| I think this song indicates the struggles and wars in the world. Specially in the middle east. Bono is searching for peace and prays to the people to put down their weapons. He prays that people should live their entire life and live it peacefully. | |

| I would just like to add that I think it's very stupid to put the line "Lay down...all your Abraham sons" in a song about peace. Lots of people who kill believe they are doing God's will which is a problem. The story about Abraham wasn't about God sanctifying murder but as I said in the above post, it was about God testing Abraham's faith and it was the kind of thing God could only get away with pulling once because anyone who had faith in him would know that he 1. It's a sin to kill and 2. God stopped Abraham so he must not really want anyone to kill in his name anyway. | |

| "Lay down...all your Abraham sons" Well Abraham sacrificed his son to God, according to the scriptures. He lay him down, so to speak, on an altar because God told him to kill him but then just as he was about to do it God said stop, I see you have faith in me, you need to go no farther. So basically what this line is saying is that if God tells you to commit murder for him, go ahead and do it. Never mind that in the story of Abraham God stepped in and stopped the murder from occurring. This is kind of a pointless sentiment as what is the point of sacrificing something if you know God is going to stop you. The point of that story had meaning for the time but is completely irrelevant now. It's like an old trick. You can't fool someone twice, unless they are completely oblivious. | |

| when i hear this song, it definitely makes me think it's about john lennon in his later years when he was a weird, communist hippie. | |

| To sum up, I wonder if u2 are really sincere anymore or if they're just spouting stuff from the Bible. | |
