John 8:11-13
Jesus said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”
Jude 1:17-19
But, dear friends, remember what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ foretold.
They said to you, “In the last times there will be scoffers who will follow their own ungodly desires.”
These are the men who divide you, who follow mere natural instincts and do not have the Spirit.
2 Timothy 3:1-5
But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days.
People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good,
treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God–
having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them.
Romans 1:28-32
Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done. They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, 30slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; they are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless. Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.
Marilyn Manson aka Brian Warner, takes stage by combining Marilyn Monroe with Charles Manson.
His last CD, “Antichrist Superstar,” was a critical and commercial breakthrough, as it spouted Manson’s views against “the fascism of Christianity.”
CNN article Sept ’98
Columbine High School shooters Eric Harris & Dylan Kleibold are said to have been “rabid fans” of Marilyn Manson.
Raymond Kuntz of North Dakota, whose son committed suicide says Manson’s music was “fearful” and “frightening” and that “the lyrics of this song contributed directly to my son’s death.”
Mike Carneal, another Marilyn Manson fan, killed three students at his Paducah, Kentucky high school.
Manson publicly presents himself as a follower of the Church of Satan.
Manson says, “I don’t think stupid people should breed, so in that sense, I’m pro-abortion”
“If someone wants to kill himself -fine, you know?” chuckles Marilyn,…”Suicide is that person’s option.”
