Brit Hume is still very concerned about Tiger Woods refusal to convert to Christianity.
Would he be so concerned if Woods was not of dusky hue?
Would he be so concerned if we didn’t currently have a president who is of dusky hue and rumored to be a sekrit Muslim and a terrorist sympathizer?
It sure must be great to be a Christian like Hume — adherents of a theology of instant forgiveness where being Christian means never having to say you’re sorry.
Jerry Leachman, “connected to McLean Bible Church in Virginia, a conservative evangelical body committed to biblical inerrancy,” leads the home bible study for Hume and his fellow travelers. Lon Solomon, senior pastor at McLean Bible Church, is chairman of the board of directors executive committee for Jews for Jesus.
Don’t worry that Hume can’t enjoy all those things forbidden by the bible. The Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy is the fingers-crossed-behind-the-back that permits Christians to point to the bible to deny women control of their bodies, advocate murder of homosexuals and Muslims, both foreign and domestic, and to condemn membership in labor unions while enjoying oysters, clams, lobsters and a nice pork roast with a second, third or fourth wife.
How do we know that adherence to Christianity is the answer? Brit Hume’s prosperity and financial losses suffered by Tiger Woods’ sponsors.
