Religion's Recklessness Really Ruins Reality

"Brit Hume’s comments on Fox News Sunday — 'I don’t think that [Buddhism] offers the kind of forgiveness and redemption that is offered by the Christian faith,' and, 'My message to Tiger [Woods] would be: Tiger, turn to the Christian faith, and you can make a total recovery and be a great example to the world' — have unleashed a torrent of criticism from the Left, including the various circus acts over at MSNBC and the Washington Post’s Tom Shales.

Shales’s criticisms in particular are manifestations of a mind that is enraged and slightly unhinged; they are ad hominem and, in some respects, unserious.

One cannot help but think that if Hume had recommended that Woods embrace Transcendental Meditation, the philosophy of Deepak Chopra, or the New Age movement, instead of Christianity, Shales would not have been so offended."


-- Peter Wehner, further confirming, for me, that this is now a NewAge nation, and the already-discredited media - through it's acceptance of these already-discredited modern day beliefs and the already-discredited spiritual con men behind them - has now also become the already-discredited enemy within, while writing for The National Review.
