Brit Hume was right

Kelly Boggs Editor Louisiana Baptist MessageDuring a segment on Fox News Sunday that aired on Jan. 3, Brit Hume suggested that Tiger Woods consider Christianity to help the golfing great recover from his recent personal crisis involving revelations of adultery.

Several left-leaning pundits went absolutely apoplectic over the former anchor’s brief bit of advice. Following is Hume’s response to the Tiger Woods situation:

“Tiger Woods will recover as a golfer. Whether or not he can recover as a person I think is a very open question, and it’s a tragic situation for him. I think he’s lost his family, it’s not clear to me if he’ll be able to have a relationship with his children, but the Tiger Woods that emerges once the news value dies out of this scandal – the extent to which he can recover – seems to me to depend upon his faith. He’s 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. So my message to Tiger would be, ‘Tiger turn to the Christian faith and you make a total recovery and be a great example to the world.’”
