stradasphere: U2 BTW

16.9.04

U2's upcoming album, "How To Dismantle an Atomic Bomb", has a song on it called "Yahweh"...I wonder what Bono has to say about Him?

U2's Bono does claim that he in fact has adapted the Christian faith, as have the bands other members. Having said that the band does not come out and say it wants to be know as a "Christian band." In fact the band does not believe that "Christian Music" should be a genre at all. They do believe that Christian music is another tool used by the believer to fulfill the great commission through the creation of great art. It follows that the while not all of the bands songs glorify or bring up God, the band is considerate of Christ in writing and performing their music.

I almost agree with him about whether music should be called Christian or not. I also almost think that a band that glorifies God without the label says more. Like walking the walk instead of just talking the talk. The whole living example, beign a light thing.
