U2 shows=Sonic Church

[joshua the tree]

Spiritually speaking, I get a lot more out of U2 concerts than any church. No offense. I was raised Catholic and 'Had to go'. Basically all I got out of that was fear and guilt. I only wish I was forced to go to see the band every Sunday! "The spirit is in the House!"

couldn't agree more.

U2 basically ruined church for me. As arrogant as this sounds, I feel like there's nothing for me to learn at Church that I havn't already figured out from listening to U2.

I know exactly what you're saying. U2's music has really changed me for the better ( I hope). It made me realize that the church is not any building.

This thread's title had me all excited for a split second....

it's funny... my friend and I were having this exact same conversation on the way home from the 12/5 boston show. we've both seen several shows on this tour and are always amazed at how inspiring and uplifting each evening is.

I had something akin to a religious experience during the first show I saw on this tour, during Streets.

 

[Gen. Chat]

Bono preaches enough.

 

[Anu]

the preachin' ain' bad--
'specially when the congregation is dancing in the aisles.
He has used the phrase:
"takin' it to church" . . .
He uttered this at a time when the show was already there, and he knew it.
