    Churches sing the gospel according to U2 | Chicago Tribune On Sunday night the front pews of the Lutheran church will be moved to make room for dancing. On the right will stand a band whose lead singer strikingly resembles Bono of U2. And when the opening hymn begins, worshipers will shout the lyrics to the rock song "Pride": "In the name of love!

Also, it's triffic. I hope no pretentious accuracy-obsessed smeghead volunteer editors mess with it:  Sadly, Norman was killed during the 2006 Dimension Jump. During a question and answer session, he had spent three hours giving reasons why having three more lines in 'Back in the Red' would have made the entire season better. Enraged at how bitter and annoying he was, the audience stormed…

    The Ultimate Spiritual Opt-Out

    Will Pope Benedict become a Mormon after he dies? – Yahoo! News PARIS (Reuters) – Pope Benedict was baptised at birth and will most likely be baptised again one year after his death, not by his Roman Catholic Church but by a Mormon he never met.
