nice touch on the Cho at the end.
The word irony comes to mind. Because the makers of this crappy video are using the exact same tatics that Manson uses to "get their message out" (whatever that even is!!).
Manson is a corporate money making machine. And I'm not saying that to try and downplay his supposed blasphemous rhetoric, just go to his website. Once you've gotten past the mass amounts of merchandizing, you may find his 'writings', which ultimateley boil down to him being an anarchist, and therefore you "shouldn't believe a word he says" (his words). I don't think he's even old enough to have an educated opinion about what he does or doesn't believe. He is simply profiting off of the fear mongering (which this video so beautifly illustrates) that much of the church has been breeding--especially in our children!! (reference "Jesus Camp").
I'm having a hard time controlling the anger that is seething in me right now because of this video...how can these people be so far off track?
ugghhh...i've got to go watch "the Exorcist" now, just to balance me out!
black sabbath, alice cooper, W.A.S.P., GWAR, the list goes on and on. What do they all have in common? Shock rock. Every decade has their shock rockers. I agree with lowendaction, MM is jus ta money making machine. He's a performer. Just like the shock rockers before him.
The problem that I see is that Christiandom tends to give them a lot of free press. Which I find a bit ironic. These people that ministers are "warning" kids about are doing nothing more than giving them more and more free publicity each time they have a knee jerk reaction to some "atrocity" they've commited on or off stage (Anyone remember the furor within the church walls overOzzy Osbourne biting the heads off of bats?)
MM is very insightful if you ask me. Especially his comment towards the end about christians having a lack of hospitality towards people like him.
I totally agree. If we sought to understand and show love towards people that are "at the opposite end" of where we are at (of course we're all sinners anyway, so is there even an opposite end to be on?) I think we'd get a lot further than banging the bible drum and trying to convert them.

ps. The Cho shot at the end was just assinine (pardon my french). Never in any of his rambling videos did he ever make a reference to MM.
Tying Cho in with Manson was nothing more than a pathetic cheap shot...
