"Let's just say that Manson -- one of the most vilified entertainers in history, who has been accused of everything from causing the Columbine school massacre to being the devil incarnate -- has a lot to say on the subject.
 "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,'" he explained.
 "In any story, the villain is the catalyst. The hero's not a person who will bend the rules or show the cracks in his armor. He's one-dimensional intentionally, but the villain is the person who owns up to what he is and stands by it. He'll do the things that are sometimes morally questionable, but he does it because it's his nature to do it and it doesn't fluctuate. It's the fable of the frog and the scorpion, all those stories that just say, whatever you're going to be, stick to it in confidence. Don't waver or life will f*** you over."

I know where he's coming from, I grew up Catholic and that's what's drilled into your head all your life that someone died on a wooden cross to save us from sin and we have to go confess to some old dude our sins when he himself is back in his office molesting some innocent child. Also in the end all they want is you to believe in their words and want you to fork over tons of money to be saved. All of a sham!

If I have offended anyone with my comments I apologize but my life has never been peaches and cream. The Catholic Religion to me never saved my soul or made my life any better. Try going to a School full of Nuns who were more mean than a Teacher who's not one and see what its like! They were NEVER always nice.

Need to find a new religion

"The Endless (Destiny, Death, Dream, Destruction, Despair, Desire and Delirium) are a group of beings who embody powerful forces or aspects of the universe in the DC comic book series The Sandman, by Neil Gaiman. They have existed since the dawn of time and are thought to be among the most powerful beings in the universe.[1] They are distinct from and more powerful than gods, as gods are created by mortal belief. Dream is the main protagonist of the series, but all of the Endless play major roles.
 
The Endless are a somewhat dysfunctional family of seven siblings. They may appear in different forms, but usually have light skin and black hair, with the exception of redheads Destruction and Delirium. Their appearance can change to fit the expectations of others. When asked by Marco Polo if Dream is always so pale, the character Fiddler's Green replies, "That depends on who is watching."

I would post more but for any interested, there is the link.



I always say that it's not that I don't believe, I do, just not in God. Why limit yourself to one supreme being when the world and your imagination are full of so much more.
