I like Marilyn Manson. I am a christian, but I think the harcore religious people take music, etc too seriously. He is just putting on a show, he doesnt mean half of what he says or does, thats just show biz. I appreciate the sounds of the music, etc.

I don't think anything bad about him. I feel that Jesus loves all of us even Marilyn Manson. I feel that weather you are outwardly rebellious or inwardly it doesn't matter. I don't know what road he has walked in his life and I don't have any room to judge him, only the Lord knows if some day, even on his death bed, he turns his heart over to Him and I may very well see him in eternity.

I'm afraid I know of Marilyn Monroe; not Manson.

I see the message in MM's songs as criticizing the worst of Ameria's false commercialized culture.
So I would agree the underlying message is actually consistent with Christian and Buddhist teachings, warning against the ills of selfish material desires that cause human suffering, especially when taken to self-destructive extremes.
However, the presentation of this message exploits this very trend toward commercialized hype, so that monetary profit is made off the very culture being criticized. This irony is part of the art form, and makes a very strong statement in itself.
If more of the profits from MM's music went to charitable causes, it would be more clear that a spiritual life of "charity" is part of his purpose. Otherwise, he gives the impression of the opposite camp, and obviously makes a good living at it.
To this end, I have written a Christian message set to "Rock is Dead" by MM at http://www.houstonprogressive.org/reformation.html
If anyone out there thinks you can get him to record this for a video sountrack, let me know. I will gladly host a letter-writing contest and give prizes to whomever succeeds in convincing him to do so. If he's truly Christian, maybe he would....
"Reformation" to the tune of "Rock is Dead"
The message is simple
The Master you choose is
Mammon or God
It's either Jesus or Judas
You sell out your neighbor
For pieces of silver
Promising rights that
You never deliver
Indulgences for sale
Pay your way to hell
Laws - are given by God
Not - political fraud
Consent of the Governed
Is what we demand
The just power of Justice
Lies in our hands
God made people equal . . . .
Congress - shall not make our laws
Courts - ain't the Word of God
Congress - shall not make our laws
Courts - ain't the Word of God
The pressure of trials
Driven to drink
Thousands of lawyers
Paid not to think
Winning their cases
Losing their souls
Praying to Caesar
To seize more control
Anything is legal
Criminal is civil
Laws - are spoken by prophets
Not - by puppets in office
Freedom of speech
Is not a defense
When you've got to worship
The pope on the bench
Why aren't people equal?
Congress - shall not make our laws
Courts - ain't the Word of God
Guns - don't enforce the laws
Christ - rules with an Iron Rod
Congress - shall not make our laws
Courts - ain't the Word of God
Guns - don't enforce our laws
Christ - rules with an Iron Rod
The message is simple
The Master you choose is
Mammon or God
It's either Jesus or Judas
The Question in Life
The Way of the Buddhas
The Laws are all written
You know what the Truth is:
Laws - are spoken by prophets
Not - by puppets in office
Freedom and Justice
It's all in our hands
Consent of the Governed's
The Law of the Land
Rights - are given by God
Not - by government fraud
Freedom of Speech
Is what we demand
The Gavel of Justice
Lies in our hands

Any one of us true Christians are not here to judge but to love as Jesus loved. And to act as Jesus act. I"m tired of people bashing people because they are not chrisitians or how they don't act or how they do act. But I say as a true Christian God bless Marilyn Manson.

Think no. Believe yes.
God reveals, man observes.
The Christian knows what he/she believes. There is a book (actually books) about them.
I think therefore I am. Thinking implies existence. But thinking is based on observation. Science is the theories that explains the facts.
Now we come back to the book. The book that tells us that God existed before he/she/it created everything we can observe. To know God we must be able to go beyond what we can observe.
Faith.
So it is not about thinking, but about believing.

I hope that within his lifetime, he sees the error of his ways, and becomes Christian.
