cults and sects.

We are all led by instinct,
and our intellect catches up later.
- Bono
It's hard to believe, hard to be a believer,
when you see the way the things are in the world.
But I am a believer!

but books are the greatest gift one person can give another.

Everywhere I look, I see the evidence of a creator.
But I don't see it as religion,

in any part of a religion.
Religion to me is almost like when God leaves -
and people devise a set of rules to fill the space.
- Bono
U2 is an original species...
there are colors and feelings and emotional terrain
that we occupy that is ours and ours alone.

who have convictions that are unpopular.
Now at what point does an unpopular conviction
interfere with your own human rights?
Forced female circumcision, for instance.
The Catholic Church's stance on contraception.
The list goes on. You know, God has some really weird kids,
and I find it hard to be in their company most of the time.
- Bono
