Is Marilyn Manson to Blame for the Columbine Killings?
By David J. Stewart
I truly don't like exposing anybody, it's not something I enjoy doing. I would much rather spend my time fishing. I do what needs to be done. Marilyn Manson (real name: Brian Warner) is a major enemy to the cause of Jesus Christ, and to young people everywhere. Why would Brian even want to be associated with such immoral people as Marilyn Monroe and Charles Manson? When you go around singing and selling shirts asking kids to kill their parents, you can't blame society for blaming you when killings occur by teens who idolize your music.
It is purported that the two boys who did the killings, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, where both followers of Marilyn Manson, and ran down the halls screaming "Marilyn Manson rules!" while shooting their classmates. Others have defended Manson's hellish music, claiming that the boys didn't listen to such music. One thing is clear, Marilyn Manson has openly encouraged killing in his vile immoral music. You be the judge if Marilyn Manson is guilty of influencing the Columbine shootings or not.
The following lyrics to Manson's song, KILL, KILL, KILL are presented here in their original form...
i don't know what is wrong with me, the person i use to know and love is no
Longer me. maybe it is my gun every time i look at it, it says-shoot me, shoot
Me, shoot me. ibeleive it has me under a spell , a spell that will soon take
Me to hell.i threw it away once but it came back the next day and shot me in
The leg and said fu** you.about a week later itryed getting rid of it again by
Burning it- but the next day it came back and blew my hand off and said if you
Ever fu** with me again i'mgoning to kill,kill,kill. i'mgoning to
Kill,kill,kill. (repeat for rest of song). NOTE: I edited the F___ word.
OzzyOsbourne once stated, "My music doesn't make people crazy, it just gives crazy people a vehicle to ride on." I think a much better way of saying it is that Ozzy's music gives SINFUL people a demonic vehicle to ride on. Marilyn Manson's music is as Satanic as can be be. Music is a powerful spiritual medium through which Satan influences people.
"Music is the strongest form of magic." —Marilyn Manson
The musicians themselves admit it, further evidenced on the Devil's Music page. Manson is also an official high priest in the Church of Satan, and has openly mutilated himself on stage, ripped up Holy Bibles, and spewed out blasphemies against the Lord Jesus Christ. If ever a man was demon possessed, it his Brian Warner (i.e., Marilyn Manson).
Psychological studies have proven that emotionally vulnerable teenagers are at a higher risk of committing suicide from listening to music like Marilyn Manson's.2 Most people can handle it, but some can't. If a teenager is having a difficult time adjusting to life, Manson's music is going to put harmful ideas into their head. Unquestionably, apathetic parents are mostly to blame; but Manson is also responsible in my opinion. Manson's music is like handing a loaded gun to a person who is suicidal.
Marilyn Manson is a disgrace to America, and a major threat to every family. If you don't want society to come after you when shootings occur, then maybe you shouldn't go around singing about murdering people. Manson's music is not art, and certainly not any recognizable form of legitimate music. It is trash, sewage oozing from the sewer, where Manson's type live. Manson brags that he is going to Hell in his music, and tragically he certainly will...
"In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power."
