Ah ... finally something I want to talk about

Here, finally, is what this stupid blog is supposed to be about, but I didn't say it. Bono did. Jerk.

"It had dawned on me before, but it really sank in: the Christmas story. The idea that God, if there is a force of Love and Logic in the universe, that it would seek to explain itself is amazing enough. That it would seek to explain itself and describe itself by becoming a child born in straw poverty, in shit and straw ... a child ... I just thought" Wow!" Just the poetry ... Unknowable love, unknowable power, describes itself as the most vulnerable. There it was. I was sitting there [at a Xmas Eve service after a long tour], and it's not that it hadn't struck me before, but tears came down my face, and I saw the genius of this, the utter genius of picking a particular point in time and deciding to turn on this. ... [L]ove needs to find a form, intimacy needs to be whispered. To me it makes sense. It's actually logical. It's pure logic. Essence has to manifest itself. It's inevitable. Love has to become action or something concrete. It would have to happen. There must be an incarnation. Love must be made flesh."

Bono, in conversation with Michka Assayas, Riverhead Books, 2005, p. 125(emphasis added).

That's what I want to talk about.
