You see, at the center of all religions is the idea of Karma. You know, what you put out comes back to you: an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, or in physics; in physical laws every action is met by an equal or an opposite one. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s clear to me that Karma is at the very heart of the universe. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m absolutely sure of it. And yet, along comes this idea called Grace to upend all that \u00e2\u20ac\u0153as you reap, so you will sow\u00e2\u20ac\u009d stuff. Grace defies reason and logic. Love interrupts, if you like, the consequences of your actions, which in my case is very good news indeed, because I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve done a lot of stupid stuff…<\/p>\n
If only we could be a bit more like Jesus, the world would be transformed. When I look at the Cross of Christ, what I see up there is all my s\u00e2\u20ac\u201d and everybody else\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s. So I ask myself a question a lot of people have asked: Who is this man? And was He who He said He was, or was He just a religious nut? And there it is, and that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s the question. And no one can talk you into it or out of it. – Bono<\/p>\n
