Brit Hume turned evangelist on Fox New Sunday, in a segment with panelists predicting the future for Tiger Woods after Woods’ notable “transgressions” (now a 2009 top euphemism, along with “Appalachian Trail,” as a signifier for “mistress.”)
Hume forecasts Woods will recover as a golfer but
…Whether he can recover as a person depends on “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 can make a total recovery and be a great example to the world…”
Har!
Just substitute the word “faith” with “credulity” in these quotes. Remember GWB’s credulity-based initiatives? An even funnier word than “faith” these days is the plural: faiths. Substitute the neologism “credulities” for that one & delicious absurdities abound.
The nice thing about Christianity is that it doesn’t actually require you to be good. You just have to be sincerely apologetic each and every time you do something nasty. As long as you’re “saved”, you’re in.
Very convenient religion for rich and powerful people.
