βItβs 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. Iβm 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 Iβve done a lot of stupid stuff. Thatβs between me and God. But Iβd be in big trouble if Karma was going to finally be my judge. Iβd be in deep s***. It doesnβt excuse my mistakes, but Iβm holding out for Grace. Iβm holding out that Jesus took my sins onto the Cross because I know who I am, and I hope I donβt have to depend on my own religiosity." (From Bono on Bono)
