My understanding of the Scriptures has been made simple by the person of Christ.

Inspire Music Songs
U2 is sort of song writing by accident really. We don’t really know what we’re doing and when we do, it doesn’t seem to help.

BONO

Minded Religion Small Vision

There was a moment when Prince did rock & roll with a sponge-y seductive sound. I think that’s what was in our head for ‘Get On Your Boots.’ But actually, the song is much more punk rock.

We thought that we had the answers, it was the questions we had wrong.

I’ve learned to speak in a lot of tongues, and I can live with the bellicose language of some fervent, fire-breathing Christians, sure.

Sometimes religion gets in the way of God.
