Hume Claims He's not Proselytizing While Still Proselytizing
Brit Hume has apparently never heard the phrase, when you're in a hole, quit digging. From The O'Reilly Factor Jan. 4, 2010.
O'Reilly: Was that proselytizing?
Hume: I don't think so. I mean, look, Tiger Woods is somebody I've always rooted for as a golfer and as a man. I've greatly admired him over the years and I always have said to people that it was the content of his character that made him beyond his extraordinary golf skills so admirable. Now we know that the content of his character is not what we thought it was. He is paying a frightful price for these revelations. My sense is that he is basically, has lost his family and there's a lot of talk about the endorsements he's lost but that pales I suspect in his mind with what he's lost otherwise.
And my sense of that Tiger is that he needs something that Christianity, especially provides and gives and offers and that is redemption and forgiveness and I was really meaning to say in those comments yesterday more about Christianity than I was about anything else. I mentioned the Buddhism only because his mother is a Buddhist and he has apparently said that he is a Buddhist. I’m not sure how seriously he practices that. But I think… I think that Jesus Christ offers Tiger Woods something that Tiger Woods apparently needs.
Talking to another Idiot!
republicanism/conservatism is a mental illness that is killing America!
going 'preacher religious' about a young man that has real problems and needs real help--not to be castigated about his beliefs..Stupid Stupid- So disingenuine and righteous--like the rest of the conservative republican preachers...Horrid horrid people!
like better than interviewing each other.
By their constant lies and BS attacks against the democrats and Obama lack of balls to strike back and also keep his campaign promises the democrats have certainly lost the independent votes and lots of democrats as myself are sick and tired of their policies which are same as Bush's administration and the total censor and protection Obama & democrats are given to their crimes..
If republicans told control of the government from a democratic administration as Obama and democrats did , they would have wasted no time attacking the policies of them...
So why are the democrats going out of their way to protect and stop any and all prosecutions to them..
Something stinks to high heaven in the democrat party.
None
Are lacking the backbone to attack them.. The republicans and their news controlled outlets say and do anything they wish... But the democrats are afraid to open their mouth , and if one does they attack them and tell them to shut up..
Have we elected too many republicans on the democratic ticket , that they are now attacking and destroying our party from within...
Where are the John , Robert and Ted Kennedys' to attack these a.. holes back..
Seems as if Emanuel and the Clintons which are controlling every action and policy the democratic party does , and is destroying it from within...
I can not believe these so called centrists and blues do not know that they are destroying OUR party by making it the left wing of the republican party...
We will be destroy if we do not vote these republican voting democrats out of office in the democratic primary election for a real democrat....
None
Yes, because Tiger so very much needs the forgiveness of some ancient desert prophet who may or may not have existed. Not like his wife is important or anything.
Is Hume turning Christians into intolerant radicals?
Is this a new religion? It's not Christianity so it must be Humeianity.

Nor is it news.
What a complete jerk. nuff said.
by publicly responding to Mr. Hume, "Sorry Mr. Hume but I don't believe in fairy tales"
=)
Nothing like insulting Buddhists or any other religion besides Christianity. Hume is nothing but a bigot.
I thought it made you enlightened.
The charge of bigotry gets tossed around entirely too much.
Who insulted all religions? Bitch Hume insulted Buddhism not all the other BS religions. What is your point? 1 Point is Buddhism rejects "gods" it is individual actions not beliefs that shape a life. " Nothing outside your life can aid in elightrment, enlightment comes from within each individual's life" in other words it's each individual and not a "god" that enables enlightenment. I could go on but whAT'S THE POINT.

Tiger Woods having extra-marital flings - that what Hume finds to be a flaw in Tiger's character that needs messianic intervention.
But Bush or Obama - slaughtering the innocent with drones - well - no need to call on Jesus there.
So what can Jesus offer Tiger that he needs right now, a good lawyer or a good PR guy?

1 : to induce someone to convert to one's faith
2 : to recruit someone to join one's party, institution, or cause
No, Brit, trying to induce Tiger to convert his faith from Buddhism, or trying to recruit Tiger to join the cause of Christianity isn't proselytizing. Unless you count the actual definition.
As I said yesterday, they ought to simply merge with the 700 Club, hire Pat Robertson as their "news" anchor, hire Pat Buchanan to strip down Muslims and torture them live, and show donkey porn movies. If you're going to pander to the lowest common denominator for the ratings, why pretend? Go for it.
Dictionaries are the work of the Devil!!!
So if Jesus forgives Tiger it will save Tiger's marriage and his reputation? Why the hell didn't Hume give President Clinton that advice about nine or so years ago?
Maybe Hume has some experience in this field of infidelity. I know Beck says religion saved him when he hit bottom. I just figured it out. Fox is doing promos for Jesus.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
... Christ would reply, "Away from me, you evildoers! I know you not!"

