His speech is infuriating because a) he assumes Jesus is the only path to forgiveness and redemption as a matter of fact, b) belittles Buddhism as somehow inferior religion without knowing anything about its teachings on the matter of forgiveness and redemptions, and c) Hume claims he isn't proselytizing.

From philosophical prospective Buddhism speaks elegantly on the subject of forgiveness and redemption.


You know, if Gov. Mark Sanford was Buddhist he would find forgiveness and redemption with less strings attached.

Well I didn't really see it the same way.

a) Yeah that's what religions do. They don't allow for other religions. Anyone who is a Christian tacitly believes the same way as Brit. Anyone who is Buddhist believes similarly in the singularity of their ideas. If we all got worked up over what religions think of other religions the world would be in trouble. Oh wait everyone already does.

b) I think he was somewhat dismissive of Buddhism but "belittles"? Really? He made one minor observation (apparently out of ignorance and turn) but it wasn't belittling. That's over-analyzing it.

c) Yeah that is a crock I agree.

But in the end aren't you and a bunch of others getting worked up over something that is really not important and not nearly anything close to a big deal? In fact the furor over this is the only thing making it a deal at all. Otherwise it was just another blowhard (which Brit doesn't usually seem to be) saying stuff.

Saden worked up over Fox?? Nooooo...

I wish everyone would just leave this alone. The man obviously has massive issues, and he's dealing with them. He's lost his family, his credibility, countless millions, and his career has taken a massive hit. He's paying for what he's done. Don't get me wrong, I don't feel sorry for him, but now the pathetic media/papparazzi will be all over that little town hoping to get a measly picture of a sick guy trying to get well. It's so effing pathetic.
