Starting the New Year with a recap of 2014, U2's front man Bono penned a blog titled, 'LITTLE BOOK OF A BIG YEAR: Bono's A to Z of 2014' in which he dedicated a nice portion of the blog to share his thoughts on Jesus and his faith.

Given his recent bicycle accident that left multiple injuries including a fractured eye socket and shoulder blade as well as a severe fracture to his left elbow, Bono has had some extra time to blog. In his lengthy post, released Jan 1st, a section called 'J Is For Jesus' reveals Bono's thoughts on the birth of Jesus, the book of Revelation, and Science.

"At this time of year some people are reminded of the poetic as well as the historic truth that is the birth of Jesus," he writes, "The Christmas story has a crazy good plot with an even crazier premise - the idea goes, if there is a force of love and logic behind the universe, then how amazing would it be if that incomprehensible power chose to express itself as a child born in s*** and straw poverty."

The legendary rock star goes on to say "who could conceive such a story?" if not for God. Bono confessed that he believes it was God who wrote the story calling him the "protagonist," but urges believers to respect others who might think the notion is "a bit nutty or worse."

"Religious people are the best and worst of us...handle us with skepticism," he warned.

Bono then switched gears and pointed to the fact that some do believe science and religion compliment each other and not the popular notion that it is the opposite. "Some of the most rational thinkers see some kind of cosmic sense in all this," he noted, "the language of science and faith are not necessarily at odds."

The Irish singer-songwriter mentioned two artists Hewson, an author, and William Blake, a painter, who took on the book of revelation in their specific art.

"I can't make head nor tail of that book but I love the idea that he was taken by a vision... a poetic rhapsody of man describing what looks like a nuclear firestorm ending the world, he said after talking about Hewson.

"You can't approach the subject of God without metaphor," Bono advised, "literalism like legalism is an attempt to shrink God to recreate him in our own image."

He rapped up that portion of his blog by bringing it back to the Christmas story.

"The Christmas story... still brings me to my knees - which is a good place for me lest I harm myself or others," he joked, going on to sincerely point out, "Christmas is not a time for me to over think about this child, so vulnerable, who would grow so strong... to teach us all how vulnerability is the route to strength and, by example, show us how to love and serve."

"To me this is not a fairy tale but a challenge. I preach what I need to hear...," he concluded.
