I commend you for reading it! It can be a scary thing to look deeper into the lives and thoughts of our 'heroes". You have to be willing to have your affections/opinions changed, and it looks like you have your eyes wide open. I hope Bono reads this.
There is an irony in the notion of a man who spent his career giving generously of his own income... the admirable definition of voluntarism / Christian charity, while simultaneously advocating for market intervention and welfarism... the opposite of that. A double mindedness of sorts.
I love how God captures this activity despite its flawed motives (as some of Paul's opponents preached the gospel out of envy). May Bono get to the real source, so he can enjoy the peace of a pure motive. I shudder to think of how many "good" things I do out of skeezy motives.
