Marilyn Manson has an interesting background as well.

RE: When Religion Goes Wrong:
When has "religion" ever gone right?
For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; - Titus 2:11-12 |

RE: When Religion Goes Wrong:
I know that
 When I say religion, I tend to mean religious works that people do or enforce because they think it makes them holy. That was such a fundy response  hehe

I hear that. I mean, we don't want to be taking care of them orphans and widows or they'll get lazy! They have to be perfect before we'll give to them, and account for every penny, just like God did with us before He gave us any grace. But we sure do like that "polluted from the world" bit, amen? Behold, what manner of love is this, that Christ should be arraigned and we adorned; that the curse should be laid on His head and the crown set on ours. –Thomas Watson |

And we love defining "polluted" ourselves. Thus, I am NOT polluted by the sports channel I have on 24/7 or by my favorite crime TV shows, but you ARE polluted by listening to Stephan Curtis Chapman. Infidel. "Do not look so sad. We shall meet soon again.” “Please, Aslan,” said Lucy, “what do you call soon?” “I call all times soon,” said Aslan. |

RE: When Religion Goes Wrong:
Yeah, but I heard Katy Perry's parents are really supportive of her career. I was impressed by that.
