Marilyn Manson (both the band and the man) is not a "devil worshipper," performs no sacrafices (human or otherwise) or rituals, does not promote or encourage devil worship, suicide, rape, child abuse, murder or any other harmful activities. None of these activities are
supported or encouraged in Marilyn Manson songs, nor are they promoted or practiced at any concerts. Sadly the meaning behind Marilyn Manson lyrics are widely misunderstood or ignored altogether. Here are two links to EXCELLENT interpretations of Antichrist Superstar. These have been compiled by Marilyn Manson fans, people who are very familiar with Marilyn Manson's music and have a lot more credibility than those who have only heard one song or have taken lyrics out of context. They also come highly reccommended by Mr. Manson himslef. ;)
Worms With Angel Wings
Songs of Golgotha
However, there are quite a few people who interpret Mariyln Manson lyrics in other ways, and I wouldn't be comfortable ignoring those- so, for another look at the same lyrics, try these pages:
