I've been waiting for a few days for my fellow conservative bloggers to man up. It hasn't happened. I'm really not the most qualified for this fight but as the saying goes, "if it is to be, it must be me". I like Brit Hume and his work. He is smart, thoughtful and on balance a fair and respected journalist. I am a Christian and while at times I'll admit I've struggled with it in part or whole this is what I believe.
Brit Hume was wrong in his approach on Sunday in taking Christianity to Tiger on national TV. Okay? Dan Savage and Keith Olbermann are you happy?
Not because he isn't right. Of course, he is right but wrong place. wrong time. wrong reason. Clearly, Christianity offers grace and redemption that has been life saving for anyone who honestly accepts it. Sadly, I think he in part was giving the Fox base the red meat they like (I've seen the emails from the church community to prove it) and even if for a second we could assume his intentions were completely pure I'm one Christian (a bad one for sure) who will say the time and place was wrong. Plus, while calling out Buddism won't cause a holy war it only creates further distraction.
Why? Simple. The chance of effectiveness is as slim as Elmer Fudd finding the letter R. Is anyone expecting Tiger to finally show up from hiding to say he saw Brit's comments and has accepted the grace and forgiveness that only a relationship with Jesus Christ offers? Yea, right. You don't tell someone.......you show them. Show more. Tell less. More hands and feet and less mouth.
That is why he was wrong.
Bonus: Several (more) people know what the word proselytize means.
If you'd like to watch it.