Among the tenets of Buddhism is avoiding sexual irresponsibility, not harming any other living thing and avoiding stealing from and oppressing others. He apparently abandoned these precepts long ago. If Woods would work sincerely on the tenets of his religion, he might find himself -- and nirvana.
The right question- If Budda was Tiger Woods, WWBD- What would Budda do?

hey, tiger, hume is just playing you his redemption song.
and that tune goes like this: your 'redemption' is NOT in the eyes of buddha, or jesus, or his blessed noodliness. but, as hume and the rabid theocrats would have it, your redemption before the rightwing. through conversion, you wouldn't redeem yourself before some divinity, you would merely redeem yourself in the eyes of the nutjobs.
and, by so doing, the rightwing fundies would then "forgive" you. you merely have to turn your back on your deep-seated spiritual beliefs. no biggie.
What the hell does religion have to do with a sports star who cheated on his wife? I doubt Tiger is looking to Hume for advice these days. I also doubt he is shopping for a new religion either.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
Hume: "I think that Jesus Christ offers Tiger Woods something that Tiger Woods apparently needs."
Personally I think Trojan condoms and hot chicks offer something Tiger Woods apparently needs. Jesus never got anybody laid.
NOW, FINALLY, I like Tiger Woods. Something besides his endless hawking of products and his silly game to admire the guy for...
Perhaps he misinterpreted all those "Ohgodohgodohgodohgodohgodohgods" of his cheatrix?

Hume is a proselytizing steaming stOOl.
since you've he is someone you've "always rooted for as a golfer and as a man..." and you've "...greatly admired him over the years and I always have said to people that it was the content of his character that made him beyond his extraordinary golf skills so admirable..." it's NOT proselytizing when you tell him he needs to get his christ on to 'be forgiven' for things you, Brit Hume, think are sins?
What a condescending turd.

... but I am a Christian/Catholic. People like the raving nutters on the right will immediately say I'm not a 'real' Christian because I don't do the funky evangelical chicken and hate the gays, etc.
Do I need my faith? How would I know? Stop believing for a week or so?
Do others benefit from it? Damned skippy - not because I'm praising Jesus aloud or thumping the Bible, but because I do give to charity, and I have counseled younger people - not by citing Scripture, but through the insight provided by a Jesuit education.
Do I require others to believe in the same thing? No.
I honestly don't care if you believe or not, because it has very little to do with the depth or sincerity of my faith.
And with that, I will honor your request and leave you alone.
Funky evangelical chickenist isn't something you "do."

I don't agree that because you give to charity that somebody benefits from your faith.
They benefit from you.
Your actions.
Not your belief.
I give anybody credit who gives to others who are less fortunate. I do the same. People benefit because of what I actually do. Not what I may or may not believe.
I have counseled young folk as well. Again, our actions speak, not our beliefs.
... is informed by both my faith and my intellect. So it's indirect.
However, not ALL donations are out of that same combination. If I donate to a political cause or something like EFF, that's almost entirely out of reason/intellect.
Interesting how you imply that you require some religious belief to do the right thing.
It's a common failing I've noticed amongst the religious I know.
They happen to be compatible.
I don't buy the tripe that laws exist ONLY because of some myth about God lobbing a couple of stone tablets at Moses, because different faiths all espouse a basic ethical code, and Atheism is not the same as being a sociopath.
(George W. Bush, on the other hand, pretty much qualifies as a sociopath, and he's a professed Christian.)
You will not understand that a concept like "faith" is not capable of "doing" anything.
That's cool.
And BTW - by leave us alone, I mean stop telling us that we need christianity for something in our lives to be better...you know...like hume did.
I certainly do not want to shut off communication of all sorts because we have different systems of living.
I can ramble on about what shapes my beliefs, but I won't bore you with that.
My wife is Wiccan, so I don't subscribe to Hume's philosophy at all. (But I can hold my own in religious nattering enough to have had evangelical co-workers tell me I have a calling.)
U on their side.
Long live Wicca!

