Family Council president defends Brit Hume’s Tiger Woods comments

It’s not a matter of agreeing with the position, that’s not the argument. The argument is whether a man who is paid to be a journalist should abuse that status by proselytizing about religion on national television. I wonder what the Family Council’s position would have been if Hume had suggested that Woods adopt the preachings of Allah?

So with that question (and the obvious answer) the point, again, is not the question of Christ or not. The question is whether Hume or any other journalist should be using their position on television to interject religious beliefs and ideals into journalism.

I think Brit Hume should embrace intelligence. Actually, Brit understands that “embracing Christianity” usually covers you in our society for all manner of transgressions.

Gee, I think that on every newscast everyone should tell us what their religious beliefs are, and how those beliefs are the only “true” and “right” beliefs, and who they think should convert to their belief system in order to succeed/recover/be successful/whatever.

“I’m Larry Wilson, but before I give you the sports report, let me tell you that I am a Seventh Day Adventist, the only true way, and that if we could just move all sporting events from Saturdays, the teams would all post winning records because they’d be keeping the Sabbath Day”.

Just embrace God and everything will be forgotten. Maybe a few tears on TV would also help

Hayzeus … and others who oppose Brit Hume and what he stands for….

Why do you think there has been the outrageous moral decline in our country? Thirty years ago we wouldn’t have even heard talk about same sex marriages, people killing their families, etc. let alone see these things happening right before our eyes.

The world needs to wake up. We cannot continue to live our own way, determining our own standards for what is right and wrong, and not suffer consequences. Why do you think the Bible says, “Honor your father and your mother, don’t commit adultery, do not steal, etc.” Are these not good things?

I say AWESOME job Brit Hume! Stand up for Jesus, as a Newscaster, as a School Teacher, as a Judge, or whatever profession one is in! It is about time the Christians in this country start standing up and saying we will not be bullied anymore! The real truth is Jesus is the answer, it is not a opinion! So Allah, Buddha, whatever your other false idol might be will lead you strait into hell.
So I will stand against the lies of other false dogmas that lead on in to hell and STAND FAST and speak life to people NO MATTER WHAT JOB I HAVE!!

So yeah I agree Sportscaster, Cook, whatever should share the Gospel especially in the nation that was founded on Christ! So I have great great joy from deep with in my heart that Brit Stood up and Spoke Life towards Tiger Woods! Keep it up! Stand fast!

Brit Hume should suck his own, and keep his mouth shut!

Brit Hume is to be commended for having the courage of his convictions!! He should also be commended because what he said is 100% true. Jesus Christ is the answer.

Also, the idea that religious speech has no place in the public square is preposterous. Read our founding documents.

All of us and fall short of God’s Glory, but that doesn’t change the Truth.

Woo Hoo! Thank you Brit for standing up for your faith! We should all be so bold. We don’t want to be oppressed by the 10 Commandments, but wouldn’t we all be better off if we followed them? All paths do NOT lead to God. Freedom of religion? Sure! Just not Christianity. Freedom of speech? Sure! Just as long as you don’t tell someone that what they’re doing is WRONG! God bless Brit Hume!

The only true religion is Mormonism. No other religion is legitimate. Jesus said so to the Indians.

“Why do you think the Bible says, “Honor your father and your mother, don’t commit adultery, do not steal, etc.” Are these not good things?”

The bible also says that disobedient children should be taken to the gates of the city and stoned to death – is that not a good thing? And the godly evangelists who cheat the old and the poor – and the priests who rape children – I guess they just ask for forgiveness after their crimes & all is OK.

And where, exactly are christians being “bullied?” Last I checked, Christians spend a lot of time dishing it out – to “false” religions, gay people & others who don’t have a lot of clout. Just listen to scumbags like Pat Robertson, James Dobson & others. Luckily people seem to be wising up to them of late.

I wonder if Brit gave the same advice to Clinton, Jackson, Sanford, Vitter, The Catholic priests in Ireland, Ensign …jeez I have to stop before the list exceeds the allowable space…… let’s see Spitzer, Giuliani, McCain, Dole, Edwards……….of course all except Spitzer were able to overcome the Christian chicanery and instead adhered to “Just Do It”

I saw him make that comment and I immmediately vomited Jesus christ. Anyone have a spare one? i can’t believe he said that on national tv.

