up book says stealing is a sin. Fail, hell for you.

What is with fundies and the whole "As long as you're living under my roof..!" crap? I see it ALL THE TIME. Is it just monetary justification for controling other people?

LET YOUR KID HAVE A MIND OF HIS OWN!

At least this parent isn't suggesting kicking the kid out of the house for wearing a skull shirt. There's at least one person on that thread who thinks throwing a kid out on the street over a shirt.

We make him miserable by complaining and whining about it, he turns it off.

Or...

If you let the kid know how you feel about it and why, (talk to him like an adult) and then let him make the decision on it, maybe he'll make the right one, maybe not.

So which is it? Whine like a toddler or speak like an adult?

P.S. - Your son is going to leave home one day and never look back at his bullying, pestering, control freak of a psycho-parent. Did you know that?

Actually, you're on to something.

Don't buy all their stuff and don't do their laundry - it will force them to become independent. And once they're independent, they can get away from zealots like you. =)

We make him miserable by complaining and whining about it, he turns it off.

Thats real mature.

I can really whine effectively after 4 teenagers, it makes them go insane.

I'm sure it would make anyone go insane to hear a grown man whining.

If you let the kid know how you feel about it and why, (talk to him like an adult) and then let him make the decision on it, maybe he'll make the right one, maybe not.

Yeah, that would be the reasonable thing to do.

Don't YOU buy the shirts or the bad music, make HIM spend his own money on it.
Then conveniently never wash the shirt, so he has to wash it himself

I had to double check this, but I actually agree with this bit.

or if you see the cd laying around, hide it under a book or a shelf, maybe he'll forget about it.

And we are back to destroying the trust of a teenager again.

You can always demand and say no, but that usually gets ya rebellion.

But rather than reason with the boy, you whine at him.

I think you need to go to Saudi Arabia. If you ask them nicely enough they will slice off your head. You won't have a problem with skulls then. You won't have one!

Skulls are supposed to carry the brain, the seat of the mind, of thought, of intelligence... Hold on the last one!

@ Onan the Barbarian

I too have a problem with people worshipping Satin. I prefer Silk myself.

just take it all away and see what happens. Rap music isn't going to hurt your kids. I'm not that fond of but of course I'm 54. It certainly hasn't hurt my daughter. Neither has her tattos or piercings. They're teens for cryin' out loud.
