Ok so I have always loved U2s music. Ive been to about 3 concerts total but Ive always bought the CDs and Im always interested in what bono has to say about things especially his humanitarian work...soo...
a while back this website (I forget which one) had this article discussing how U2 was "faith based rock" and or "christian rock".....
that really bummed me out because Im no great friend of the born again christian/worship types...and for good reason.
a female friend of mine had this boyfriend and he was always making her go to church and he always telling me how accepting Jesus would save my life and then after like 5 years she just broke up with him and like 6 months later she told me he had been beating her and having non consentual sex with her for like 4 years.....so....
I really hope that U2 isnt all tied up in the lie that is "christian" morality and its supposed lifestyle.
Sure I think religion is good at its core and Im sure U2 is good at its core...I just know that a lot of people abuse religion to project an acceptable social image.
Id just like to think that U2 is about the music and the rock and not about baptizing people in the crowd you know.
