No, not at all. It’s a collection of songs, speeches, lists, stories, legends, poems, and letters from a long-ago culture cobbled together by the Catholic church, edited and re-edited, which now exists as a relic that some people like to comb through looking for mystical signs to make their lives more interesting.

So, then, your answer to the question posed to Bono, ‘Who is Jesus?’ would be something like, “a real person who has been re-invented and re-invented over time by those who needed someone to believe in,” or something like that. Is this correct?

You might want to search what that "collection" says about hardened hearts. BTW, I've heard similar comments from committed liberals.

So why are YOU wasting your time with believers?

HAve you nothing better to do than to tell us we are all deluded?

What harm can it do?

If we're wrong; then we've wasted a few hours of our life.

If you, however, are wrong, you'll be wasting a LOT more than that.
