There are colors and feelings and emotional terrain
that we occupy that is ours and ours alone.
- Bono

Everywhere I look, I see the evidence of a creator.
But I don't see it as religion,
which has cut Irish people in two.
I don't see Jesus Christ as being
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.

In the past, U2 was trying to duck that.
Now we're wrapping our arms around it and giving it a great big kiss.

who have convictions that are unpopular.
Now at what point does an unpopular conviction

and I find it hard to be in their company most of the time.

so you would want to be with the other tenth.
