if he did convert, tiger would fit right in with the other “family value” christians like david vitter, larry craig, john ensign, newt, mccain, the k street gang – all cheated on their wives but have been conveniently “forgiven” by christians simply because they are christians. of course, non-catholics just see these scumbags for what they really are – claiming to be one thing while simultaneously screwing their mistress (or dudes) on the side while sucking money off of gullible bible thumpers.

what I don't understand is how people can be so very dense about the message in Brit Hume's comments. He says he didn't mean to denigrate the Buddist faith. Yet he implied that the Buddist faith did not offer the same ethical and moral standards as Christianity basically. I know that's not how he worded it but come on – what does it mean to you? Talking about how it would “shine through” Tiger if he made a conversion to Christianity. If Tiger were being TRUE to the Buddist ideals and ethics – that would shine through too, and he wouldn't behave the way he has. Buddism does not condone hurting, deceiving, and using other people. Buddism does not condone infidelity. It's not so much people reacting negatively to Christianity although Bill O'Reilly would have the world think so – but the fact that Brit Hume (and Bill O apparently) so grossly underestimate and misunderstand Buddist ethics, to the point that the implication is that Buddism somehow falls short where Christianity does not. One thing Christianity does very well at, and that is bolstering people's sense of self-righteousness and superiority. I thouight Jesus Christ was all about being humble. I don't see that coming across from many who say they are Christians today. I'm just sayin'.
