Brit Hume, a semi-retired journalist, has generated a great deal of fuss over his remarks urging Tiger Woods to accept the forgiveness and redemption that is offered by the Christian faith.
If Mr. Hume had really cared about Mr. Woods, rather than about generating publicity for himself, he would made his comments directly and privately to Mr. Woods. If he doesn't know Mr. Woods personally, then he should have minded his own business.
Sadly, this seems to be just another example of a professed Christian acting in a grotesquely arrogant manner. Perhaps the world would be a slightly better place if Mr. Hume were to heed the words of Jesus of Nazareth in the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5:5): "Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the Earth."
If his Christian faith is one which, like that of many fundamentalists, relies more on the Old Testament than the Gospels, he may wish to consult Psalm 37:11: "But the meek shall inherit the earth and shall delight themselves in an abundance of peace."
Enough said.

Yes, but if your intent is to help confess the sins of others (which is always more fun than personal sour searching), than Mr. Hume's comments are quite reasonable.
