I don't usually argue for the sake of it, so trust me when I say that I'm not contridicting you all for fun. But I disagree. I don't think that the song Gloria is about God at all. Sorry. I think that Bono is trying to show the magnitude of his love by comparing "Gloria," (the pseudonym name for the woman he loves, Eli, maybe?) to his love for God. You may think I'm mental, but Bono could have used another word besides "Gloria" in there, or even another Latin phrase. Just listen to it and think, it could either be a ballad for God, or someone that he truely loves.
@animavox Many great love songs are like that. Depict love for another through the perceived eyes of God, or by seeing God in another, and the love is depicted as pure and grand as it can be.
