Brit Hume turned evangelist on Fox New Sunday, in a segment with panelists predicting the future for Tiger Woods after Woods’ notable “transgressions” (now a 2009 top euphemism, along with “Appalachian Trail,” as a signifier for “mistress.”)
Hume forecasts Woods will recover as a golfer but
…Whether he can recover as a person depends on “his faith. He’s said to be a Buddhist. I don’t think that faith offers the kind of forgiveness and redemption that is offered by the Christian faith. So my message to Tiger would be, “Tiger, turn to the Christian faith and you can make a total recovery and be a great example to the world…”
Har!
#14 Ima Idiot – you made my day! Kudos and lol!
#10 I was glancing at the screen and thought you said Tiger is switching to jailbait.
I feel sorry for the poor bastard.
Brit must have gotten confused and thought he was on the 700 Club for a minute, or he was temporarily ‘channeling’ Pat Robertson.
I blame the large hadron collider.
Woods’s personal life is no one’s business except for he and his family’s. That is, of course, unless Hume also wants us to discuss his personal life.
If I was advising Woods, considering his proclivity for multiple mistresses, I would recommend that he convert to Mormon fundamentalism.
Buddha is DEAD, JESUS is ALIVE! Good on you Brit Hume! At least you believe in something and man enough to state it, unlike these cowards that believe we evolved from rocks and critisize everything Christian because of their meaningless misrable lives…..
( There is hope you know! )
Yes Fluffy! that is true about mormon ism! celestial sex in the after life, Give me a break! pervs
No, no, Tiger! Shun the Nazarene and come home to Pastafarianism! To symbolize being covered in shame for your transgressions, cover yourself with Ragu! (Stay away from those Classico and Newman’s Own heretics!)
My Classico is bigger than your Ragu.
I like the way Tiger golfs. His personal life is none of my business. I find it easy to believe that lots of golfers on the pro tour are banging bimbos — what’s the big shock here?
Christianity is a great religion for “sinners” because they can keep at it and always get just one more chance.
Just substitute the word “faith” with “credulity” in these quotes. Remember GWB’s credulity-based initiatives? An even funnier word than “faith” these days is the plural: faiths. Substitute the neologism “credulities” for that one & delicious absurdities abound.
The nice thing about Christianity is that it doesn’t actually require you to be good. You just have to be sincerely apologetic each and every time you do something nasty. As long as you’re “saved”, you’re in.
Very convenient religion for rich and powerful people.
