People have their own beliefs and interpretations. Who am I to say that mine is 100 right and the rest of the world who doesn't believe in exactly what I believe in is wrong.

Jon (or anyone) has the right to express how they feel. I don't judge anyone as long as they are not offending me or preaching to change my belief. If Jon says something in a song or interview that I don't agree with, I accept that as his opinion / belief and overlook it. That goes with anything... Politics, religion, or how he pours a glass of wine.

Tom Cruise gets the most flack because of his Scientology belief. Regardless if I agree with it or not, I'm not going to dislike him as an individual because my beliefs wouldn't want that. That's just an ignorant as disliking someone because of their sexuality.

I think religious beliefs should be kept private and practiced with others who believe the same. I'm not saying not to wear a cross but preaching to someone who doesn't believe the same is offensive.

Back to Jon, I don't know his religion. He could be a closet scientologist for all I know and I honestly don't care. As long as I don't interpret his lyrics as offensive, he could say what he wants.

His preaching on stage is all part of his act. Bruce does the exact same thing.

Johnny’s church of rock and roll is a joke in my opinion. I really don’t think when Jon says that, he’s trying to suck anyone into his colt. If he was serious, I’d take offence. Because he’s not, I’m able to overlook it.
