Side note: I love the cat picture, super cute.lol
Anyway my definition of evil is someone that rapes and or kills someone in real life. Therefore from what I know Marilyn Manson does not do that so I don't think he is evil.

He's my boy! His name is Bob. (his full name is ridiculous)
I don't know if you can see it, but in that pic he has bird feathers in his mouth. Still think its cute? LOL

I understand your answer. IMO, Manson's "persona" is nothing but commercial. I bet when away from entertaining he's probably an average, cool guy. With faults and positives like the rest of us.

Your definition of evil is something completely different from what I would consider evil, and calling someone evil for killing another human being is not really a good argument. Personally there are no people that I would consider evil. People experience something evil and it isn't exclusive to the victim. Usually rapists have inherited something really bad from their folks or living conditions at an early age. I would say they understand the concept of rape, they understand that it's wrong in our society, but there is something that defies their sense of the act. That to me is the evil.

you know what, I have to agree with you on one thing. I was too general saying that a killer is evil. I do in fact know someone who is evil though. So I have to disagree with you on the part where you were saying that there are no evil people. I know this girl who has had a pretty rough past. She grew up with her mom having sexual encounters in front of her, using drugs in front of her, verbally abusing her. And how did she grow up? Using people, abusing people, beating up her own mom, started sleeping with boys from the age of 12 and on, etc. And what is she today, at the age of 30? She is the same thing she was as a teenager and young adult but only now she calls herself a "christian". She uses anyone and everyone she comes in contact with for money, sex, etc. She even uses her church goers as well. She beats up her husband, kids, and mom, She cheated on her husband before, She steals from people. I don't think I need to go on with that. The point I am trying to make is that in my eyes that is extremely evil. If I were a Christian I would think that Satan, Lucifer, The Devil, whatever you want to call him is using her as a puppet per say to do his dirty work for him. I don't know if that makes any sense to you but That is my honest opinion on this whole situation. Anyway I am done for now with my little rant.

He's not evil, it's a gimmick. You'd be surprised at how much a person can act differently then how the normally would or change their look to get the desired result.

Look at Galifianakis, if you look at how he acts and looks on camera these days, you'd think he's a crazy bearded man who should be on meds.

Go on youtube and look up "Late World With Zach". Clean cut, shaven, and wearing a nice suit and acting normal...

Pretty much this, and he even is willing to say it. The looks, stage-show, everything is to make a point and get people to look at it. Shock value and all that.

Watch any interview of him and you see a very calm, intelligent, well-spoken individual who is at most a bit eccentric.

that Marilyn Manson is an evil person? And why?

If you define the difference between a good person and an evil person by whether a person is born-again or not, I'd say MM is evil. He's a rock star, his life and music don't reflect the characteristics of someone concerned about things like repentance and godliness. He's more interested in being an anti-christ superstar than submitting in a local church and helping out on the evangelism team. He may change his mind though, God only knows.

If you define it some other way, you'll have to define your terms. Good and evil are measured relative to some criteria.

You're over complicating the issue. Enjoying secular music doesn't equal service to Satan.

No, over complicating the issue is to read something into the Bible that isn't there. There is no gray area. Either you serve God or you serve the devil. Listento it if you want, but don't try to lead others away from the simple truth of the Bible.

How do you serve something that you don't believe exists?
