โItโs a mind-blowing concept that the God who created the Universe might be looking for company, a real relationship with people...At the centre 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...Its clear to me that Karma is at the very heart of the universe. Iโm absolutely sure of it. And yet, along comes this idea called Grace to upend all that 'As you reap, so will you sow' 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 Iโve done a lot of stupid stuff. Thatโs between me and God. But Iโd be in big trouble if Karma was going to finally be my judge. Iโd be in deep s***. It doesnโt excuse my mistakes, but Iโm holding out for Grace. Iโm holding out that Jesus took my sins onto the Cross because I know who I am, and I hope I donโt have to depend on my own religiosity." (From Bono on Bono)
