For those not familiar with the song used in the graphic:

MARILYN MANSON

"The Fight Song"

Nothing suffocates you more than
the passing of everyday human events
Isolation is the oxygen mask you make
your children breath into survive

But I'm not a slave to a god
that doesn't exist
But I'm not a slave to a world
that doesn't give a shit

And when we were good
you just closed you eyes
So when we are bad
we're going to scar your minds

fight, fight, fight, fight

You'll never grow up to be a big-
rock-star-celebrated-victim-of-your-fame
They'll just cut our wrists like
cheap coupons and say that death
was on sale today

And when we were good
you just closed you eyes
So when we are bad
we'll scar your minds

But I'm not a slave to a god
that doesn't exist
But I'm not a slave to a world
that doesn't give a shit

the death of one is a tragedy
the death of one is a tragedy
the death of one is a tragedy
but death of a million is just a statistic


fight, fight, fight, fight

2. Isn't it?

I really like their website, they are looking for contributors, so if you have any untapped talents-here's your chance.

Oops, I forgot you have your hands full this summer, spending time with your kid is more important than anything else.
You are making memories that will last a lifetime, I envy you.

Bleh.
Listen to m sounding like an effing greeting card, time to get angry again...
~just remembered Phelps maggots were here Friday, protesting a soldier's funeral- just got my angst back.

[trotsky]

3. Manson has had some nice critiques of religion.

Cool animation!

4. "the death of one is a tragedy

but death of a million is just a statistic"

The music is powerfully raw and has such profound lyrics.

[onager]

8. IIRC, that's almost a direct quote from Stalin...

"One death is a tragegy. A million deaths is a statistic."

9. I knew I'd read it before.

No sacred cows for Marilyn.

5. Are there easy listening types of atheists?

Can you really be an atheist if you listen to Perry Como and Barry Manilow? :o

[beam me up scottie]

6. Good question.

If you are a believer, listening to Barry Gibb might convince you that there is no god.

[onager]

7. HA! Listening to Bob Carlisle should convince you...

...that there's no god.

I mean, this POS song has got to be one of the WORST things ever recorded. Naturally, it was a huge hit out there in the heartland of 'Murika.

Did I ever mention my theory that P.T. Barnum was an optimist, when he estimated the birth rate of suckers?

WARNING: Diabetics probably shouldn't read these lyrics:

There's two things I know for sure:
She was sent here from heaven and she's
daddy's little girl.
As I drop to my knees by her bed at night
She talks to Jesus and I close my eyes and
I thank god for all the joy in my life
Oh, but most of all
For butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer;
sticking little white flowers all up in her
hair; "Walk beside the pony, Daddy, it's my first ride."
"I know the cake looks funny, Daddy, but I sure tried."
In all that I've done wrong I know I must
have done something right to deserve a hug
every morning and butterfly kisses at night.

Sweet 16 today
She's looking like her mama a little more everyday
One part woman, the other part girl.
To perfume and make-up from ribbons and curls
Trying her wings out in a great big world.

But I remember
Butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer; sticking
little white flowers all up in her hair.
"You know how much I love you, Daddy, But if you
don't mind I'm only gonna kiss you on the cheek this time."
With all that I've done wrong I must have done
something right to deserve her love every morning
and butterfly kisses at night.

All the precious time
Like the wind, the years go by.
Precious butterfly.
Spread your wings and fly.

She'll change her name today.
She'll make a promise and I'll give her away.
Standing in the bride-room just staring at her.
She asked me what I'm thinking and I said "I'm not
sure-I just feel like I'm losing my baby girl."
She leaned over…gave me butterfly kisses with her mama there,
Sticking little white flowers all up in her hair
"Walk my down the aisle, Daddy-it's just about time."
"Does my wedding gown look pretty, Daddy? Daddy, don't cry!"

Oh, with all that I've done wrong I must have
done something right.
To deserve your love every morning and butterfly
kisses-I couldn't ask God for more, man this is what love is.

I know I gotta let her go, but I'll always remember
every hug in the morning and butterfly kisses.
