This is really typical. Somebody feels the need to shoot their mouth off about Buddhism, while its painfully obvious to many of us that this man simply has no clue as to what he's talking about. It would be nice if more people actually gave an effort to study and honestly be willing to learn more about the religious faith of someone else before making such comments. Unfortunately the arrogance of ignorance usually does prevail. Call it 'guts' if you want. Most people that I have met who choose to criticize the Buddhist religion have of course never actually given it much study. They just know that their religion is the 'true' religion and why don't YOU get it? A lot of this sort of ignorance just takes compassion.

Brit has guts! He must have known what the response would be, yet he said it anyway! I agree with some of what Mr. Hume said, just perhaps not the way he said it. There's no need to offend people, though I do not think that was his intent. He simply wasn't trying to qualify what he said, and for that I like him. Too often today people try to be politically correct -- it often (but not always) means you sacrifice your personal beliefs. I think he might better have said simply that Tiger needs Christ now, and for that I am thankful someone in the media seems to really care about him. I still support Tiger; he can overcome this, but only by turning to God, which means accepting Christ, who is the only way to God. Yes, I'm dogmatic about this. And I have a right to be, as an American, though that's not my reason for writing. In this day and age, all religions are viewed as equal. They're not. They are simply not. The others do not work. Oh, the others may provide some semblance of peace, but not the real thing, and they simply do not provide for salvation...yes, life after death, which can only be had by accepting Christ's sacrifice for your soul...no good deeds, no work in fact will save a person's soul. We're too far removed from God. I believe in Santa Claus? Maybe. All I know is it works for me, and it would work for Tiger. I really hope he'll take Brit's advice. I love it! Brit has guts!

Just look at what it did for Brit. And his family!! Why stop with Christianity?? Why not include Paganism, Witchcraftery, Wicca - etc. Tiger could even become an NRA/NASCAR Fundamentalist Repug! Using religion like a drunk uses a lamppost. Then, when Tiger sees a "stranger," he'll be trained to - leap back - as tho you stabbed him with a homosexual cattle prod. Then he can fall into a swoon about how neat it is that angels are out and about - and can actually fly!! You go, Brit!! Yup. Just look at what it did for Brit. And his family!!

It sounds more like advice from a PR consultant and I must admit that this could be the best course for Tiger to take. Modern Christianity has turned liabilities into assets by this 'prodigal son' effect. Geo Bush turned his cokin' and drinkin' and slutty ways into something like 30,000,000 evangelical votes and the presidency. Well, I’m guessing neither Brit or Tiger are big religious thinkers.
