We’ve addressed the controversy over Brit Hume’s suggestion to Tiger Woods that he go find Jesus to seek forgiveness for his alleged philandering. And we’ve covered the Buddhist backlash. Christianity Today’s Sarah Pulliam Bailey scored a get and got Hume to expand on what he meant.

The quotable quotes:

“Instead of urging that Tiger Woods turn to Christianity, if I had said what he needed to do was to strengthen his Buddhist commitment or turn to Hinduism, I don’t think anybody would have said a word. It’s Christ and Christianity that get people stirred up.”


“I don’t want to be a closet Christian. I’m not going to stand on the street with a megaphone. My principal responsibility at Fox News isn’t to proselytize. But occasionally a mention of faith seems to me to be appropriate. When those occasions come, I’ll do it.”

“Christianity is a way for people who are not perfect to be saved. What [South Carolina Gov.] Mark Sanford needs is not less Christianity. He needs more of it.”
