Ann Coulter, removing all doubt

From StAugustine.com:
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.
100 percent factually correct? How can an opinion be factually correct? Hume himself even qualified his own statements saying, "it seems to me" and "I don't think." He was clearly stating his opinion.

But Coulter doesn't stop there. She wants to remove all (100 percent) of the doubt:
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.
And that is quite obvious based on the behavior of Christians. They can do the most god-awful (pun intended) things, and not worry about the consequences. If Tiger was a Christian instead of a Buddhist, it would not change the fact that he cheated on his wife. It doesn't make him any better of a person. And it certainly doesn't add one iota of redemption. But somehow it would make his actions more acceptable to the Religious Right, so maybe it is the best deal.
