I love marilyn manson's music! One thing that really bothers me is that why he chose to be an anti christ. Is it true that because he worships the devil he suceeded in the music industry? It was also rumored that his entire family including his daughter are also anti christ. Wether true or not, I respect his idealism.

MM has called himself the Anti-christ because he is in opposition to god. He isn't satanic at all. Yes, he is a Reverend in that fayth however, that honour was bestowed upon him. He chooses to not have a fayth. That fellow was right when he said that MM doesn't ahve a daughter and he was raised in a... I do believe Baptist (? could be wrong there?) family. He is opposed to the concept of god because in order to be religious we must follow blindly like sheep. We must believe in not just a efw thigns but the complete religion and follow it otherwise we will be dam*ed to h*ll. MM doesn't believe this is right. We are all given brains and thoughts and emotion and we should make our own path not blindly follow. That is what religion demands, that we follow blindly. He doesn't like taht so he labeled himself the Anti-christ.

creeps you? no... its jst a mere image... - nothings scarry inside it..
just like marilyn manson..
he has a trauma insde his soul, lurking in deep sadness not even a single light to reach... his doing such things just to find the missng pieces he got to look for. his partly schizo for he only believed a certain existence evolve around him which is wrong.. marilyn is good and he s talented but only the open minded people will appreciate him... and im one of those specially my sister. even if others may think its a sin to dwell a due for the anti christ... well i dont either, im agnostic too, and i will nderstand him why he did his path this way.. besides he got the name of music industry to its darkest hours to his feet, because he has his undeniebly unique style...

he doesn't have a daughter, but his family is actually christian and he was raised christian as a child.

You ask why...I can only assume MM would asking why the f**k not? The song 1996 on Anti-christ Superstar pretty much explains his artistic and philosophic POV, and I don't think MM has any children. "There'll never be enough of Anti-More...." - MM
