To those who would claim Christ, yet bemoan conservatism, Fox News, and Ann Coulter… I have a message for you — repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near! 
For all the whining and bellyaching that leftist “Christians” do about Ann Coulter and Fox News I would love to see them stew in their own juices after Ann’s latest piece. No woman is more hated by the left (including so-called Christians who are left) than Ann Coulter… yet it’s hard to remember when a prominent female political analyst said something so accurate… AND POLITICALLY SCRIPTURALLY accurate at that (yes, it is possible I guess)!
It started with Brit Hume’s initial statement on Fox News about Tiger Woods and his recent sexual troubles:
The extent to which he can recover, it seems to me, depends on his faith. He is said to be a Buddhist. I don’t think that faith offers the kind of forgiveness and redemption that is offered by the Christian faith. So, my message to Tiger would be, ‘Tiger, turn to the Christian faith and you can make a total recovery and be a great example to the world.
Of course, as Ann says, any public mention of Christianity gets the usual liberal media elites into a crazed frenzy. Brit was wrongfully attacked… and Ann’s article not only points out the sheer idiocy of the many liberal responses to Brit, but does it while presenting the gospel (ah yes, presenting the gospel… something else Christo-leftists have a hard time doing)!!!
I agree 1,000 times with her. Feast your logical Christ-following senses on her piece, partially quoted below:
Someone mentioned Christianity on television recently and liberals reacted with their usual howls of rage and blinking incomprehension.
On a Fox News panel discussing Tiger Woods, Brit Hume said, perfectly accurately:
“The extent to which he can recover, it seems to me, depends on his faith. He is said to be a Buddhist. I don’t think that faith offers the kind of forgiveness and redemption that is offered by the Christian faith. So, my message to Tiger would be, ‘Tiger, turn to the Christian faith and you can make a total recovery and be a great example to the world.”
Hume’s words, being 100 percent factually correct, sent liberals into a tizzy of sputtering rage, once again illustrating liberals’ copious ignorance of Christianity. (Also illustrating the words of the Bible: “How is it you do not understand me when I speak? It is because you cannot bear to listen to my words.” John 8:43.)
[...]
On MSNBC, David Shuster invoked the “separation of church and television” (a phrase that also doesn’t appear in the Constitution), bitterly complaining that Hume had brought up Christianity “out-of-the-blue” on “a political talk show.”
Why on earth would Hume mention religion while discussing a public figure who had fallen from grace and was in need of redemption and forgiveness? Boy, talk about coming out of left field!
What religion — what topic — induces this sort of babbling idiocy? (If liberals really want to keep people from hearing about God, they should give Him his own show on MSNBC.)
Most perplexing was columnist Dan Savage’s indignant accusation that Hume was claiming that Christianity “offers the best deal — it gives you the get-out-of-adultery-free card that other religions just can’t.”
In fact, that’s exactly what Christianity does. It’s the best deal in the universe. (I know it seems strange that a self-described atheist and “radical sex advice columnist ——” like Savage would miss the central point of Christianity, but there it is.)
God sent his only son to get the crap beaten out of him, die for our sins and rise from the dead. If you believe that, you’re in. Your sins are washed away from you — sins even worse than adultery! — because of the cross.
“He canceled the record of the charges against us and took it away by nailing it to the cross.” Colossians 2:14.
Surely you remember the cross, liberals — the symbol banned by ACLU lawsuits from public property throughout the land?
Christianity is simultaneously the easiest religion in the world and the hardest religion in the world.
I'm a Christ-follower, compelled by my faith toward reason, which points directly toward conservatism. This world's daily onslaught of lunacy offends my intellect and senses, so this is my venue to blow off steam.
Steve, I agree with what Brit said, but I’m going to play the devil’s advocate here for a second.
