OK, I am in an off mood, so I will be blunt and true to my mood today.
If I wanted to listen to a preacher, I would go to a church. I do not wish to listen to it on my stereo. U2 is a rock band that makes wonderful and brilliant music. I love them for that. They uplift and inspire everyone with their music. From all faiths.
I am not nor will I ever be a christian, but I love U2 dearly and forever will.
What I get from Bono's (U2's) message is this....
I don't think that Bono speaks of God as a man sitting up in the sky somewhere treating us all as "sheep" that must be made to obey and follow within the "flock". He wants us to realize that "God" is more than that. "It" is within us all....in our hearts....in our souls.
"God" is not making a difference in the world....people are making a difference. Bono shows us all to do just that.
If U2 did not put their time, money, and hearts into helping those in need and just went around "preaching" they would not hold any credibilty and they would turn so many people off. They don't do that however. They also have deep respect for other culture's belief systems. Bono gets that right. He is teaching acceptance, love, and respect. He is not trying to convert anyone he is just trying to make the world a better place with a very simple and culturally universal idea....
It's called LOVE.