The Wicked generation speaks. Moral relativsim and Christianity bashing, wicked, wicked, wicked.

And this country continue to swirl the drain.

99% of the posts I have seen about Hume show 0% of true understanding of Christianity. Thank your liberal, leftist teachers and your vapid, social contracts with media, hand held devices, empty social networks and silly college lib brainwashing.

Brit Hume is absolutely right. Embrace Christianity, praise the lord. I’m sure that was what Tiger was doing when he was in bed with all those hot women who were not his wife.

All of you who have been misled by the New Testament will be sent into the burning, fiery depths of hell when the new messiah comes!!!

… Seriously, why don’t Jews ever say ridiculous crap like this? Are they the only level-headed ones or what?

How would you buttheads feel if I became a news reporter and started advocating atheism? I bet you’d be quite upset. But now there’s a precedent, so I may just do that.

… Seriously, why don’t Jews ever say ridiculous crap like this? Are they the only level-headed ones or what?

Jews aren’t faithful in America any more, and hardly observant as a group. They have replaced honoring G_d with worshiping liberalism and pursuing material things. So it is.

As for your athiesm rant, who cares. At least an athiest would be more true to his own misguided faith in material reductionism than the Katie Courics of the world who bow down before false idols of the secular fiath and political correctness and democratic race-based demagoguery. Uggh. At least have a conviction.

I can appreciate Brit’s concern for tiger woods.
my concern as i’m sure many others had been growing also.
Brit reached out in a way that he knows. I don’t think the intent is to deny anothers ancient beliefs when those people who were wise and had great knowledge offered their people a righteous path or direction. So how do we get there? Lets have some tolerance and consider it.

Renae said, “Thirty years ago we wouldn’t have even heard talk about same sex marriages, people killing their families..” Yeah, I think same-sex marriage should be in the same category as killing your family – very similar concepts, love and hate. And a couple of thousand years ago Cain killed Abel, but I guess nobody heard about that until 30 years ago. Either that or people are reading their bibles selectively – or maybe letting the televangelists read it for them. Why is it that all the “christians” who respond to these posts are so gol-darned mean? They make their religion SO attractive.

Christian Science is the only true religion, all others are false and will be sent to hell. I know this because God told me, and my neighbor said so too.

Sorry guys–Siddhartha Guatama heard about this and he’s coming back from nirvana to throttle Brit Hume until he learns that there is only One True Way. And should Christ dare return to earth, the Buddha will snap that skinny boy like a twig.

“As for your athiesm (sic) rant, who cares. At least an athiest would be more true to his own misguided faith in material reductionism than the Katie Courics of the world who bow down before false idols of the secular fiath and political correctness and democratic race-based demagoguery. Uggh. At least have a conviction.”

After reading some of this incomprehensible claptrap, is there any more proof needed that religion is a type of mental disorder? Incidentally, atheism and secularism don’t involve any kind of “faith.” This is something that religious types just don’t seem to get. Faith involves a misguided & dogmatic belief in something for which there is no evidence.

The only true religion is Greek Orthodox. All others will be sent to hell. Why is this Greek to you? Only the Greek Orthodox do things as God intended. And my brother-in-law Zorba told me this so I know it is true.

I agree with George Carlin, who said that the 10 commandments can actually be boiled down to just 2. To quote the great man:

“Thou shalt always be honest and faithful to the provider of thy nookie.

&

Thou shalt try real hard not to kill anyone, unless of course they pray to a different invisible man than you.

Two is all you need; Moses could have carried them down the hill in his f****n’ pocket. I wouldn’t mind those folks in Alabama posting them on the courthouse wall, as long as they provided one additional commandment:

Thou shalt keep thy religion to thyself.”

Minnesota Family Council should really be called Minnesota Christian Family Council. Unless I missed where they advocated people convert to Judaism, or Islam, or Buddhism, or atheism anchored in a moral code, in order to promote family values among Minnesotans.

Its a free country – they can advocate what they want. But they shouldn’t be surprised if those of us with different-but equally moral-beliefs push back a bit on their religious advocacy

Tim – i was waiting for you to include the Great Spagetti Monster in your religious observations – but since GSM controls everything, including what you and i think (GSM reminded me of this last night) – you probably know it already

Mill,

I once followed the idolatrous Great Spagetti Monster (note that he dropped the “h” from his middle name, which is just what Jesus H. Christ did, this proves that GSM is the anti-Christ).

