GALLAGHER SLAMS 'BORING' BONO'S RELIGIOUS TALKS
OASIS rocker LIAM GALLAGHER has slammed U2 star BONO's "boring"
attempts to convert him to Christianity - insisting he is his own God.
The WONDERWALL singer recently shattered his rock 'n' roll image by
confessing he regularly goes to church to confess his sins, but his
belief in himself rises above everything else.
But Liam refuses to follow his sibling's religious beliefs, despite
Bono's persistent efforts to show him the way of the Lord.
He complains, "What can Bono tell me I don't know I'm not looking for
guidance. There are days I believe and days I don't. And days I think,
'F**k the lot of them, I'm going for a Stella (beer).'
"And when I've had ten of them, I'm f**king God. F**k Bono. I don't
need his guidance. He'd talk a glass eye to sleep."

Jesus said he'd rather people be cold or hot towards Him; it's the
_lukewarm_ people Jesus will spit out:
Revelation 3:14-16: "To the angel of the church in Laodicea write:
These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the
ruler of God's creation. I know your deeds, that you are neither cold
nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! So, because you are
lukewarm--neither hot nor cold--I am about to spit you out of my
mouth."
Hot, Cold or Lukewarm?

At this point in time, God only knows whether Liam Gallagher can be
described as "cold" or "lukewarm" in his spiritual journey.
As for brother Noel Gallagher...

U2 quiz: 30 questions for those who have ears to hear
by Sol O. Mann
***
21. The London Sunday Times Magazine (Sept. 29/01) mentions that Bono
and Noel Gallagher (from the band Oasis) had a long conversation about
faith. A few days after the conversation, Bono sent a package to
Gallagher and his girlfriend Sara that included a book by Philip
Yancey. Name the book.
Answer:
21."What's So Amazing About Grace?" (1997)
From the song "Grace":"What once was hurt/What once was friction/What
left a mark/No longer stings/Because Grace makes beauty/Out of ugly
things"
According to Noel Gallagher, he had said to Bono: "Look, you believe in
it all...I'm Catholic same as you. Can you explain it to me?" Gallagher
told Sunday Times writer Robert Crampton: "We had a good three-hour
conversation about his religious philosophy, which is basically,'Go to
God, tell Him what all your flaws are and say, 'Can you work with
me?'..."
"And [Bono's] dad had just died. How difficult must that be? Takes time
out because two people were interested. What a guy."
Steve Beard writes in "Spiritual Journeys"(2003):"Bono had attached a
little note to the gift:'I don't know if you were serious the other
night, but here's something that might give you a bit more of an
understanding.'" (p. 252)
