<p>Al321: </p> <hr /> <div>The religious and Iraq angles are interesting but should not be the primary focus of an article about U2, it turns the article into a polemic! Someone, not me, should put some time into this article.<br /> <br /> :Bono is praised for his activism more than his music. I wonder if his activism is really doing the Lord's work, in roughly the same way as I question Jimmy Carter's &quot;work&quot; on [[human rights]] and [[democracy]]. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] 15:04, 3 April 2007 (EDT)<br /> <br /> ::Just as I don't judge Bush's religious motives I also don't question Bono's or Carter's as I feel neither of us is qualified to do so. Regardless this article is about U2 not Bono and U2's primary activity is music not politics. --[[User:TimB|TimB]] 17:00, 7 April 2007 (EDT)<br /> <br /> :::What early songs supported the IRA? The band in general and Bono in particular is very anti-IRA. One early song was Mothers of the Disappeared (from Joshua Tree?), which is critical of the IRA. [[User:Murray|Murray]] 14:23, 18 May 2007 (EDT)<br /> <br /> The claim &quot;In the 1980's Adam Clayton dated the late supermodel Anna Nicole Smith&quot; troubles me. The primary reasons I doubt it to be true are:<br /> # Anna Nicole Smith was married to her first husband in 1985 at the age of 17 and divorced in 1993.<br /> # She began her relationship with billionaire J Howard Marshall in 1991<br /> # She didn't gain notoriety until she appeared in Playboy magazine and ads for Guess in 1992/1993.<br /> <br /> In searching online, I find no other reference to them being together.<br /> <br /> It's much easier to prove something is true than that something is false. What's the procedure for deleting a dubious entry? Is there a set period of time for soliciting citation prior to deletion?<br /> <br /> its not true, he's never dated Anna Nicole Smith. if you want, i could fix this page up, im a big U2 fan. {{unsigned|Headsup}}<br /> <br /> To Ed Poor: Uh, no. He's much more known for his music than his activism. He uses his fame to spread the word of his activism. <br /> Also, they're not all Christians and do not all practice regularly. I believe three are Christians, and only Bono practices regularly. I can cite U2 by U2 if necessary. I know for sure that Adam Clayton is athiest. [[User:Forthewin827|Forthewin827]] 21:17, 29 November 2007 (EST)<br /> <br /> I'd like some proof that Clayton is an atheist. As I understand it, he's a non-practicing Christian. Furthermore, the other members are still practicing Christians. Bono's talks at the prayer breakfast and the Christian references in Bono and The Edge's lyrics show this.-al321</div>