I know what yer sayin' there. I have nothing against people having religion, ...but the really crazy ones do need to STFU. It's the humility and believing in something greater than yourself. Nothing wrong with that.
For me it's the universe, and we're just specks, and you are me, and I am you. (Eastern stuff.)

... about the five blind men and the elephant. Each has a specific interpretation of what the elephant is, and the others must clearly be wrong/stupid.
But the truth is, the elephant/universe/God is bigger than we realize, and not only are we deficient in our senses, we've only got a hold of the tiniest sliver of truth.
of how some people are so certain that their way is the right way. I think the less you educate yourself the easier it is to do this.
I've never said my way is the right way, and I don't push it on anyone. I am not religious, I'm an atheist.
The best term I can find to describe myself is transtheistic (minus any gods therein).
far left loon >.<
But the religious in their infinite ignorance kept telling me that was a religion.
So after some due and diligent reflection I have come to the conclusion that I am not so much an atheist (too many different definitions depending on who you ask), I am just not superstitious.
What I am is reality biased.
It's really tough to find the right label isn't it?
I'm not superstitious. I think I can best say I am in a kind of awe at the vastness of universe, and its power/energy, and realize my humble short mortality within it.
far left loon >.<
No need to toss in some highly improbable overlords from another dimension to add some meaning to my life when I already know that the universe is vast and I am just a tiny meaningless speck on a slightly larger tiny speck floating somewhere in the middle of it.
That is awesome enough on it's own, and far more fascinating.
We could realize that and use it as a licence to do as we please, because we are so meaningless, OR, get off on how funky it is that we are even here to begin with, share it together, forget about our trivial and meaningless differences, and love each other like crazy. Enjoy the ride, woo-hoo.
I know which one I chose.
far left loon >.<
I think (IMHO) that knowing this makes it more likely that one would take notice of how unique everything is and that it all has intrinsic value, far more so than those that feel that this is all just made specially for them to trash, abuse and use until they get called to another dimension to live eternally in bliss because they said the right words or made the right hand movements.
I know in my case this is true, knowing that there is no such thing as divine redemption and that any negative actions I take will have direct consequences on the environment around me instills a feeling of connectedness that I just can't see being available to someone who truly believes this is just a waiting room for some better place.
As if there is anything better than this weird and wonderful universe.
That's why I love my wee garden (here in Concrete City): the "miracle" of all the things I grow (and seeds!!). My quiet little oasis. I love to watch the bees and ants working away happily. I just know everything is somehow right. I even get out my magnifying glass so I can see tiny details. I suspend thought and just "be".
PS Seeds are "magic". Just add water and see what happens; full of surprises!! (Maybe there is a god-- hee he he). ;)

... the the Christ Jesus of FOX News, Brit Hume, Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity, John Gibson, Glenn Beck, et al had forgiven your transgressions? Do you get a warm, tingly feeling all over? Voices whispering in your ear?
Or is it that forgiveness begins with HONESTY, a trait notably lacking over on Planet Murdoch, and also requires making amends to those harmed by your inconsiderate and/or deliberate choices (i.e. Elin)?
create a Paris Business Review....
one of the missing commandments...
So if you are in one religion and you break some of that religions rules you can just shop for another religion that will not hold breaking that rule against you? Will perhaps give you a by on that sin? Do Christians take sinners with pre-existing sinning conditions? Do Buddhist cancel people who sin while in their religion? Maybe we need an overhaul in heaven insurance.

Plus, don't forget how much $$$ they have to pay these idiot talking heads. They have to get their moneys' worth out of these high-priced carny barkers.

It seems to me, in America, in general, there is now a popular belief that if you embrace Jesus all your sins will be forgiven (ezpz, just go to church). I further believe it is also seen as a license to sin, anymore, as in, sin away because you're Christian and everything and anything you do is (automatically) forgiven.
far left loon >.<
but not "automatically". Depending on which cult you belong to, you get a list of things to do to gain forgiveness.
Almost never measurable. So what's the point? Just what you said.
I'm not religious, but I always thought religion was to make you think, and behave humbly, so you wouldn't sin. If, on the off chance you did sin, Jesus would take you back.
Now, I see people as behaving as if they are impregnable and can go around and do whatever the fuck they please because they are Christian. For example: It's OK for me to cheat on my wife because I will be forgiven: I embrace Jesus.
Do you see the distinction I'm making? It's like it's been turned upside down; cart before the horse.
far left loon >.<
All that is required is that you internally ask for forgiveness in the second before you snuff it and all is forgiven.
The only danger is that you get whacked so fast that you don't have time to repent in your head. That is why it is always best to ask forgiveness for what you did immediately after you commit the crime.
"When I was young I prayed for a bicycle. I didn't get one. So I stole a bicycle and asked God for forgiveness instead."
Excellent Plan B
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
religious types "know" they can be forgiven by "god" so they skip A and go right to B.

