Quote
It’s extraordinary to me that the United States can find $700 billion to save Wall Street and the entire G8 can’t find $25 billion dollars to saved 25,000 children who die every day from preventable diseases.
– Bono, from yesterday’s Sojourners weekly email, via The American Prospect.
Bono On Faith, Life And Music: Rolling Stone Interview
Great link from the weekly Off-The-Map Idealab email (NB the link is only in the email, not on the website) to a new interview with Bono by Jann Wenner of Rolling Stone magazine. Fascinating section on his religious beliefs. Christians wonder whether Bono is ‘one of us’. He explains that his beliefs do make him a Christian, he is just reluctant to use the label because he feels he doesn’t live up to the standard. There is surely more grace for the Bonos of this world.
Note for the sensitive: several profanities in the interview.
Bono And Faith
Can anyone seriously doubt the reality of Bono’s faith when they read this quote? Ends up rather like C S Lewis’ old point that you can’t say Jesus was a good guy or a prophet: your only serious options are liar, lunatic or Lord.
Thanks to Andrew Careaga for the link.
