I never thought I would quote this young man who seemed to be living a life that I would not want to point out to anyone. But now Bieber claims he wants to be like Jesus, and that is a good desire to have:
Well that is certainly true. Going to church does NOT make you a Christian just as going to Taco Bell does not make you a taco.
We had the Pope prove that statement to be true the other day when he spoke an anti Christ message to much of the world. He had an opportunity to speak to many millions of how to be saved by the blood of Jesus. But instead chose to focus on claiming that Allah and Jesus are the same God. Of course Allah is no God at all and Jesus is The One and Only God Almighty that created everything that exists.
But here we have a young man, who has been setting a very bad example lately, make the Pope look very bad. For Bieber's message here is much better than the man who calls himself the pope spoke forth.

For Justin Bieber, the past few years have been defined byarrests, scandals (night club urination, confiscated monkeys) and public attempts to soften his image and reboot his career. Now the 21-year-old pop superstar – whose new, Kanye West-assisted LP is out November 13th – has shared the source of his redemption: Christianity. “I just wanna honestly live like Jesus,” Bieber told Complex in a lengthy cover story. “Not be Jesus – I could never – I don’t want that to come across weird. He created a pretty awesome template of how to love people and how to be gracious and kind. If you believe it, he died for our sins.”
The singer clarified that he’s “not religious,” as he’s bothered by the “really weird stuff going on at churches” and the holier-than-thou attitude of certain Christians. But he emphasized that his life has been transformed by faith. “We have the greatest healer of all, and his name is Jesus Christ,” he said. “And he really heals. This is it. It’s time that we all share our voice. Whatever you believe. Share it. I’m at a point where I’m not going to hold this in.”
The key to being Christian, Bieber said is having “this connection that you feel there’s no insecurities” – not simply enjoying fellowship at church. He also used an unorthodox analogy to drive home his point: “You don’t need to go to church to be a Christian. If you go to Taco Bell, that doesn’t make you a taco.”
