"Murderers listen to Marilyn Manson, thus Marilyn Manson is a cult"
Jeremy said that to me. Yes, Jeremy. My naive, little Christian friend, no doubt indoctrinated by the devil incarnate himself, Rev Kong Hee
*Side note: His exact words. How the hell can a person be a cult?"
Me: No, he's not!
Anway, Jeremy sez to me, he sez "Do you know about the Columbine High School shooting?"
Me: yes
Jewemy (sic):Did you know that the killers listened to Marilyn Manson?"
me: yes
Jewemy: That means they area cult. Before they started killing people, them shouted marilyn manson lyrics
I felt like slapping that cute boy silly.
1) Just because someone listens to a Marilyn Manson, then goes and kills people, does not mean that the music had anything to do witht the murder. If a murderer listened to Elton John, and started to kill people, does that mean that Elton John encourages people to kill? The church would say yes, seeing as to how he is gay and all. You know the church, always willing to victmise things that make them uncomfortable. (see disclaimer)
2) First person accounts of Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold's friends revealed that they DID NOT listen to Manson, and in fact, they sorta didn't like him.
Number 2) brings me to a new point: The willingness of Christians (or other religious zealots), to accept anything their "leader" says, without any backing of evidence. Damn, they tick me off.'
I'll leave you with this from Manson:
Gaze upon the face of evil!!(see disclaimer)

I'll leave you with this from Manson:
"MANSON SAYS THAT HE WILL "BALANCE MY SONGS WITH A WHOLESOME BIBLE READING," AND HOPES THAT THIS WILL PROMPT FANS TO "EXAMINE THE VIRTUES OF WONDERFUL 'CHRISTIAN' STORIES OF DISEASE, MURDER, ADULTERY, SUICIDE AND CHILD SACRIFICE..."
