U2 is a Christian band, they make Gospel music. They just stopped saying that back in the 1970's but if you look at their lyrics it becomes immediately obvious. In fact, blatant. Literally their hit song "He Works in Mysterious Ways". They don't even hide it, yet, nobody is really aware.
That to me is mind-blowing: how something can be so obvious, right in front of our eyes, not even denied ... and we don't see it.
Mr. Rogers Neighbourhood is 100% Ministering without apparent Ministering.
'Children of Men' is possibly my favourite film, it's literally a Nativity Story.
... but the last thing on the planet I would ever want to listen to is a 'Christian Band' that calls themselves a 'Christian Band'.
- onionisafruit 5y agoThe U2 lyric is “she moves in mysterious ways”. Just a little different.
- jollybean 5y agoOh that's right it's funny how your memory adapts to what you want it to be. But it's just the same with them anyhow. U2-charist: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U2charist https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U2charist
