Bono and Mother Teresa

[jewetts]

Did Bono and Mother Teresa ever meet face to face? What has been written about their meeting. Also has Bono quoted Mother Teresa. Basically I am wondering how she influenced Bono.

Mother Theresa was a friend of poverty, not of the poor - Christopher Hitchens RIP

i heard she provided backing vocals on "Red Light" off the War album.

So, jewetts - I think it's safe to say at this point no one knows.

I don't recall ever hearing anything about Bono meeting her. If he had, I'm sure he'd bring it up aaaaall the time.

When I want to debate Christopher Hitchens, my first thought is to throw out his quotes in this forum.

He was one of the most intelligent minds, Hitchens, Dawkins, Harris... all of them is important in the world. Apsecially when there in 2012 are creationists in the poltics in USA...

Funny, but he's the first person I thought of when I read the thread title as well... Hadn't decided if I wanted to stir that pot though. But I'm glad it was stirred

I just heard the phrase "Mother Teresa's Helicopter"

 

[stanislaus]

Mother Theresa knew one person no matter how wonderful is not cabable of being the reward the payback and the dangling carrot.She wrote about half open windows being very confusing whether looking in or out.Bono arranged many biblical sentences into well known songs too bad he's arranging analogies and metaphors into apathy.

I really liked Christopher Hitchens, he was a smart guy, but he was destroyed in this debate.

Why would the guy spend any time on writing about something he doesn't understand? So an atheist wrote a book that revealed that someone with faith had doubts? And it's supposed to be scandalous?

The guys a freakin' atheist, what's his point of reference??

Oh sorry, he's actually an "antitheist"


Hitchens claims he’s not an atheist, but in fact an “antitheist.”

“You could be an atheist and wish that the belief was true. You could; I know some people who do,” he says. “An antitheist, a term I’m trying to get into circulation, is someone who’s very relieved that there’s no evidence for this proposition.”

It's not politically correct but I half-laughed when the fella on the right(side...of the screen) told Hitch the first time that an englishman should be quiet when an Irish Man talked.....

.....the second time he said it I half-laughed louder.

I didn't bother watching the second video because it had a silly name

In answer to the first question about whether or not Mother Teresa ever met Bono I read somewhere she saw them on the last leg of the Boy tour in 1981

She was later tried and convicted of stealing Bonos Briefcase.....highjinx ensued.

She skipped bail........
