Is it wrong to listen to Marilyn Manson if you're a christian?

No. It's not wrong. Those who might see it as wrong would be conservative christians, and they believe what it says in the bible and it says nothing about Marilyn Manson in there, does it now?

Marilyn Manson is satanist, meaning he believes in a religion that has ideas completely different from the christian ideas. On top of that, satanism is also about dissing christianity, because Satanists think Christianity is a bad religion and that it's wrong to believe it.

But Marilyn Mansons MUSIC however, actually has a point you should hear. A minimal part of his songs are satanistic, as in him singing about his religion. That's just a little part. Most of his songs are about great points that we need to know, things I, atleast, agree with, and that we need to be aware of. Like the fact that he thinks America is brainwashing us and scaring their citizents to get money or cooperation or whatever it is they want.

He has points and opinions, only a small part of them are satanistic. If you agree with his views and like his music, or just like his music, then listen to him!

I keep seeing these questions. Should I listen to rock even though I'm christian? Can I wear my black clothes or be a punk, or shouldn't I because of god?
You have to give yourself a break here. I'm sure god doesn't mind if you are who you want to be. I get that you shan't sin and all, but you ARE allowed to wear the clothes you like and listen to the music you want to listen to and have your own opinions!

Besides, if you are strong in your faith, as you probably are since you ask this, you shouldn't ask this, because if a simple song or style can make you doubt your beliefs, they aren't very strong. Think about that. It's all up to you, and Marilyn Manson is just a brilliant singer who happens to sing about his opinions and dress the way he want.

People must stop being scared of him or hating him for being who he wants to be, being awake and being a genious. Sheesh!

Just an example to prove my point:
I love rock and punk. Like Marilyn Manson and Slipknot. I wear black clothes and spikes, because of the music I listen to. But I chose to do that, see, no one dresses me in the morning, I do it all by myself! It's my choice to be like this. I didn't become like this as in because of the music, whether I liked it or not, I HAD to! No, I chose it.

My boyfriend, he listens to some of the same bands as I do, and lotsa others, in the rock and punk and metal genres. He is completely "normal" looking, he likes to wear a shirt and blue pants. Because he chose to do that! He's even christian, one of the most christian persons I've ever known! It has nothing to do with the music you listens to, it's about what you yourself choose.

See?
