I think that paragraph provides a lot of food for thought... Let&#39;s not stand up for religion. Let&#39;s stand up for love (of god, of one another, of our enemies) and beware of turning good intentions into a religious war!<br /><br />Quote:<br />He says that a lot of people he most admires are non-believers. Bill Gates. Warren Buffett. &quot;People who are prepared to spend their entire life&#39;s fortune trying to make the lives of people they don&#39;t know a lot better. These people are more Christian than the Christians. Zealotry and certainty are worrying for me. Love keeps religion from zealotry.&quot;<br /><br />SOH So without love, it becomes another kind of fixed ideology?<br /><br />Bono &quot;Yeah, that&#39;s right! Anyway, there&#39;s loads of pops in there about zealotry, religious and otherwise, and you&#39;re the only person who&#39;s picked up on this in the lyrics. I mean, &#39;Stop helping God across the road like a little old lady.&#39; Come on?&quot;<br /><br />http://www.atu2.com/news/the-wanderers-part-2.htmlGwen (Gwen) Delainehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10669520467727079577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5726895070295610906.post-29076562152521766312009-03-14T09:13:00.000-05:002009-03-14T09:13:00.000-05:00I've been looking forward to you commenting about this song. It's one of my favorites on the album. That line is quite convicting...we think our little "acts of service" are enough. Time to stand up and truly show our love for God and others. Great post.