1. I think Brit Hume was casting his pearls before swine. In many ways, our culture doesn’t truly believe that an adulterer is in need of God’s forgiveness, unless said adulterer is, in fact, a Christian. The cardinal sin that Tiger committed was being tacky by getting caught. If he had gone public with the stripper before his wife exposed him, he would have been adored by many for “getting his.” One would need to see themselves as something more filthy than “just human” in order to understand the need for a clean slate much less the precious Blood of our Lord. Not so with the liberal media who believe that we are all basically good.
2. It sounds a little like the prosperity doctrine, and I can understand how that might seem ridiculous. If you turn to Christ, yes, you will have forgiveness. In God’s eyes, you will have a clean slate. But in the words of Joel and Ethan Cohen, “The state of Mississippi is a bit more hard-nosed.” Turning to Christ will NOT ensure him any kind of reconciliation with his wife or his fans and sponsors, or any kind of restoration of the life he used to have. The consequences of his actions are not erased.
3. Ouch! I don’t think it’s an unfair accusation of Christians in general that some of us act like we have a get-out-of-adultery-free card. (Though Coulter is right in that Brit Hume was NOT saying that.)
It’s not that we need to hide our faith or fail to speak out. I just think that we as Christians need to be more choosy of the kinds of things we broadcast to the world. If God has given you a platform, then be wise as a serpent and harmless as a dove. Speak prophetically. Study to show yourself approved… Sometimes I think we rely too much on the fact that God CAN speak through an ass.
@Rachael
Yeah, I think I agree with everything you just said.
If I were to hear what Brit or Ann was saying during a debate of Arminianism versus Calvinism, then I would certainly paint their remarks as uber-Calvinist in the cheapest grace colors. BUT, for my part… I think I heard some TV journalists (read “talking heads”) expound on some seriously scriptural material (even if it would have holes during a theological debate).
As for Christians being more choosy… would Pat Robertson’s “deal with the devil” remark about Haiti count?
I don’t agree with you on many points but I like to read your opinions.
What is your thoughts about Thursday the 21st Supreme Court decision about unlimited election funding by corporations?
your thoughts on corporations having as many rights as people and protected under the first amendment?
your thoughts on free trade, outsourcing, NAFTA, ?
what do you think of reinstating tariffs and manufacturing things in America again?
I don’t agree with you on many things as I said, especially gay marriage, abortion to name a few.
I am very concerned about our country as we move into a fascist state.
I mainly want your thoughts on nafta, how us sending all our jobs overseas and not leaving anything here, 30 years of Rageanomics, flooding our nation with immigrants, has affected and contributed to the current over 10% nation wide unemployment,
Interesting what you said about Ann Coulter, what about Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachman?
Debating about facts and issues is the best way, no personal attacks, just sticking to facts and issues, and please post more often, I was disappointed to see you not blog about the Thrusday supreme court decision that was major.
I think Brit Hume was casting his pearls before swine. Cool
I’m confused as to why celebrity gossip was being discussed on a fox news panel. There are more important things going on in the world not already covered by TMZ. However, had they been discussing something related to politics and this had come up, then I’d say that I believe in a complete separation of church and state.
WarAxe,
I saw a posting by you about Schreckengost Longrifles.
I am the ggg grandson of Wm. Schreckengost, the maker of
those rifles. Interested in more information about them. Looking to find one to keep in the family. I live not
far from Putneyville, PA where Wm lived. Any information you have would be appreciated.

Hmm so anyone could go commit murder, turn to Christianity, repent, and the sin is “washed away”? Unbelievable.
It seems like Tiger woods has already came to he’s senses that he needs to apologize about his mistakes and needs to cured on his addiction to sex.
It is something fascinating with the Christian religion though: one of its main principle is to love the others, which in my opinion obviously includes the respect and excludes the cynical critisize. And what most of the Christian are showing (off) most of the time: their intolerance, their superiority (or I should say the inferiority and stupidity of the others)…
Well nice principles of love, respect and tolerance but please apply them!
Look, I consider myself Christian, but when I see Christians trying to convert people of other faiths, it makes me angry. You should never claim your religion to be better than anyone else’s (Especially peaceful ones).
@Manhattan – I think that for example Christians religion are more inteligent than old Greece religion (Zeus and others).

