WHAT? Who is Brit Hume to tell anyone that their faith is basically inferior and that Christianity is the only religion with REAL forgiveness and redemption. How self righteous and pompous can one person be?

I am sure the Pharisee’s and Saducee’s were offended by the things Christ said as well.
Again, man presumes to speak for God.
I actually see very little difference in being called marginal and being called an infidel.
Uh, no. Just that I have read the Gospels. When they crucify a man for what he said, it doesn’t take much to arrive at the conclusion that the one’s doing the crucifying were “offended” by what was said.
I didn’t necessarily mean THOSE men.
I don’t care much for Christianity being exclusionary. It goes against my faith. Furthermore, some of the meanest cusses I have ever known can quote scriptures like there is no tomorrow.
I am one of those who believes in quietly sharing by example rather than with a trumpet. To each his own, however. And what I heard out of Brit Hume’s mouth was…let’s just say it lacked the humility Christ spoke of.
There are different flavors of Christian. One is not better than the other. We may think so in our hearts but to speak of it…not so good and not so polite.
Wasn’t that Christ’s beef with “those men” ? Couldn’t they be classified as “marginal” Jews? They adhered to the letter of the law, but were dead to the spirit of the law.
If I might suggest, and if you are so inclined, perhaps a reading of the Gospel might help. The parts in red are especially good 😉
“There are different flavors of Christian. One is not better than the other. We may think so in our hearts but to speak of it…not so good and not so polite.”
On this we can agree. “Sprinkle vs. Dunk”, Transubstantiation, etc. etc. are arguments devised by man. Ephesians 4:29: Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.
Saved,
I don’t think Moon Howler needs to bone up on anything in the bible. How you treat the people around you, how STAND up for those that are the most vulnerable in society is more of Christs teachings I imagine than any simple word on a page could demonstrate!
I would suggest a little dose of humility. I have no intention of bible thumping or verse smack-downs with you. You don’t know what I read or don’t read and I am finding this entire converstaion offensive for this blog.
I would never presume to judge anyone else’s relationship with God.
Don’t waste your time. Religion is your right and doesn’t have to be explained to anyone, and certainly NOT on a blog. Of course a “religious” blog would be fine, but this blog is not.
Corr: Don’t waste YOUR time. Religion is YOUR right and doesn’t…..
So much offense taken when none is offerred? Ms. Elena, I would suggest you read this thread. Christians are attacked through out. If there is anyone who should take offense from the comments, I think I could claim my share. Humility? I don’t hold myself any higher than anyone else here…just a saved sinner.
What I find humorous is all I have done is encouraged some people to explore the faith they claim to hold so dear, and make sure that it is indeed aligned with the teachings of Christ. All Mr. Hume did was to encourage Tiger to look to Jesus, and I believe the way he did it, while perhaps poorly worded, was based in a desire for Tiger to rebuild his life. Yet the howls here were legion. Why? Because he is a Christian? Because he is a conservative? I have checked my motives. Have you? Posters here have “born false witness” in discussing rumors of a purported affair between Mr. Hume and a female anchor. Poster’s here have characterized all FNC viewers as lecherous angry white men, a nd YOU are offended by an honest discussion about faith? I have read many posts on this blog, and there is PLENTY that a Christian conservative could be offended by. Are all devout, bible-believing Christians “angry white men”, or just those who watch Fox News? I have read your blog for quite some time. I have read the origins entry. I have read the site you call “the Dark site”. I see the same type of commentary on both. Have you defended Christians? Do you yell at the outrageousness of the banning of nativity scenes, or the attempts to drive any expressions of Christian faith out of the public square, or do you yell “I am offended”. I wonder why that is?
When faced with challenges like the ones presented here, I pray and seek our scriptural guidance. I think Mark 6:11 definitely applies here. If you will excuse me, I have a little dust to shake from my sandles. Peace.
Saved,
I am not sure how much specific I can be regarding this thread. Had Mr. Hume been Jewish, Buddist, Muslim, Taoist, or any other religion, I would have been JUST as offended. Listen closely, this issue has N-O-T-H-I-N-G to do with Christianity. Once again, it has do with suggesting that a religion someone practices, in this case Buddism, is NOT sufficient to find forgiveness and peace. THAT is what is offensive. Please stop playing the victim, it is baseless and not relevant to the topic being discussed.
I have checked my motives quite well when authoring this thread and I will continue to stand by my assertion, that NO ONE, has the right to claim their religion is superior to anyone elses belief. And that, is precisely, what Brit Hume did.
Obviously this is going to be a controversial thread.
Saved, Christians were not attacked. Christians are not victims. If you think that, you have missed the point. Christians of all varieties do not get a free pass on insulting people of other religions. That’s just the way it is.
Christians worship in different ways and while all have their beliefs centered around Jesus Christ, they can be as different as day and night. That is why we have 3 major divisions of Christianity: Orthodox, Roman Catholic, and Protestant. Within those 3 branches are many subdivisions, orders, or whatever you want to call them. The protestants have different denominations.
While I might believe my brand is better than someone else’s brand, I would never say so. That just should not be done in the public forum. Fortunately in America, Christians as well as those of other faiths can worship their God as they see fit. They should be able to do this without others attempting to invalidate their religion.
I think that says it all and is 100% correct. I don’t know why people judge other people’s interpretations of a religion. Everyone should be free to interpret/practice their religion in the way they see fit. What’s with this “you are not a Christian” stuff I hear sometimes when some Christians think others aren’t practicing it correctly so therefore “not a Christian”.
And I’m not knocking Christianity. but far too many times I’ve seen arguments that one party has said to the other (even though both are Christians) – “you are not a Christian” only because the other person’s interpretation and practice of the faith is different.
No one should have to explain to anyone why they choose to practice their religion a certain way.
I jumped into this thread late, but that’s my 2 cents – looking at it from the perspective of a Jewish person who is more ethnic/culturally Jewish than religious Jewish – even though I’ve got some very religious family members. No one had dare tell me I’m not a Jew just because I don’t actively practice the religion or go to Synagogue!
No one should judge someone else’s relationship with God. It’s a very personal thing, and everyone should be able to interpret/practice the way they want. How dare someone judge someone else’s relationship with God! Who’s to say who’s interpretation is the better one??? That’s just preposterous!
Although I watch very little television and was not particularly aware of Brit Hume’s personal experiences and religious views, I must admit to being surprised by the way in which he stated his thoughts on Tiger Woods’ personal problems. When I have watched Hume perform in his broadcaster role at Fox, I was struck by his — O.K., I”ll use that stupid, politicized word — “gravitas.” Whether or not you agree with what he says in his broadcast role is irrevelant on that point. However, I think he did make a rhetorical mistake of time and place in his comments on Woods. Better to have suggested that Tiger look to his own religious faith for redemption and comfort as Brit did to his in a moment of emotional stress. Said in that way, I doubt if Brit’s comment would have received the reactions seen here.
Totally agree with you, Wolverine.
