Not in an evil satanic sort of way, just in an honest, realistic sort of way, because I've been through some bad things in my life (social issues and mental syndromes/illnesses) and I am kind of dark. Not in a depressed "all-hope-is-lost" sorta way, actually I'm usually happy and playful, but I find even when I'm happy I can write some pretty dark things, mostly poetry. I'm very faithful and spiritual, I tend to focus on Jehovah, Jesus, and theology a lot. But due to my past I have the capacity for darkness, not in a way like I'm stuck in the past though, because like I said I'm normally happy. But sometimes I find myself depressed, mainly about love (the lack thereof) and my poor relationship with my mother driving a desire for someone else's love.

No. As Jehovah gives ALL of us free will to be our selves. You may want to change things for YOURSELF but not just for others.

There are some people with a dark disposition. For whatever reason they are drawn to all things dark and creepy. This should have no bearing on their choice of religions. However the tools they use to grow spiritually would be different than someone with a more up-beat personality.
Learn how to celebrate who you are and enjoy the gifts you have. Don't let anyone tell you how you need to be.
However if you do find yourself chronically depressed I would suggest finding a good counselor.

Read the Old Testament books of Jeremiah and Lamentations. That guy was very dark. Solomon had his dark moments too (he started a book saying "EVERYTHING IS MEANINGLESS!". King David had a lot of despair and doubt as well. It's not wrong. It's natural. Being a Christian isn't about being happy all the time. It's about struggling and persevering. Good luck.

Our experiences make us who and what we are. They make us relate to others in the way the makes us each different. Some you will be able to relate to I can't and same for those I can relate to.
It just make us who we are. What makes us the same is the faith we carry and how willing we are to be true to it.
Are you true to your faith? Do you live it as you are suppose to?
These are the questions that you have to answer for yourself.
But why is that faith important?
Where will you be on the day of wrath?
Take this simple test and see.
Are you a good person? What a question, most of us believe that we are good people because we can look around and find someone that is far worse than we are. We can always point to the things that we think make us a good person.
But how good are we really? Dare we take this test and look at ourselves and see if we really are good? Hmmm.
If you are willing try this and see just how good a person you are.
The Good Person Test.
How will you do? Pass or fail?
Have you ever told a lie?
Doesn't matter how big or small, just a lie.
What does that make you? Before answering think about this, if I told you a lie what would you call me? A liar?
Have you ever stolen anything? Cost doesn't matter, a piece of gum, failed to give back an ink pen that you borrowed, anything.
What does that make you?
Jesus said, "You know the saying of old, you shall not commit adultery but I say that if look at someone to lust after them you have committed adultery in your heart.
Have you ever lusted?
Jesus said that hate is equal to murder.
Have you ever hated anyone?
See one day we all are going to stand before a Holy God on Judgment Day and he is going to judge us based on His Holy Law, the Ten Commandments. These are just 4 of them and how did you do? Guilty? I have broken all of these and more, what about you? How well will you do on Judgment Day?
If we break just one point of God's Law we are guilty of breaking all the law and Gods Wrath abides upon us all. Based on God's Law we are all guilty and all are deserving of punishment. But there is an out for us.
Jesus paid the price for each one of us, took on himself God's Wrath so we wouldn't have to face it on our own. Jesus was beaten, battered, bleed and died so we wouldn't have to face God's Wrath. He rose again so that we would life in his presence. Our crimes, His payment.
The real question is where will you stand on Judgment Day. Pay yourself or have it paid for you. Think about it.

I find the Dark People more interesting, they have original
thoughts and ideas. The spiritually enlightened ones seem to
regurgitate text.

The Shiney Happy People Christians scare the crape out of me, to be honest. They pretend nothing is ever wrong and it seems a little unnatural. I'd rather hang out with someone real. That's the kind of friends we seek, and I think you'll be happier in the longrun too.

Oh my dear friend, some of the most beloved saints of history were very dark people.
There is nothing wrong with you.