To what has been do not intend to cover the world TMZ website
I love this blog its totally blend my mind
Great post. It does seem the more truthful the person or comment, the more the left seems to swarm – it scares them!
There are some very usefull tips here, I’m not so sure i’ll follow the tip of borrowing my competitors articles though.
I loved reading it. I necessitate to study a lot more on th is topic..Thanks for sharing a very good information.
Any way I am going to subscribe for your feed and I hope you submit once again quickly.
Ann Coulter is always hilarious.
I loved this: “Hume’s words, being 100 percent factually correct, sent liberals into a tizzy of sputtering rage”
The world is indeed having different comprehension about Christianity especially in matters pertaining to the extent of conservatism but in order to not get lost about which one to follow, just look into the life of Jesus and His teachings and surely one can find the right direction.
Brit Hume did what he was supposed to do – engage culture through the Cultural Mandate to spread the good news. “Go ye therefore and teach all nations, baptizing them…teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you”
Being a Christian isn’t easy, God never said it would be a bed of roses. There will be attacks from the devil and that is what happened in this instance. I just pray he’ll stay true and be BOLD in the face of opposition.
Why hasn’t any christian ever ascended?
I do like this discussion and I’d like to add my little contribution. I think that the different religions all over the world are essentially various expressions of the same spiritual needs.
Each religion has a cultural aspect matching the typical traditions of the area it’s been developed. But the main aims of every religion are the same: they try to satisfy human spiritual lonliness and to answer the questions science still cannot.
So, in my opinion, religions should not compete, should not set themselves against the others. They should work together, in order to reach a common target: human spiritual growth.
Yes I do believe that religions should not compete, should not set themselves against the others.
Although I agree with many points you have, I feel uneasy at the “Hume’s words, being 100 percent factually correct…” part. Factually correct based on what? The bible? Yes, from your point of view as being Christian, that is completely true. However, take it from other people’s perspective and I think things will start making more sense to you.
The most important thing of forgiveness is that he has to be able to forgive himself. And then he can start all over again and go on.
Religions are followed by people to find the solutions of their problems in daily life which science is not capable of yet as @Gratuito said. I would love to add, every human being of the world should search for a religion, which will give the solutions for all of their problems. If any religion can give the solutions of their problems, that is the true religion. Please do not get me wrong. I am not biased here.
religion has become an old-fashioned concept, people no long belief as they used to, now the aim is capital accumulation!
I completely agree with @Manhattan: “You should never claim your religion to be better than anyone else’s (Especially peaceful ones).”
Religion is a choice that gives people a direction to how you can peaceful live your life in society.
Well it’s better if we just respect each others belief and not be affected by other.
I wholeheartedly agree. It’s time for people to get off the fence and fix their eyes on Yeshua / Jesus Christ. Conservative reporting is coming into it’s own right as more and more people turn OFF the TV and turn to more reliable sources of news found on the Net. It’s not just the mention of Christianity in the media that gets leftists all riled up, its the undeniable fact that our country’s history and heritage is so deeply rooted in Christianity. But this hasn’t stopped them from trying to alter the words of our country’s Pledge of Allegiance or from trying get the words ‘In God We Trust’ removed from our nation’s currency, or removing the 10 Commandments from our nation’s courtrooms, which is the oldest known codex of laws in existence!
very nice post i totally agree with you that we should @Manhattan we can’t impose our religious thoughts to others
So… Christianity is like the bleach for morals?
if i kill a man, cheat on my wife, drink myself silly, and gamble my paycheck away, all can be remedied by praying/repenting?
i need to try this thing.
I think Brit Hume was casting his pearls before swine
I was a Music College student. We had religion lessons.It all was claimed to be just for an education but our teacher plainly tried to proselytize us. She was(and I believe she is) very impatient to the other religions and other’s points of view
Being a Christian isn’t easy,but all that matters is what we do with our Christianity and all we believe in. as Christians we should lead by examples and not to judge or criticize others for their conducts.
