tiger woods needs christianity like brit hume needs a chlorine enema.

You're saying he should be stoned to death?

Yes, he must learn to control his sexual urges from the grandmasters themselves - Christian priests.

Salvation is a very real experience in many peoples lives. My aunt who has been doing hard drugs in a life destructive way (coke, meth) has been transformed, reborn if you will. I commend Brit for what he was trying to convey, that there is hope and restoration in salvation. Likewise, it is hard to walk the middle path when you are the best golfer in the world...not very middle path at all really.

He doesn't need Jesus. What he needed were some balls. If you're gonna cheat, at least have the balls to end the marriage first. Otherwise, you're just a white trash slut.

It's his balls that got him in this mess, ZING!

What works Evan better than getting sum one to do good based a lie would be counseling.

an adult is capable of dealing with the fact that Santa clause is not real then they can deal with the fact that a big sky fairy that looks after them and send them to hell if they are bad is not real.

I bet there are Manny groups not based on lies and religious dogma that can help sum one far better than Christianity ever could.#

ultimately i don't believe fixing one problem with another problem is the solutoin Evan if for some people it brings them in line.

Love your neighbor as you love yourself is not a lie, thank you please drive through.

But you don't have to believe in Jesus or be a Christian to accomplish that.

And, true to form, Brit Hume is an ignorant fuck-head espousing untruths with reckless self-assuredness.

Forgiveness is a fundamental precept in Buddhism, and as someone has already pointed out, you never hear about Buddhists turning suicide bombers or waging holy war crusades.

You also won't hear many Buddhists sticking their noses into Tiger's business or passing judgment on him with condescension.

I have always found Buddhism rather neat personally. But I have to draw issue with your statement of forgiveness as a fundamental precept. The middle path doesn't usually care about forgiveness because it leads with the idea that people owe you things. The middle path is separate from such concerns. The real problem I would see with most Buddhist interjections into the life an any American is really, we don't want a middle path. We want stuff, to be the best, to life for this life! Buddhism isn't about that, it is about the flow of this life into the next, preparing yourself for the next phase. Living for the moment, and being a sports super star is incompatible with that world view...imo.

And what I heard from Hume was concern, not looking his nose down. Think of it from his perspective, he really things Christ could help this persons life, and that is how he said it. He thought, either in ignorance or wisdom, that Buddhism couldn't save him from his current situation and offered an answer. One could say it is out of place of a news anchor to not read news from his sheet however...but news hasn't been about that in ages.

And you don't hear about Buddhist extreamist because the media you listen to doesn't care.

Show me one case of Buddhist extremism other than the monks in Vietnam setting themselves on fire in protest of the war. I think there were some Buddhist monk protests in some country a while ago, but there sure as hell weren't any bombs going off.

Buddhism is about forgiveness. It's about letting go, among other things, and to think that Christianity has the market cornered on that front is nothing short of arrogance.

And if you think Brit Hume really means what he says, you should make absolutely certain that you never take candy from strangers.

You're not really paying attention, and you haven't looked at either Buddhism or Hume's character very closely at all.

Our Lady Rosa Mystica has been a source of friction between Catholic and Buddhist communities in Crooswatta for years. In the last four years, extremists have stopped the construction of the church, which is near a Buddhist monastery. In 2006 and 2007, the Church was targeted by Buddhist extremists, and construction was halted.

There is an ongoing problem with over-aggressive Christian proselytizing conducted in a dishonest and unethical manner by some conservative evangelical groups. Missionaries have targeted the poor with offers of money if they would renounce the Buddha, for example. They have distributed inflammatory literature, such as pamphlets condemning the Buddha as a reincarnation of Satan.

Yeah, those innocent Christians just minding their own business....

Sometimes it's really easy to hate Christians, and totally understandable, too.

They prey on the weak. They constantly go around pushing their beliefs onto other people, and then they call anybody who finally gets sick of their shit and stands up to them an "extremist."

They've been doing it for hundreds of years.