Regardless, the only true religion is Dutch Reformed, because it is only through a miracle that someone Dutch could be reformed. And my boss Art Van Delay told me so, and I believe him.

HOW DARE THEE USE MY NAME IN VAIN!!!!!!!!

the bottom line is brit hume is saying the christian faith is superior to another when we know he would be personally offended if someone else were to tell him their faith was superior to his. christians go around being offended all the time as though they’re being persecuted because they can’t have a ten commandments plaque in front of a court, but they have NO trouble going around telling others how inferior they are. ridiculous and hypocritical. not to mention that a news anchor’s place is not to give opinion. they are to be objective and just report the news.

if jews worship obtaining material things then evangelicals worship the cheeseburger because they are among the fattest group in the country. not kidding. i read a whole study on it. oh yeah, evangelical christians also have the higest divorce rate in the country. how do you like them apples? oh wait, you don’t… MCDONALDS CHEESEBURGERS AND DONUTS

Stop all the nonsense about religions, this is the 21 century not the dark age any more.

I am a born again Christian who heard Mr . Hume’s remarks as they were spoken on the news show. I thought that the remarks were inappropriate. As Christian’s our earthly lives should reflect the peace and hidden glory that we will become after death. As I live my life in a Christian manner, others will come to me seeking my ” secret. ” That is the point at which I will have the opportunity to witness Jesus as my savior. Christian scripture is very clear that we should never judge another person’s stance with God. The Pharisee’s always judged others standing with God based on outward appearances and religious rituals. Jesus was very specific in only that God can judge what is a person’s heart. I do not know Tiger Wood’s standing with God. I do know that I have peace in my life even with the recession raging around us and terrorists threathening us. I have peace. I do not know what will happen day to day, but I know where my life’s story ends.
And for all those who have the urge to attack this message, let me respectfully say. It was not written for you. It was written for those who are seeking a path to God. And that path is accepting the fact that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God; That Jesus died for your sins, and that accepting Jesus as your personal Savior means that you have passed from death to life. Eternally. Peace.

“Thank your liberal, leftist teachers and your vapid, social contracts with media, hand held devices, empty social networks and silly college lib brainwashing.”

With comments like that, it’s easy to see how the dark ages could return. This anti-intellectualism, anti-education, leave-your-brain-at-the-door mentality brought to us by modern christianity is proof that knowledge is a threat to it.

I feel bad for people like Dave who somehow have come to the conclusion that Christianity is anti-intellectual. History would prove that to be a fairly foolish statement.

The regular attack of the American education system on Christianity is well documented. The anti-intellectual twist is just one more attack.

So Dave, have you ever been to a college or university before or are you just guessing about what you think happens there?

Cain and Able… One did wrong (went against God) right? And didnt’ one experience negative consequences?

Have you read the Bible? It is a guide for live. Do what God says is right, and you will be blessed. Don’t do what God says, and experience negative consequences.

As you read through the Bible, you can see that in every case, when one disobeys God, you suffer. Examples: Cain and Abel, David and Bathsheba, the Israelites…and on and on and on.

What don’t you read it?

Reane,

Jesus suffered terribly. Apparently he went against God? Same with Peter. Stephen. The priests at Nob. John the Baptist. Naboth the Jezreelite. Zechariah. Isaiah. The infants of Bethlehem. “Do what God says is right, and you will be blessed. Don’t do what God says, and experience negative consequences”. What Bible are you reading?

Brit Hume overlooked a serious statistic…the rate of divorce among born again Christians is no better than for non-believers like Woods.

In other words, being a born again Christian doesn’t make for a better family life.

In fact, Asians…most of whom are Buddhist and Muslim are less likely of all groups to experience a divorce

Barna Research Group, which does religious polling in the US came out with a controversial and eyepopping study that challenged the often assumed notion that born again Christians are more family centered than the rest of the population.

What is worse is that they are now defending what Pat robertson said about Hati.

its past sinful, its a disgrace, hateful, full of bigotry and i am ashamed to be part of the same country that houses people like those who run the MFC

nps

You are confused. Try to understand quotation marks.

You say “The regular attack of the American education system on Christianity is well documented.”

Maybe if the basis of christianity was not easily proved wrong by evidence, logic, and reason, that would not happen.
