Brit Hume: Tiger Woods must become Christian to be forgiven

[dario73]

Brit should not have commented on conversion/difference in religions. I agree with you on that.

[BM OUT]

Well,he wasn't there as a newsman,he was there as a commentator on events.I see no problem with what he said.Its HIS opinion and he was asked HIS opinion.Why is that any different then that dummy Olbermann giving his opinion of peoples intelligence,most times hes commenting on people that are VASTLY smarter then him.Thats a commentators job to give his opinions.

EXACTLY!!!
 
Hume explained further on the O'Reilly Factor last night. He's a big fan of Woods, not only because of his golfing but because he thought Woods to be a guy of high character.

That image has now been shattered. Hume's comments were his view on how Woods can move forward with his life and seek redemption. Again, it was about Tiger Woods, THE MAN, not the golfer or the husband/father.

wonder which brand of Christianity Brit is referring to.
the far right, fundamentalist 'every word in the bible is true'
to presbyterians (pre ordained events)
to catholics (holy father in rome knows all)

there is a broad range to choose from.

Isnt that true of every religion?Im sure not every Muslim is strapping bombs to himself and yelling ALLAH AKBAR before blowing up a pizza joint,just like I see Jews with beards wearing all black and other Jews who appear to live the life of a pig in a stye[most hollywood jews].I dont think that just relates to Christianity.

YOU ARE excusing his behavior, in a sense, from the following statement, "So he likes to get laid. Other than the fact that he got caught, how is he any different from any other wealthy high profile man? Most wealthy, powerful men are only as faithful as their options.

Again, would that be your rationale, if your husband start creeping? "So he likes to get laid".

That would be your mentality, should your hubby exercise his "options"?

That's my mentality for any man whose adultery is none of my business

If my husband committed adultery, ...it would be a private matter between us... no one else,
...and anyone who wanted to weigh in on the matter would promptly be invited to zip it.

its not quite that easy dear a part of tigers appeal was his wholesome image. I agree that its not anybodies business but him and his wife but that doesnt mean that other ppl will not judge him b/c of his actions in his personal life and if those ppl feel he needs to be forgiven or they will view his sponsors unfavorably.

Its more of forgiving him for not being who everyone thought he was and who the companies sold him as rather than forgiving him for cheating on his wife.

And yet again, you forget the territory that comes with a high-profile guy. Again, nobody peered into Tiger Woods' private life. We all thought he got hurt in a car accident.

It turns out, again, that his wife got medieval on him. And, NOW, we know why. Add to that, all the "hoes" that are coming out the woodwork, claiming they got freaky with Woods; and you have all the makings of a PUBLIC scandal.

It ain't a private matter, anymore.

It may not be your buiness, ut it definately is the businessof his sponsors and corporate clients for lack of abetter erm who pay him millions and millions of dollars based upon the image tey think he gives to ther products.

Tiger's whoring can potentially cost them MILLIONS of $$$$. As his stock drops, so do their profits.

only god (not just any god though)Jesus Christ lord and Saviour should judge him....
The only one he needs forgiveness from is our father who kicks it in heaven.The Big J Dawg himself....

He should seek forgiveness from his sponsors as well.

And this is one of the big issues I have with it. Tiger never put himself out there to be anything other than a great golfer. Everything else is nobodies business, and he never put his sex life out for scrutiny. too many people look at celebrities and project onto them who they want them to be, without having a clue as to who they are, ...then they blame them for not measuring up to their own false image of who they are. this pisses me off to no end. just because you see someone portraying a 'character' in a film or TV show, or just because you see someone extremely proficient at a particular sport, ...doesn't mean they are who you want them to be. the public projects their own image of who they want Tiger to be, ...then fault him for not being it? that's BS! See the man for who he is... a great golfer. Everything else... vis-a-vis his private life, you don't know... and don't have a right to know.

If you've never been put up on a pedestal, against your own will, ...you have no idea what I'm refering to.

his whole image was of a clean cut straight laced guy, not a filthy whoremonger POFS.

LOL I agree with you jag but dont act like his sponsors didnt play up that image of him as a squeky clean guy. He signed up with those sponsors and by doing so did project that image to the public.

Ive been put on a pedestal against my will jag, have you?

[kcballer]

I completely agree Jag.  All these people 'butthurt' by Tigers infidelity are really retarded.  If you have such low self esteem that you have to look up to an athlete's personal life for inspiration in your every day life you really have more issues than Tiger's had woman (i know i know but still it's for effect).  I admire Tigers great dedication to the game of golf and always will.  His personal issues are his alone and i don't really think it's mine or your business.  If you purchased a GM or a razor because you thought 'hey Tiger is a great guy isn't he? I should buy this razor so i am too!' then like i said you have some serious issues.

More times than I care to recall.... that's why I abhor groupies. That's what the groupie mentality does;
it idealizes a person projecting onto them qualities, and character traits they may not possess.
Then they blame YOU for not epitomizing the figment of their own warped, bizarre, imagination.

The last time that I'm aware of, was particularly painful in many ways... particularly because I didn't see it coming.
I'm usually able to see the warning signs, ...but this time I missed them... come to think of it... they weren't really there.

The fool thought I was sitting at home every night reading a bible... and was crushed to discover that ain't my cup of tea.

What an idiot!
