In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful...the Best Knower.
After watching Tiger Woods announcement, today, regarding the recent infidelity and the backlash that it caused, I have to say that my heart goes out to him...as well as to his wife and their families.
I agree that he should not have committed adultery. I agree that he should have apologized and begun the process of atonement with those most directly affected by his violation of trust.
However, I am saddened to see so many people crying out, "Crucify him!", as if they are qualified to judge and condemn him; as if they are sinless; as if none of them has any "secret" that, if known, would probably make Tiger Woods' sin appear minimal by comparison.
How are people who openly rebel against God, daily, qualified to stand in judgement of another "sinner"? Or, do they need someone to look down on so they can feel better about their own sin-sick lives?
The whole society has become perverse, with a very few exceptions. The same people who are condemning Tiger Woods for his "sexual indiscretions" will uplift and glorify movies, songs and other "entertainment" that encourages illicit sexual relations. They promote "Desparate Housewives", and urge the public to WATCH it, have their minds baptized in it. Why? To provoke the righteous indignation of the public? Or, to "desensitize" the public to the boundaries of morality and civilization?
These same "pious" judges of Tiger Woods, who are so outraged at the betrayal of a trust between himself and his wife, enthusiastically support the state sanctioned murder of innocent people in foreign nations in the name of "democracy", even when the justification for such murders has been exposed as a LIE!
These people have no morality beyond their own perversions, and that which they deem necessary to preserve their perversions.
Well has the Bible prophesied that this society "has become a habitation of devils, and a hold for every foul spirit, and a cage for every unclean and hateful bird."
Or, as it reads in Romans 1:
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
I pray that Tiger will seek and gain the Forgiveness of God, of his family, and of those most directly affected by his actions.
I pray that God will Help him to Atone, and give him the strength to endure the Journey back to Peace and Happiness; and I pray that those who do not want to forgive, but only want to punish...will be given to eat that which they desire for their victim(s).
May God Bless Tiger, His Wife, their Children and their Families, with His Guidance, Healing and Protection.
