There’s a big debate going on in the States where a TV anchorman, who was part of a TV discussion panel, is being pilloried for saying Tiger Woods should consider the Christian faith instead of his mothers Buddhist faith to help him through his current problems. This is what Brit Hume said:
"I don't think that faith [Buddhism] offers the kind of forgiveness and redemption that is offered by the Christian faith. So 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.'"
Seems a pretty gentle remark to me, and not one to draw out all the invectives of the US press, with some newspapers suggesting he has been ‘rude and crass’ and has ‘denigrated Christianity’. Denigrated Christianity?! For saying that?!
The ignorance of the current British government in trying to force through legislation that would force churches to hire open homosexuals in spite of the stance taken in the Bible shows how far we have moved away from a Christian society to one where we can’t even open our mouth and recommend to someone that they investigate the Christian faith.
This month sees the start of many Alpha Courses in churches up and down the UK- a great chance to go along and find out the real truth.
