This kind of commentary has no place on a program touted to be "news". I have never been a fan of Brit Hume, but after seeing this it will be very difficult to take seriously anything he says.
It is a matter of continued frustration to me that conservatives continue to shoot themselves in the foot and aid the political standing of the left by taking this seriously.
Brit Hume has a long track record of success and has recently moved to part time. He does not care if someone does not like what he says. He is stating his opinion. That is what they do quite successfully on FoxNews.
The title of your thread does no reflect what hume said. Thus more fox hate. Hume did not say he must become a Christian to be forgiven, he just said the Christian religion is better on forgiving people that Buddhists which he is reported to be. So the title just shows your hate and bias .
when you show such bias in the very title of yoru thread by blatanlty mis quoting what was said, shows much about your intention
What I found odd is that Hume was essentially saying, "My religion is better than your religion." That's really narrow-minded and a dangerous mindset to have.
I thnik most people thnik their religion is the true belief;just as aethist think those people are fools for beleiving. He has perfect right to his belief and those who think he doesn't are the dangerous people IMO.

To Britt Humes,
First of all, Foregiveness and redemption starts at home and anyone person whether be Buddhist, Jewish, Christian, foregiveness starts within. I don't know Jesus but I have read about Jesus. Jesus was a prophet. Now, how in the heck would turning to Christianity equit to being able to forgive yourself? You need to be a Christian to forgiveness? How so?
Britt Hume pretends to be a Christian (Christ-Like), but aren't Christians suppose to accept all people, all religions?
And what is it with Christians that they feel they have to tell people what to do or what to feel? Most Christians are not true Christians. A true Christian leads their life by example, not by what comes out of their mouth.
Americans are becoming wise to the Christian values. I know many of my friends when they became older, they became Christians. I laugh because each of these people were "sinful" and now they preach Jesus. Hey, that is great that each one of them live their life under positive circumstances but Jesus was the answer and not their own decision, that sounds like brainwashed.
I suppose if you are a Christian and are promiscuous, you are forgiven and redeemed by Jesus. And if you are not a Christian, you forgive yourself.
Buddhism is teachings of common sense. You take responsibility of self through your thoughts and thinking, there is no third party.
If being Christian works for you all the power to you. However; with that said, respect those who are not Christian.

Word of advice: when you profess ignorance about a topic (as you did about Jesus) don't go on to demonstrate that ignorance by expounding at length about something you know virtually nothing about.

Well he said that Buddhism doesn't offer the "kind" of forgiveness or redemption that Christianity offers. I wonder what that means.
It doesn't.

I am Christian but I know there are those who use Jesus as a shield and nothing else. I think Hume is sincere but it won't work if the person does not want to change, no matter what faith you turn to.
You're right. It won't work unless there is sincerity.

Yes, an easy choice, and a free choice. It is never forced upon anyone.

I'm getting used to seeing such distortions as the title (and purpose) of the thread.

My thought exactly.
On the subject of Hume, I have great respect for the courage and conviction he showed when he said that, along with the kindness, compassion and gentleness with which he said it.
