CN, in an exclusive interview with Marilyn, asked the rock star to explain what happened that so dramatically changed his views concerning Jesus Christ. Marilyn had always been dead against Christianity. "It was all the drugs and the coma, I suppose, that did its mystical deed to me" explained Marilyn Manson; dressed in a flowing white laced cape with nurses shoes and white socks with crosses printed on them. "The truth is, I died and went to hell and there was Karen Carpenter singing 'Do you know the way to San Jose' and 'Rainy Days and Mondays always gets me DOWN.' I freaked! Then I screamed GOD GET ME OUT OF HERE! And here I am. Filled with the Light of God. If I'm not oozing I'm losing. Anyway, comas upset me." Manson then went on to explain his philosophy of good and evil: "Good is a Snicker's Ice Bar, a warm bed and KNOWING what the hell DRUGS you're taking. These little rich bitches come to the shows and go back stage with me and hand me something that they say is crank and it turns out to be elephant tranquilizers and my entire body goes numb and I am no longer in control of my motor functions and these damn little rich bitches start biting me all over....well, it just makes my morning coffee and donut ritual a tad fuzzy. My definition of evil is simple: it's holding yourself back." CN then asked Mr. Manson how Jesus fitted into this philosophy. "Jesus did what he wanted." Manson explained. "They busted him and he didn't care. They beat him and he didn't care. They ridiculed him and he didn't care. They nailed his ass to a telephone pole to serve as bird seed and he didn't care. Jesus believed in his goal and nothing stood in his way but jealous rabbis." Manson wants to join the elite Christian committee: The National Bible Belt Institute; to ensure that his ministry will be excepted and perhaps his rock group can tour 3rd world countries where, Manson feels, his message is desperately needed. CN asked Manson what his new stage act would consist of. "Fire and brimstone" replied Manson. "No more ripping apart the New English Bible, no, no way. I want to work the audience into a zealous frenzy and, perhaps, begin shooting them at random."
