Fox News Demands Tiger Woods Convert to Pentecostalism

[Lemur]

Well, not quite, but close enough to make this lemur's skin crawl. Here's the video.

Where to begin? A news agency should not be demanding that people change religions. That's just messed up. How would the public react if Brit Hume demanded that, say, Woody Allen stop being Jewish? But it's okay to lecture a Buddhist about how Christ is the only real salvation? On a "news" channel?

Secondly, what idiot doesn't know about basic Buddhist theology? I just want to slap Hume across his smug little catamite mouth and say: "See, we go through multiple lives, and eventually we reach enlightenment and nirvana. If you'd like to know more, here's Buddhism for Dummies." Where does he get off declaring that there is no "forgiveness and redemption" in any faith but Christianity?

I was already reconciled to Fox News functioning as a 24/7 political creature. But this new thing, this Christianist, in-your-face 700 Club stuff, this seems to be new. Yikes.

-edit-

Doing a little more Googling, I see that Hume defends himself on another Fox Show, declaring that he's not proselytizing, but "Tiger Woods needs something Christianity—especially—provides and gives and offers." And therefore he needs to ditch his religion and convert. What a maroon.
