I agree with the above statements. Angst can be compelling if it is treated correctly and written well.

Hey! Goth chicks are hot! Or at least, the ones that aren't bulimic. Or overweight. Or have crappy tattoos. Or...

Faith is what credulity becomes when it finally achieves escape velocity from the constraints of terrestrial discourse- reasonableness, internal coherence, civility, and candor. Thus, the men who commited the atrocities of September 11 were neither cowards nor lunatics of any sort, but Men of Faith- perfect faith- and this, it must finally be acknowleged, is a terrible thing to be.

Yeah I dont think you are! That is unless you were beaten down by a bulimic Goth chick with bad tatts, and then her unhealthy goth friend smacked the taste out of your mouth.
