I love Marilyn Manson. Even saw him play at Ozzfest once. I turned out to be a normal, well-adjusted adult. Hail Satan.
I was ambivalent about him (although I love "Fight Song" and "Beautiful People", gotta admit) until I saw him being interviewed and discussing the Columbine murders:
Reporter: If you had the chance before the murders, what would you have told Klebold & Harris?
Manson: I wouldn't have TOLD them ANYTHING. I would have LISTENED.
I respected him more after that.
.
If I remember correctly that was when Michael Moore interviewed him on Bowling for Columbine. He's a much more thoughtful person than people give him credit for. He's an entertainer, and he entertains. He's as normal as the next guy.
Aaron, there is nothing...............
Absolutely NOTHING, normal about Marilyn Manson !
Nope. But Brian Warner is
The person in this article identified Brian Warner as the person calling themselves Marilyn Manson. Look at this:
Brian Warner took the first name of a well-known glamour queen (
Marilyn Monroe) and the last name of an infamous serial killer (Charles Manson) to come up with the name Marilyn Manson. Other members of the band followed suit and chose similar names i.e., Daisy Berkowitz, Twiggy Ramirez,
Madonna Wayne Gacy, Sara Lee Lucas, etc. It was not enough, though, that the last names chosen were those of serial killers, but the names adopted are usually from serial killers associated with Satanism, child molestation or both. Our world has become so jaded and desensitized to evil that what would have been considered unbelievable only a few decades ago is now mainstream today. The fact that a man as perverted as Manson could celebrate serial killers and thereby glorify child molesters, murderers and Satanists and still attract a massive fan base shows us just how far modern culture has gone down the greased pole to hell as well. Governor Frank Keating of Oklahoma hit the nail on the head when he declared that Marilyn Manson is “further proof that society’s moral values continue to crumble.” Brian Warner states that another reason he chose the name Marilyn Manson was that:
“As a performer, I wanted to be the loudest, most persistent alarm clock I could be, because there didn't seem like any other way to snap society out of its Christianity.... The words Marilyn Manson seemed like an apt symbol for modern day America, and the minute I wrote it on paper for the first time I knew that it was what I wanted to become…”
Manson: Minister of Satan
For those who would be deluded into believing that Manson’s Satanism is simply an act to outrage, it is important to understand that his decent into Satanism took place long before he became a shock rocker. In Manson’s childhood, his inner hatred and rage toward God fermented into his embracing of blatant Satanism. Satan used this hatred to blind Manson’s mind to the truth and led Manson into being conformed to many of the teachings of Anton LaVey, who led the Church of Satan until his death just before Halloween in 1997. Manson would in time meet his diabolical hero and end up becoming a minister in the Church of Satan himself. Manson exclaimed:
Marilyn Manson & Anton Lavey
“No matter what time the doctor [LaVey] called for me and where he summoned me to, I planned to be there. I admired and respected him. We had a lot of things in common…In short, we had both dedicated the better part of our lives to toppling Christianity…”
After LaVey got to know Manson and saw that they shared the common interest of glorifying Satan and blaspheming God, LaVey gave Manson a crimson card that certified him as a minister in the Church of Satan.
Manson said:
“Near the end of our visit, he said, ‘I want to make you a Reverend,’ and gave me a crimson card certifying me as a minister in the Church of Satan…It was also LaVey’s way of passing down the torch…As I left, LaVey put a bony hand on my shoulder, and, as it lay there coldly, he said, ‘You’re gonna make a big dent. You’re going to make an impression on the world.” (The Long Hard Road out of Hell, p. 170-171)
