Religious freedom, Fox News style
January 03, 2010 11:56 am ET by Jamison Foser
Fox's Brit Hume says Tiger Woods' faith is inadequate, urges him to become a Christian:
"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."
If this wasn't Fox News, I'd take "Tomorrow, 2 pm" in the when-will-Hume-apologize pool. But it is Fox, so "the Fifth of Never" seems like a safer choice.

















The True Believers who believe only they can walk in God's Shoes.
If you don't believe exactly as they believe, then to them you're already Dead.
Brit Hume is just the Symptom, News Corp. is the Disease who uses to Heartland to keep itself Fed.
Speak truth to power.
Mr. News
Sorry for the transposed word.
Mr. News
Stop making troll posts that are attached as replies but aren't actually replies at all! It's unfair to the other posters who follow patterns of not simply getting their posts up to the top of the pile.
If you have an issue with a post, use the abuse link.
Anything that's offensive is gone. Anything that's manifestly unskilled, spectacularly wrong, or skullcrushingly inane stays.
If YOU have an issue with my post, Bilbo_dies, use the 'report abuse' link, why don't ya? Or don't you see the irony in your post? Somehow it's okay for you to express your opinion about MY post, but it's not okay for me to do the same for someone else's post?
And if you don't see the same problems that I do with troll posts and the useless poetry and self-promotion that the poster "Bad News" contributes, then you can feel free to give him thumbs up and cheer him on. And I will continue to express my opinion.
And when I decide that I need your advice on how to run my life, as I've told you before, I'll be sure to let you know.
And no, I won't just let everyone post their opinions unencumbered if I believe that they are trying to make troll posts. I 100% disagree that it's beneficial to everyone to allow troll posts and trolls go unchallenged.
I don't have "narrow rules of proper blog decorum", much less "very narrow" rules. I follow very standard protocols in that respect.
People who are actually religious realize that religions make assertions of fact that are either correct or incorrect. They hope to follow the one that is correct in real life, regardless of its "ingredients".
People who fake religion for the rubes don't have the slightest interest in what is real. All that's left for them is the "ingredients".
The story here shouldn't be that Fox News is biased for Christianity. It should be that Fox News doesn't care a bit about Christianity and is peeing all over it.
As usual.
Think there'd be any repercussions??
Think there'd be any repercussions??
As a practicing Christian, your example above is so true and one of the biggest problems for real Christians in todays media society! Instead of being an example to follow, they are example of whats wrong with Christians. Sad!
C'mon, they already have a show hosted by the Rev. Huckabee. And then there is the holy Gospel According to Beck.
It's clear what path they're on.
Redemption:
Each Buddha and Bodhisattwa is a redeemer. I notice here Ti-tsang-wang p‘u-sa. He is called Yeu-ming-kiau-chu, "Teacher of the unseen world." Full of benevolence and grace towards mankind, he opens a path for self-reformation and pardon of sins.
"Christmas is a time when people of all religions come together to worship Jesus Christ."
(or not)
Not considering that the ideas of redemption, forgiveness and restoration are Christian doctrines, and are not possible in the Buddhist religion/philosophy, making Hume's assessment accurate.
Here's a quote: "Countless rebirths lie ahead, both good and bad. The effects of karma (actions) are inevitable, and in previous lifetimes we have accumulated negative karma which will inevitably have its fruition in this or future lives. Just as someone witnessed by police in a criminal act will eventually be caught and punished, so we too must face the consequences of faulty actions we have committed in the past, there is no way to be at ease; those actions are irreversible; we must eventually undergo their effects."
His Holiness the Dalai Lama, from 'Kindness, Clarity and Insight' (emphasis mine)
So this is just another example of MMFA's ignorant religious bigotry.
Garbage in, garbage out. It is that simple.
