The video was co-directed by Lady Gaga and her creative director Laurieann Gibson, who claims openly to be a Christian.\u00a0 Here is what she told MTV<\/a> about the video:<\/p>\n

“I will tell you now, first off, I’m Christian, and my career is evidence of God in my life,” Gibson said. “And I think that most people are already thinking that Gaga and the blasphemy and they’re premeditating the approach, and I think they’ll be very shocked to find out how huge and really groundbreaking the message is and how freeing the message is for all the right reasons. And it’s really going to shock the world.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
