That's a very good breakdown of the song, mosama - it being about his thoughts on god never even entered my mind.
However, another way of interpreting the lyrics is that it may be about him and his ex-wife Dita Von Teese. I mean, they got divorced for a number of reasons, and for all we can assume, it hit Manson pretty hard (whenever I listen to EMDM, I always get the feeling the album may have been shaped by their divorce).
So, if we assume Manson was cut pretty hard, then the lyrics can be turned around and looked at as though it's him saying his final words to her.
"i can get by now
i'm not really dead
but i really needed someone to save me
leaving me alone to die
is worse than having the guts to kill me"

An another note of interest, throughout Manson's work is the number '15' (http://www.mansonwiki.com/wiki/Recurrences_of_the_number_15_in_Marilyn_Manson%27s_music) - and when you consider that there's every chance this could be his last album, I think it's a great way to finish his career (if it is the end for Manson.
Meh. This song would've been wonderful when I went through a hard time with a lady friend not too long ago :P
I pretty much believe in your version. I cant see as much god as mosama eather.
