Bono...Closet Lutheran?

Chris Halverson shares a link to an interesting Christianity Today interview of Bono , speaking very explicitly about his Christian faith. In places he even sounds...well...downright Lutheran:

You see, at the center 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, or in physics—in physical laws—every action is met by an equal or an opposite one. It's clear to me that Karma is at the very heart of the universe. I'm absolutely sure of it. And yet, along comes this idea called Grace to upend all that "as you reap, so you will 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 I've done a lot of stupid stuff...I'd be in big trouble if Karma was going to finally be my judge. I'd be in deep s---. It doesn't excuse my mistakes, but I'm holding out for Grace. I'm holding out that Jesus took my sins onto the Cross, because I know who I am, and I hope I don't have to depend on my own religiosity.

I think Bono might dig my parish -- he could jam with my bass-playing pastor, feast at our groaning potluck board and meet a lot of people who have absolutely no idea who he is...but if he chose to expound on what he said in the quote above, people would go away saying, "He's got a funny accent, but he's one of us."
