Brit Hume of FOX News has taken it upon himself to criticize Tiger Woods once again for the professional golfer's religion and, in turn, his extramarital affairs. Following Woods's televised apology, Hume uttered the following comments on Monday's "The O'Reilly Factor": "I think, because I'm a Christian and I believe that Christianity is true, that Tiger Woods and his wife Elin would be a lot farther down the road toward forgiveness and redemption if they were both Christians. But they're not. And they're going to do the best they can with what they have."
"With what they have"? Is he referring to a religion practiced by approximately 350 million individuals worldwide? A religion which assists its followers in achieving nirvana and escaping a cycle of suffering and rebirth. But maybe Hume has a point. Let's take a quick look at this list of Christian "leaders": Tony Alamo, James Bakker, Ted Haggard and Jimmy Swaggart. With moral and honest individuals like that to emulate, why isn't everyone a Christian?
This is not the first occasion that Hume has criticized Woods and his religion. On an episode of "FOX News Sunday" from last month, Hume had the audacity to deliver these remarks regarding Woods: "The extent to which he can recover, it seems to me, depends on his faith. He is 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'."
