Dope Hat

@AnguishOfAnger Same thoughts. Strangely I never thought about drugs. Even with the "needle" mentioned in the song I only thought that he solutes to drugs to ease his pain caused by other factors.

@wayne* I recently saw a You Tube video by one of his fans who mentioned his desire to become the anti-Christ. As someone who believes that there will be an anti-Christ, I also believe it is highly unlikely that it will be Marilyn Manson. Here is why: Anti is a Greek prefix which has two meanings. In a book by Christian author Dave Hunt (who passed away in 2013), he explained it like this...

“The prefix “anti” comes from the Greek language and has two meanings: 1) opposed to, and 2) in the place of or a substitute for [See Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance, Greek Dictionary of the New Testament, p. 12; Webster’s New Universal Unabridged Dictionary, p. 2035.]. Antichrist will embody both of these meanings. He will indeed oppose Christ, but in the most diabolically clever way it could be done: by pretending to be Christ and thus perverting “Christianity” from within. Indeed, Antichrist will “sit in the temple of God showing himself that he is God” (2 Thessalonians 2:4). If Antichrist pretends to be Christ and is worshiped by the world (Revelation 13:8), then his followers are of course “Christians”. Not Communism but Christianity will take over the world, and not the real Christianity but an Antichrist counterfeit therof. Thus the great apostasy precedes the revelation of Antichrist (2 Thessalonians 2:3). Part of the apostasy is the ecumenical movement, which is literally setting the stage for a union between all religions and even influences evangelicals as well. An Antichrist “Christianity” must be created which embraces all religions and which all religions will embrace – precisely what is occurring today with astonishing speed" (Dave Hunt, A Women Rides the Beast, Pages 44-45).

I don't have a hard time believing this when I take a look at the state of the professing church today. Even though I don't endorse Marilyn Manson, I see some of the hypocrisy in the professing church that he takes issue with. Much of what passes as "Christianity" in the west has little to do with what Christ actually taught, but is based more on psychology, postmodernism or a mixture of both. On top of that, there is a false theology in the professing church known as king dominionism, which promotes the false idea that Christians are supposed to take over the world. If that is not a setup for "Christians" to follow the Anti-Christ while believing that they are following the true Christ, then I don't know what is. More info here: thebereancall.org/content/…

@wayne* The link I posted didn't work for some reason. Hopefully this one will: thebereancall.org/taxonomy/term/2/…

@wayne* Nope. Sorry, I am not sure why the links are not working, but they are taken from thebereancall.org

You should be able to find the info I was trying to share by doing a search for Antichrist in their search engine.
