Brit Hume: Tiger Woods must become Christian to be forgiven

Buddhism is inferior to Christianity when it comes to forgiveness of sins, according to Fox News pundit Brit Hume. Tiger Woods should turn his back on Buddhism and become a Christian to be forgiven for cheating on his wife, Hume told Fox News' Chris Wallace Sunday.

"The extent to which he can recover seems to me depends on his faith," said Hume. "He is said to be a Buddhist. I don't think that faith offers the kind of redemption and forgiveness offered by the Christian faith. My message to Tiger is, 'Tiger turn to the Christian faith and you can make a total recovery and be a great example to the world."

Woods is the most famous among several American celebrity Buddhists. Richard Gere, Herbie Hancock, Steven Seagal, Leonard Cohen, Tina Turner and Orlando Bloom were recently called the most famous Buddhists in the world. The list goes so far as to argue Tiger Woods is more famous than the Dalai Lama himself.

Hume's statements are particularly ironic given the recent sex scandals encountered by an assortment of Christian politicians.

He's quite the Christian now.

6. How disgusting... Perhaps someone should bring up the reasons

behind Hume's son's suicide, given that his hypocritical view and hateful exploitation of a bastardized form of "christianity" was surely a factor...

9. Did We Have the Reign of The Saints Between 2001 and 2009?

What, did we have the Reign of the Saints between January 20th, 2001 and January 20th, 2009? I must have missed it. :sarcasm:

When I think of 'Christian' these days, my first thoughts don't go to those good and decent people who feed the hungry, minister to the miserable, and visit the sick. Instead they go to those totem-waving, hate-spouting hypocrites who gladly lined up behind the vicious politics of the Radical Right and the callous hypocrisy of Dubya, Cheney, and today's Republican Party.

As one sentiment goes: "I get along with God just fine; it's his fan clubs I can't stand."

There are indeed genuine, practicing Christians out there and there are even genuine saints scattered among them, but I don't see very many of them among the talking heads of Rupert Murdoch's Faux Noise cable 'news" (infotainment) network.


:grr:

11. It's really up to his wife to forgive him

or not.

However, to be fair and balanced they should have a Buddhist on to give their side of the story.

16. What Hume really means that as long as you are a Christian it is okay to cheat on your wife.

He probably also believes that he would need to be a Republican too.


By the same logic Hume is saying that it also okay for a Christian to commit murder.

17. Hume is just an intolerant boob
