My First Dissatisfaction Has Always Been With

Gradually, I Began To Resent Christian School And Doubt Everything I Was Told. It Became Clear That The Suffering They Were Praying To Be Released From Was A Suffering They Had Imposed On Themselves—and Now Us. The Beast They Lived In Fear Of Was Really Themselves: It Was Man, Not Some Mythological Demon, That Was Going To Destroy Man In The End. And This Beast Had Been Created Out Of Their Fear.

I Fall In Love With Everything I Also Hate Everything. It’s Very Hard To Be A Misanthrope And A Romantic.

The Difference Between Me As Brian Warner Or Marilyn Manson Is Just Words. Same Personality, Sensibility, Sense Of Humor, Behavior. He Is Me.

Donohue: "it Is Christianity That [manson] Hates, And It Is Catholicism That He Hates Most Of All. This Guy Is At War With Christ." Manson: "i Can't Possibly Be At War With Christ, Because Your Religion Killed Him And What He Stood For. But If You Want To Be At War With Me, Bring It On."

A Lot Of People Don't Want To Make Their Own Decisions. They're Too Scared. It's Much Easier To Be Told What To Do.
