Brit Hume is continuing his media tour in defense of his remark that Tiger Woods should convert to Christianity if he wants to be redeemed. This time, he claims that the media uproar that followed his comments is just “anti-Christian bigotry.”
Hume said on Fox News that Woods, who is “said to be a Buddhist,” should turn to Christianity because “I don’t think that faith offers the kind of forgiveness and redemption that is offered by the Christian faith.”
According to CNSNews.com, when asked if he was surprised by the “media uproar” that resulted from his comments, Hume said “”No, I’m not surprised,” and that “sure,” he’d do it again.
Hume also said that “the most controversial two words you can ever utter in a public space are ‘Jesus Christ.'”
He continued: “I’m somewhat at a loss to explain it because so many of the people who purport to be aghast at such mentions are themselves at least nominally Christian. But there it is.”
There is certainly a level of anti-Christian bigotry that may have something to do with the fact that on certain issues, the views of Christians are against theirs on certain matters such as abortion and others, but I can’t account for all of it. It is a striking reality, however.
