I am truly amazed that after all this time, religious groups still need to attack entertainment and use these tragedies as a pitiful excuse for their own self-serving publicity. in response to their protests, i will provide a show where i balance my songs with a wholesome bible reading. this way, fans will not only hear my so-called, violent point of view, but we can also examine the virtues of wonderful 'christian' stories of disease, murder, adultery, suicide and child sacrifice. now that seems like 'entertainment' to me.

More From Marilyn Manson

Violence never really deals with the basic evil of the situation. violence may murder the murderer, but it doesn’t murder murder. violence may murder the liar, but it doesn’t murder lie; it doesn’t establish truth. violence may even murder the dishonest man, but it doesn’t murder dishonesty. violence may go to the point of murdering the hater, but it doesn’t murder hate. it may increase hate. it is always a descending spiral leading nowhere. this is the ultimate weakness of violence: it multiplies evil and violence in the universe. it doesn’t solve any problems.
Hate Liars Lying
That the religious right completely took over the word christian is a given. at one time, phrases such as christian charity and christian tolerance were used to denote kindness and compassion. to perform a "christian" act meant an act of giving, of acceptance, of toleration. now, christian is invariably linked to right-wing conservative political thought -- christian nation, christian morality, christian values, christian family.

I feel that non-violence is really the only way that we can follow because violence is just so self-defeating. a riot ends up creating many more problems for the negro community than it solved. we can through violence burn down a building, but you can't establish justice. you can murder a murderer, but you can't murder murder through violence. you can murder a hater, but you can't murder hate. and what we're trying to get rid of is hate, injustice, and all of these other things that continue the long night of man's inhumanity to man.
Hate Night Men
I'm concerned about a better world. i'm concerned about justice; i'm concerned about brotherhood; i'm concerned about truth. and when one is concerned about that, he can never advocate violence. for through violence you may murder a murderer, but you can't murder murder. through violence you may murder a liar, but you can't establish truth. through violence you may murder a hater, but you can't murder hate through violence. darkness cannot put out darkness; only light can do that.
Motivational Hate Liars
It isn't possible to kill part of your “self” unless you kill yourself first. if you ruin your conscious personality, the so-called ego-personality, you deprive the self of its real goal, namely to become real itself. the goal of life is the realization of the self. if you kill yourself you abolish that will of the self to become real, but it may arrest your personal development inasmuch it is not explained. you ought to realise that suicide is murder, since after suicide there remains a corpse exactly as with any ordinary murder. only it is yourself that has been killed.
Suicide Real Self
Reading is everything. reading makes me feel like i've accomplished something, learned something, become a better person. reading makes me smarter. reading gives me something to talk about later on. reading is the unbelievably healthy way my attention deficit disorder medicates itself. reading is escape, and the opposite of escape; it's a way to make contact with reality after a day of making things up, and it's a way of making contact with someone else's imagination after a day that's all too real. reading is grist. reading is bliss.

I spent a lot of time with a real detective, a lady detective inspector who was the only female detective inspector in the whole of east london. she and i hung out a lot. she showed me what she did and i spent time with her. so, [she was] a lot of the inspiration for the way i dressed and sometimes the dialogue in those interview scenes where we're cross examining and questioning the youths and trying to get a confession out of them.

Science offends the modesty of all real women. it makes them feel as though it were an attempt to peek under their skin--or, worseyet, under their dress and ornamentation!