I've asked this before on another thread, and I'll ask it again, why does anyone cares what Brit Hume has to say on Tiger Wood's personal problems? He is not a counselor, or a priest, just a person who gets paid to open his mouth and let the sound come out.
I will admit though, it's creepy when some guy on T.V. come out and proselytizes about someone who is well-known. And then turns around and goes; " Oh no! Not me! I didn't do what I just did!"

What a weanie. Maybe character advice could come from some other outstanding Christian Republican role models; Ted Haggard, John Ensign, David Vitter, Mark Sanford, Larry Craig, et al. Tiger at least had the decency not to trumpet his infallibility; he merely sold it as endorsements.
I assume Woods never hypocritically preached to others how they should live either. Maybe just how they should swing a club
"And my sense of that Tiger is that he needs something that Christianity, especially provides and gives and offers and that is redemption and forgiveness and I was really meaning to say in those comments yesterday more about Christianity than I was about anything else."
----------------------------------------------------------------------
redemption:
1. The act of redeeming or the condition of having been redeemed.
2. Recovery of something pawned or mortgaged.
3. The payment of an obligation, as a government's payment of the value of its bonds.
4. Deliverance upon payment of ransom; rescue.
5. Theology Salvation from sin through Jesus's sacrifice.

"The Communist, like the Christian, believes that his doctrine is essential to salvation, and it is this belief which makes salvation possible for him. It is the similarities between Christianity and Communism that make them incompatible with each other."

Does converting to Christianity give you jowls?
it is the guaranteed forgiveness of hume's Christianity that provide him and his ilk the get out of jail free card that promotes their unlimited cravenness, callousness, and actions so opposite to what Jesus taught.
It's amazing the leaps that Christians make to appear as though they are being persecuted. It's clear in the original video that Brit Hume was at least implicitly attacking Buddhism and all other beliefs or secular worldviews as being incapable of providing an avenue for contrition. It's clear that he didn't realize it but he publicly stated his belief system is superior and that all other philosophical stances are inferior to his views as a Christian. Neither he nor Oreilly can understand why people could be outraged by his comments and blame it on this perceived Jesus hatred when the outrage comes from a hatred for this neocolonialist push for indoctrination and conversion in the world. I use the term neocolonialist because just like the colonizers before Hume didn't even realize that he was the aggressor and that other people outside of the group have rights and feelings and views that are valid.. You don't even have to get into the theology of the Christian faith that allows for absolution without accepting responsibility to take offense to this.

I think we should thank Brit Hume for saying out load what many already knew about the American version of Christianity; it isn't about living the principles of Christ it's about doing whatever you want to do and THEN being forgiven for your transgressions. If Tiger didn't "get" the principles of Karma and cause and effect that are involved with Buddhism then I doubt that being a Christian would have stopped him from cheating on his wife either. And isn't that the part Hume should be focusing upon? How could Christianity have kept him FAITHFUL to his wife and children? But that's not what American Christians are worried about...they worry about being forgiven for the crimes they commit not what keeps them from committing crimes.
And they wonder why the rest of the world hates them....
Jesus said "Turn the other cheek." George W. Bush said "I will get revenge!" At least GW will be forgiven (Somehow I don't think that this is what Jesus was thinking about when he sacrificed himself for the sins of others)
Here's the real danger in Shit Fume's blather:
"When they came for the Jews, I was silent because I was not a Jew.
When they came for the Gypsies, I was silent because I was not a Gypsy.
When they came for the Homosexuals, I was silent because I was not a homosexual.
When they came for the Catholics, I was silent because I was not a Catholic.
When they came for me, I cried for help, but there was no one left to help me."
Substitute Buddhist anyplace in the above quotation.
The far-right Christian fanatics, like Hume, are treason in a secular democracy. This turd needs to shut his mouth and re-read the Bill of Rights about religious freedom and quit shoving his narrow views up our collective ass.
