God at the 9" Nails Gig....by Bono

Bono of U2 tells a reporter:


"God is interested in truth, and only in truth. And that's why God is more interested in Rock & Roll music than Gospel... Many gospel musicians can't write about what's going on in their life, because it's not allowed ..they can't write about their doubt...If you can't write about what's really going on in the world and your life, because it's all happy-clappy... Is God interested in that? I mean, 'Please, don't patronize Me! I want to go the Nine-Inch-Nails gig, they're talking the truth!"

Bono thanks you for the kind words

[chiefdreamer]

so nice to hear from fellow fans!

He knows more about music than about God.

It's too bad that Bono has such a shallow and closed minded view of music. It's true that God wants us to be open and honest and Rock N' Roll isn't the only expression of honesty. For majority of the world, Rock N' Roll isn't life, and those of us without Rock N' Roll still can live authentically true.

bono;why don't you just admit your agenda is the new world order/world government like the vatican & the rest of your rich friends.

you plastic maggot.
