Growing up going to Christian school and the concept that you're born a sinner and you don't really have a choice to change who you are has been hammered into my head and created the entire reason why I made art and made a band and made records called 'Antichrist Superstar.'

I grew up in a Christian home with amazing parents.

My favorite designer is Christian Lacroix not just because his clothes are amazing and I love them but because he's so nice. When I did his fashion show he was the first one to arrive there and he helped everyone.

Nothing is more generally known than our duties which belong to Christianity and yet how amazing is it nothing is less practiced?

Here is the amazing thing about Easter the Resurrection Sunday for Christians is this that Christ in the dying moments on the cross gives us the greatest illustration of forgiveness possible.

The problems that the world faces - from nuclear proliferation to climate change - can't be tackled by the West alone. They need a coalition of not just West and East but they need a coalition of Christian and Jew and Muslim.

This and this alone is Christianity a universal holiness in every part of life a heavenly wisdom in all our actions not conforming to the spirit and temper of the world but turning all worldly enjoyments into means of piety and devotion to God.

Too many Christians have a commitment of convenience. They'll stay faithful as long as it's safe and doesn't involve risk rejection or criticism. Instead of standing alone in the face of challenge or temptation they check to see which way their friends are going.
