Bono on Faith
Christianity Today has a great interview with Bono available on its website. The U2 frontman has some very interesting things to say about faith, God and religion.
I love the idea of the Sacrificial Lamb. I love the idea that God says: Look, you cretins, there are certain results to the way we are, to selfishness, and there's a mortality as part of your very sinful nature, and, let's face it, you're not living a very good life, are you? There are consequences to actions. The point of the death of Christ is that Christ took on the sins of the world, so that what we put out did not come back to us, and that our sinful nature does not reap the obvious death. That's the point. It should keep us humbled… . It's not our own good works that get us through the gates of heaven.Now if we could just get the guy to stop saying the f-word on national television...
Seriously, though, I think Bono is a good example of a guy who has faith, but struggles with the way faith is played out in today's church. Sometimes, I wonder the same thing. But those are subjects for another day.

Great post full of useful tips! My site is fairly new and I am also having a hard time getting my readers to leave comments. Analytics shows they are coming to the site but I have a feeling “nobody wants to be first”.

Excellent read, I just passed this onto a colleague who was doing a little research on that. And he actually bought me lunch because I found it for him smile So let me rephrase that: Thanks for lunch!
