I think you are right on the "manson becoming a god" thing, but I think the song goes a little beyond that. He had a hard childhood that he still resents his family over, but he still realizes that he was loved and that they tried to do what they thought was right for him (even though that was trying to convert him into a "normal" person). So he was "the boy that you loved." But now, because of his notoriety and influence, he is "the man that you fear"... Parents are afraid of him now because of the influence he wields over their children. So in the video, he is stoned because they fear his power to corrupt....the same as what happened to Jesus, actually, despite Manson's (and my) anti-religious views. The parallels to the crucifiction of Christ are all intentional, meant to show that we always kill the things we love, because love leads to power, and we fear those in power.
