I saw U2 in l985 and was more impressed with the opener, Lone Justice. I grew weary of Bono lecturing about global warming while he jetted around the world singing songs. If he does do good with his wealth, good for him. Hopefully he has seen the light.
His heart was in the right place and by report his soul is in the right place. My guess is that his mind his been filled with false knowledge, I’m sure it takes a while to unlearn what you have been told your entire life.
Good for him!

Look at where the West was in 1800 before the Capitalist Revolution really kicked in. Then look at where it was in 1950. Look at how Europe rebuilt itself after World War II. Look at how the Asian countries pulled themselves into modern times. Nothing in the history of humanity has brought more wealth to more people and pulled more people out of poverty than Capitalism. It is God’s gift to us.
Newsflash: Bono catches a clue, still cant sing.
Capitalism is nothing more nor less than ownership rights and liberty applied to money. I have ownership of my stuff, and I have the right to buy and sell freely, no matter how little or how much stuff is involved.
That's about it. And it works.
Bono is a Christian.
He is smart and willing to learn.
He is expressing humility and putting aside his prideful conclusions of the past.
God gives grace to the humble and opposes the proud.
He’s on the right track.
That first step is the hardest, but it’s the indispensable key.
If there’s sincerity behind it, the more the merrier !
