When you grow up in America things like Christianity waters down your feeling... When you're taught to love everybody, taught to love you're enemies, what value does that put on love?

More quotes by Marilyn Manson
There's days when I'd love everybody to relize that things have gone too far, and we need to be born again...but there are other days when I think the world deserves to be destroyed. Why should I help anybody? Everybody's stepped on me my whole life.
Marilyn Manson
Anybody intelligent enough to realize what America is, is not going to sit around and do nothing about it. They're going to be the same way that I am. They're going to be the same way our fans are. They're going to be pissed.
Marilyn Manson
There was definitely a lack of any sort of villain in the Clinton era, which is why when Columbine happened, it was easy to pick on me. My face was around and it made good TV.
Marilyn Manson
If a kid is old enough to drive a car or buy a gun, isn't he old enough to be held personally responsible for what he does with his car or gun? Or if he's a teenager, should someone else be blamed because he isn't as enlightened as an eighteen-year-old?
Marilyn Manson
I am the pedophiles dream, a messianic Peter Pan.
Marilyn Manson
People hate to describe their music. What we have come to call it is beat up your mom music. As far as describing what it sounds like, I guess you'd have to listen.
Marilyn Manson
In a sense, terrorism blossomed in the advent of television. Television promotes terrorism in religion and in politics.
Marilyn Manson
I don't want to have a gravestone. I want to have all my friends burn me and then snort the ashes. I think that's the only way to go out.
Marilyn Manson
My goal isn't to make money, it's to try and survive and make a point.
Marilyn Manson
Growing up going to Christian school and the concept that you're born a sinner and you don't really have a choice to change who you are has been hammered into my head and created the entire reason why I made art and made a band and made records called 'Antichrist Superstar.'
Marilyn Manson
I wanna die young and sell my soul, use up all your drugs and make me come.
Marilyn Manson
The record is about seeing death and growing from it, and in the end, being strong and being alive.
Marilyn Manson
Whether you interpret the Bible as literature or as the final word of whatever God may be, Christianity has given us an image of death and sexuality that we have based our culture around. A half-naked dead man hangs in most homes and around our necks, and we have just taken that for granted all of our lives.
Marilyn Manson
I chose not to jump into the media frenzy and defend myself, though I was begged to be on every single TV show in existence. They want to blame entertainment? Isn't religion the first real entertainment? People dress up in costumes, sing songs and dedicate themselves in eternal fandom.
Marilyn Manson
I did vote Obama. But I've never believed in the authenticity of the two-party system.
Marilyn Manson
I can't go to sleep at night if I didn't accomplish at least something. That's the one thing that keeps me up.
Marilyn Manson
I don't think that my lyrics are over-laced with profanity, because I myself don't speak using a lot of profanity in normal conversation. But I think when you're making something aggressive and you need to get a point across, if you're angry, sometimes profanity is necessary. It's better to use a curse word than to hurt somebody else, I find.
Marilyn Manson
If you really feel hatred for someone, and kind of send it their way, then it’s out of your system and in their hands. I always think it’s therapeutic.
Marilyn Manson
Nowhere in the Gospels is intelligence praised as a virtue.
Marilyn Manson
I spent hours flipping through the stations, watching Pat Robertson preach about society’s evils and then ask people to call him with their credit card number.
Marilyn Manson
