(02-17-2005) A Bono-Fied Religion -- LA Times*

[LostAtMoon]

There's a great book out there "Walk On," which is about Bono and the boys' faith. After reading it you'll understand why people think this way of Bono. You can get the book anywhere or at www.relevantbooks.com.

I have that book (I have almost all the books that are on the market about U2 and Bono) but I haven't started reading it yet.

"Baptism by Guiness"..LOL! I think Bono would really appreciate that one, and bring you the bricks and mortar, and ask to join too!

Jesus was a normal guy too

I'm Jewish and don't really believe in religion but I do believe in the idea of prophets. I don't know much about Christianity but I do know that Jesus was a great man--a humanitarian, someone larger than life. Isn't that what Bono is--he's larger than life. There's just those people who just exude spirituality and greatness and he's one of them. But, at least he's not one of those prophets who has to be worshipped posthumously...

I don't know if this article is meant to be taken as seriously as some people seem to have taken it, but it is one of the funniest pieces I've read!

I love it! Can't even begin to pick out favorite bits.

... and I'm guessing the short list of people to induct Bono includes Mick Jagger and Nelson Mandela.

I'll buy a ticket......unless ticketmaster is involved.

amen...
