Brit Hume: Fox News proselytizer.
On Fox News Sunday, Brit Hume had some spiritual advice for Tiger Woods:
"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. 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.'"
Of course, some nit-pickers might wonder where the hell Hume gets off giving out spiritual advice to sports celebrities on his current affairs show. But that would be an unimaginative reaction.
Given Hume's position on comparative theology - probably 'Jesus rules and all other religions suck' - we can see why he'd be disparaging Buddhism. But as the Dalai Lama and Tiger Woods would know, appearances can deceive and there's one big part of Buddhism Hume and his fellow Fox Newsers would appear to have embraced wholeheartedly:
"In early Buddhism, maya referred to the deceptive nature of the ego and its perception of the world of appearances and forms, which an unenlightened individual accepts as the only reality."
Jeez, this sounds like it could be part of Fox News' mission statement.

This is typical Fox News right wing fundie xian bullshit. They are at the forefront of bigotry in all forms. Sadly, the majority of Amurkkkins are so mentally hobbled that they are oblivious to such destructive rhetoric.
