I hadn't relaised the bandana read 'coexist' until I saw it tonight, despite having seen it in other concerts (on DVD). A pretty amazing experience all up... and the religion thing - don't know what to think - I have a feeling he means we're all Abraham's sons and so should stop shooting each other, but if he thinks it's deeper than that I can't tell.<BR/><BR/>At any rate, such awesome music!Alexandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00478842515011378244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7276278342039529509.post-28121622633793492452008-06-02T14:16:00.000+10:002008-06-02T14:16:00.000+10:00We watched a video interview of Bono at our church...We watched a video interview of Bono at our church camp this weekend. He did say some good things but I was struck by how bizarre it was that people seemed to be pretty much worshipping him at the concert snippets they showed. It looked like an almost spiritual experience, and he's just an ordinary bloke who happens to be able to sing OK!<BR/><BR/>MirandaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7276278342039529509.post-72111833608286381512008-06-02T11:24:00.000+10:002008-06-02T11:24:00.000+10:00Hi Jen!

You know, what you put out comes back to you: an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth...But I’d be in big trouble if Karma was going to finally be my judge...I’m holding out for Grace. I’m holding out that Jesus took my sins onto the Cross, because I know who I am, and I hope I don’t have to depend on my own religiousity....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.<BR/><BR/>At this point the Interviewer says: “Great idea...Christ has his rank among the world’s great thinkers. But Son of God, isn’t that farfetched?<BR/><BR/>Bono: No, it’s not farfetched to me. Look, the secular response to the Christ story always goes like this: he was a great prophet, obviously a very interesting guy, had a lot to say along the lines of other great prophets, be they Elijah, Muhammed, Buddha, or Confucius. But actually Christ doesn’t allow you that. He doesn’t let you off the hook. Christ says: “No. I’m not saying I’m a teacher, don’t call me teacher. I’m not saying I’m a prophet. I’m saying “I’m the Messiah.” I’m saying: “I am God incarnate.” And people say: No, no, please, just be a prophet. A prophet we can take...But don’t mention the ‘M’ word! And he goes: No...I am the Messiah...So what you’re left with is: either Christ was who He said He was - the Messiah - or a complete nutcase.. I mean, we’re talking nutcase on the level of Charles Manson....When I look at the Cross of Christ, what I see up there is all my s*** and everybody else’s. So I ask myself a question...Who is this man? And there it is , and that’s the question.<BR/><BR/>Yes I think Bono makes some foolish decisions in the way he projects his image, but I think he might be a brother.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
