The Right Rev. Brit Hume points the way to Tiger’s redemption
Kinda makes you wonder why God allowed that darned Buddhist to win so many golf tournaments over good Christian men. Then again, He also allowed a Muslim to be elected president of HIS country, the United States of Christian America.
But seriously, I do not understand and can’t begin to comprehend the arrogance it takes to publicly anoint yourself someone’s spiritual adviser, and to then lecture them about their faith and its alleged inadequacies. This was a prepared, considered remark by Hume, not some off-the-cuff aside.
A person’s faith is a private matter between that person and God, and is not a matter to be judged by some pompous TV anchor.

Most liberals think Jesus never said anything controversial or offensive, until you point out things He actually said. Then they love to revert to another favorite argument: “We can’t really trust what the Bible says anyway.”

OK, I got a puke bucket ready (fortunately didn’t need it) and watched the Hume clip.
When it comes to the conned and their foot in mouth disease you just gotta stand in awe of them. NOBODY in the history of the republic can say more idiotic things with a straight face than a die(d) hard BushCo Republicon.
Bless his pea picking heart, Brit the Twit seemingly TRIES not to be a hateful Christian and an agent of intolerance (hat tip John McCain). But like his deranged colleagues and followers, they just seem to always fail.
No wonder Gandhi found these types so repulsive.
I’m not sure what was more hysterical;, Hume doing his Mannly Coulter imitation, Billy Chickenhawk Krystol laughing nervously or the others sitting there saying nothing.
I can only imagine what they were thinking , as in “WTF is it with this guy?”
But it’s all good – these fundies and evanjellyheads are doing more to drive people away from their mythology than any supposed enemy ever could…

So. Muslim meets Christian on the field of battle. In the end, there can be but one. It sounds vaguely familiar, this theme. Like a series of movies. No, not Friday the 13th. Not Jason. Something more epic. Something where one gains the power of the defeated. The sort of thing that would surely give one a rush. Ewww. Not that kind of Rush. A high. No, forget about Rush. And not Sarah and her Samurai adventures either. Hmmmm.

So Mr. Hume can suggest one religion offers a hope of redemption that another doesn’t. And suggests a conversion. And no one wants to cut his head off or stone him to death Hang him in effigy, malign him, insult him, mock him – yes. But not kill him.
Who says one religion isn’t morally superior to another?

As the apparatus of government grows, and its control over the lives of citizens increases, the situations in which meanings are imposed become of necessity far more numerous, and conflicts between the visions imposed by the state and the visions imposed by the religions become more frequent. A pervasive, totalitarian state will of course find these conflicts threatening, which is why religious liberty is among the first freedoms to go when statist dictators take firm hold.
In short: Statism demands absolute loyalty from individuals. Religion thus threatens the statist, and statism will seek to destroy or supplant religion.
Religious people ought to oppose, not support big government.
All others, get a clue. Statism will destroy you.

The first time I watched the clip here I missed that it starts with a prediction that he’ll recover as a golfer before it went into the salvation part, but after watching the broadcast I went back to the video and was surprised to hear the comment was recorded in it’s entirety. It still doesn’t sound like there was anything wrong with what Hume said and certainly nothing to fly off the handle over. I guess this is the liberal version of poutrage.

Kinda reminds me of an Ann Landers letter a while back. Woman said her boyfriend was raised to respect ladies, he’d held a door open for a woman who launched on him. You know the outrage – sexist, not handicapped, etc. Woman wanted to know what he should have said. Ann said ‘nothing’ (I thought he should have said “sorry, my mom taught me to respect ladies… obviously, I misidentified you)

Well, this Hume is dead right. If Tiger had of been a good Christian he could get on TV and cry and say “I have sinned, Oh Lord” and everybody would forgive him and he would be back in good graces with his sponsors and he could go right back out and have him ten or twelve more women and keep it secret and every once in awhile he could get on TV after he won a tournament and give credit to the Lord and everything would be fine.
But no, he’s got to go it all by hisself. That’s why he’s in so much trouble. He ain’t learnt nothing. He needs to look at us rednecks here in GA and how we do things. If we have us a few women on the side at least we can talk about how bad Gay Marriage is and how it’s a sin against God and how we’re not going to stand for it and we’re good Christians and this is a Christian country.

Commander softens punishment for pregnancy
Cucolo’s order angered the National Organization of Women and a group of female Democratic senators who called the order “deeply misguided” in a letter to Army Secretary John McHugh and demanded it be rescinded.
They said they feared the policy could deter female soldiers from seeking timely medical care, “with potentially serious consequences for mother and child” and that “the threat of criminal sanctions … goes far beyond what is needed to maintain good order and discipline.”
If women wanna be equal, they should avoid getting pregnant while deployed.

