Loved this little piece on Fox news yesterday, according to "senior political analyst" Brit Hume in order to be properly forgiven for an inability to keep things in his pants Tiger Woods the world famous golfer needs to convert to Christianity and forsake all of this Buddhist crap that he believes in, I bet he's really grateful for that little gem of advice.
You've got to hand it to these Christians though, it's more about the "forgiving" part than the "sinning in the first place" part, clearly an ideal religion for the morally weak among us.

Let he/she who is without sin cast the first 7 iron, I say.
Archdruid, quite!, gags about rounds of 18 holes seem too easy... :)

Do you mean these Christians in particular, or Christians in general?
C'mon Steve. 'To err is human, to forgive divine'

Hi Carol, I agree that there's nothing wrong with people forgiving people no need for any divinity there. But, deities forgiving people is an entirely different kettle of three irons, so in the context of this particular story I mean Christians in general.
I suppose I find the whole idea that people can "scapegoat" their sins by following a few rituals or by saying some "magic words" a morally weak one (or potentially so).
