Marilyn Manson: Actor, Musician, Prophet?

I remember my friend Pat telling me that Marilyn Manson was actually really religious as everything he wrote was symbolic. I had a hard time believing him and consuming what he was talking about but now some of it makes more sense. The three albums he released in the 90s were a strange story. What I present to you are merely the facts that my friend Pat presented to me previously. The first album was Antichrist Superstar which featured a power hungry fascist president figure ripping a bible apart. The album goes on to feature such tracks as The Beautiful People, which is about the rich privileged individuals, Tourniquet, about a powerful individual who crafts his ideal woman, and finally theres the track Man that You fear, about a seemingly innocent individual who eventually rose to power and became the man what that is feared. Pat told me that this album was about a feeble individual who made a deal with dark power to rule everyone. This transformation is shown int he liner notes. The second album Mechanical Animals was essentially about the importance of gay rights, the violent power of the police and the popularity of drugs. The second album tells the story of an individual who is thrown into a reality show settings to become a celebrity. While that occurs the country drugs themselves to numb themselves from the stupidity. The third album is called Holywood, which is about a dark violent world where young people are disposed of while the the government takes advantage of them. The main character Adam Kadmon walks through this landscape feeling nothing until ultimately he kills himself. Now the crazy thing is Manson said those albums tell a story in a reverse order. Holywood, Mechanical Animals, then Antichrist Superstar. Ten years later Manson releases a music video for his newest album say10 with the title track.
(which takes place 10 years after Antichrist superstar)  The music video opens with Manson putting ripped pages back into a bible then ultimately ends with a decapated Trump. Oddly enough in the liner notes for Antichrist Superstar it says that it was recorded live in 1997, the album was released in 1996 alluding to the fact that the album takes place in the future. Pat always said that Manson wasn't entirely anti religion. Pat claimed that Manson stated God was dead in the way that Neitzche, meant it, which was an evangelical diluted over use of the word "God". Pat claimed that many who said they were religious were the the complete opposite to what christ stood for essentially being antichrist. Or so Pat said. I'm not saying Pat is right, but I am saying that it is very interesting.