I am reminded of stories from the Eastern front during WWII…as you know, Russian women served as front line combat soliders and birth control was not as available then as now. Women who became pregnant and who chose to carry to term fought on, delivering often in battle and many are the reports of them cutting the cord, papoosing the newborn to the breast and continuing on. At the next field hospital she would hand the baby over with the proper identification and the baby would be sent back behind the lines to be taken care of in special centers until the mother could come and collect or the infant could be united with family members. These battle zone babies, especially the orphaned ones, had a special status in the post war Soviet society, their mothers, no…they were “just soldiers defending the Motherland…”

In 2009, 10 states raised income or sales taxes, and another 15 introduced new fees on everything from beer to cellphone ringers to hunting and fishing. The states pocketed the federal money and raised taxes anyway.-WallStreetJournal

You could make a good Christian if you believe. We Christian’s are far from perfect, so perfection isn’t what God expects or none of us could make it. As for forgiveness, that is more for the one who has been wronged and not for the one who has committed the wrong. If you forgive it means you no longer have to dwell on the wrong that was done to you any more. If you don’t forgive it means you have to continue to live with the wrong that’s been done. Think about it.

Mr. Hume obviously does not understand very much about Buddhism. All schools of Buddhist thought teach that all living beings have the potential to realize “enlightenment,” that is to realize the freedom from the suffering of the repeated cycle of birth, death, and rebirth and realize the unconditioned reality of Nirvana that is unborn and indestructible. Buddhism does not believe that any person or living creature is condemned to suffer in an “eternal” hell. Rather Buddhism teaches that there is no “eternal” hell (or even an “eternal” heaven for that matter) and that no matter how evil a person or spiritual entity is, they can never lose their potential for enlightenment- they can never lose their potential to redeem themselves. This to me this is a kind of redemption and forgiveness that goes far beyond what Christianity teaches. I doubt there are many Christians who believe that Satan could ever redeem himself. Anyway, as a Buddhist that is involved in the translation of Ancient Buddhist Chinese texts into English, Mr. Hume’s gross misrepresentation just demonstrates his utter lack of knowledge of Buddhist teachings. I would hope that once Mr. Hume realizes that he has seriously misunderstood Buddhism, he will have enough courage and Christian humility to publicly apologize. We Buddhists will surely forgive him- we all make mistakes.

Spencer and Sheldon recorded the coldest temperatures in the state with minus-33 degrees. Estherville came in at 28 below zero, Fort Dodge at negative 26. Sioux City and Orange City both reported minus-22 degrees. At least 16 more cities across the state reported lows in the negative double digits.
“We’re a solid 30 degrees below normal,” said Jeff Johnson, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service. Thermometers across Iowa dipped into the negative double digits. And this intense cold probably isn’t going anywhere until next weekend.-DesMoinesRegister

For alpaca farmer Ignacio Beneto Huamani and his young family, life in the Peruvian Andes, at almost 4,700m above sea level, has always been a struggle against the elements.
The few hundred people who live here are hardened to poverty and months of sub-zero temperatures during the long winter. But, for the fourth year running, the cold came early. First their animals and now their children are dying and in such escalating numbers that many fear that life in the village may be rapidly approaching an end.
Imagine that, people dying off because of cold weather, even when the world is “warming.”

Everything is seemingly spinning out of control, hahahaha, for real-
Obama’s plan to close the Guantanamo Bay camp, already set to miss a one-year deadline, looks in deep peril: nearly half of the remaining 198 detainees are from Yemen, where the Christmas Day attack was planned.
Yemen, with its building Al-Qaeda presence is a widening front for US forces in the global anti-terror struggle, along with Pakistan and Afghanistan.
Iran, beset by its own political turmoil, is meanwhile escalating the showdown over its nuclear program, with Washington seeking tougher sanctions.
Tehran last year spurned Obama’s engagement push — leading the president’s foes to brand him as naive.
Recent deaths of seven CIA employees in Afghanistan meanwhile underscored the political risks and deep human cost of the president’s 30,000 strong troop surge into Afghanistan.-Breitbart
Happy New Year!

Faux News Guest: Strip Search All 18-28 Year Old Muslim Men At Airports
What is it with these creeps and their deviant sexual behavior? They seem to be turning it into a national past time. I guess because child porn is illegal.

Del–
Before I go any further here, let me say that I respect your dignity around here. It is much appreciated.
As you may know, I am more or less a practicing Jew. We’re supposed to forgive but it’s not a requirement per se. That’s what Yom Kippur is all about and the reason that I do take it seriously. For sins against fellow man, you must get his forgiveness. For sins against G-d, you ask for H-s forgiveness. If fellow man doesn’t forgive you, it’s entered into the book. Same with G-d. My problem with Christianity is that G-d forgives you for sins against fellow man. You don’t have to take the personal responsibility toward those you have wronged. To me, and this is only my own belief and I don’t expect anyone else to subscribe, that makes it too easy. Sometimes I can forgive, sometimes I can’t…

“You don’t have to take the personal responsibility…”
This is preached by the liberal faith all the time, You trying to confuse us.
