Harbinger: Dreaming

I missed this post at the time, but it's worth linking in retrospect a couple months later. Here Harbinger talks about eschatology in a song by techno artist BT and in U2's "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For." Got to excerpt this, which nails the problem with the criticism that a committed Christian should affirm having already found what s/he was looking for: The misunderstanding arises from placing the center of gravity of salvation upon a personal conversion experience, as opposed to where it biblically stands, at the re-creation of all creation and final elimination of sorrow that God will institute in the future. In the meanwhile, Bono was then, and still is, out-Christianing all the Christians. Hat tip to Hopeful Amphibian.
