I, too have interpreted this line as a reference to Manson.
If I remember right, he, as so many cult leaders, considered
himself Christ returned. I think Joni was being sarcastic (and
cryptic). What could be more out of whack than people strapping
themselves to big roman candles and propelling themselves into
the heavens, and Jesus a mass-murderer. Still, she sends up
her prayer, wondering who is there to hear....

Exactly what I was trying to say. Thanks for putting it more clearly than I
apparently did.
Indeed, Manson WAS claiming to be the messiah, or something akin to that.
