  2. 2

    "I don't profess to be a practicing Christian although I think Christ was what he was and anybody who says something great about Him, I believe."

  3. 3

    "We're making our music into electric church music... like a foundation for the lost or potentially lost... The soul must rule, not money or drugs. You should rule yourself and give God a chance..."

  4. 4

    "My first love would be spiritual music."

  5. 5

    "If you believe people could be going to hell and you think that it's not worth telling them because it would make it socially awkward... how much do you have to hate somebody to not proselytize?"

  6. 6

    "I was smokin' marijuana, drinking, doing drugs. My mom and dad knew what I was doing. But they never hassled me, they just prayed for me. And I felt convicted by God. But I couldn't change myself."

  7. 7

    "U2, with the dark, chiming sound of heaven at their command. Their search for God was intact. This was a band that wanted to lay claim to not only this world but had their eyes on the next one, too."

  8. 8

    "Music has always been religious. Music is a passion and a vehicle for the understanding of why we are here. It's a remembering of the past and of ritual."

  9. 9

    "We're just a group writing songs and yet we have all this holy stuff written about us. The thing is, I half believe it."

  10. 10

    "I think art can lead you to God. I think that's the purpose of everything. If it's not doing that, what's it doing? It's leading you the other way. It's certainly not leading you nowhere."

  11. 11

    "It's time that we tear down racial barriers and social barriers and things that separate us and come together hand in hand and start loving one another. That's what the Lord's been teaching us."

  15. 15

    "Everything else can wait, but the search for God cannot wait."

  16. 16

    "The energy of devils and angels is the same energy. Geniuses don't have time to think how it's going to be received... whether people like it or not, is it morally right, will God like it?"

  17. 17

    "I grew up with the prospect of heaven and hell looming ever large. It was black and white, the way it still is for millions of right-wing Christians in the middle of America."
