I know -- I don't really want to be polemical and I wasn't meaning to incite to argument... it was just frustration spilling over.

I agree with your comment... what's frustrating is that I'm pretty sure those U2 members would perfectly agree with you, too. It's the us/them dichotomy I'm not liking. At the same time, I don't care what kind of exclusivity people practice about their heaven, as long as it doesn't spill over to the shared political realm that millions of people who don't share those beliefs inhabit.
