"Well, he's not my "worship idol". I simply pointed out that he's done more to try to alleviate poverty than I (and many others) have."


Because Bono was fortunate enough to make millions off of hit records affording him lear jet trips to far off lands does not make him any more IMPORTANT than YOU in the eyes of OUR lord and savior Jesus Christ.

Christ isn't mea$uring you($$$) or Bono, too bad you haven't figured that one out yet. Oh one more thing, Christ doesn't wear a watch either so don't sweat the time thing. ;)

Ah, I see. No, that's not it.

It makes no never mind to me that he's a millionaire and could donate more money to worthy causes than I will make in my lifetime. He does what he can with what he's got.

The question is: am I doing what I can with what I've got? Nope, not even close, and I know it, too. Which is shameful for someone like me who considers themselves to be a Christian. Things like that make me fear I'm not a very good one. :) I don't have to think he's better than me to feel that I am not doing my part.

So, are you going to answer my question? What makes you believe that Bono's faith is insincere? Is it because he makes a ton of money? (It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle...)
