Tiger Woods

Go back into hiding.

Because what this world really needs is, for another media frenzy about the sordid details of someone's sex life. I have made very clear on this very blog that I believe Tiger is no man. He is a boy that acts like he just got a new toy for Christmas and he is so excited that he cannot control himself. I'm glad he's getting help. But the world has been his playground, and women have been his toys. Now he realizes that he needs the world more than the world needs him, because the world will take every opportunity to throw its champions under the bus if it can.

But I want to point out, just one more time, the hypocrisy in it all. This society has hi-fived promiscuous men. It is an expectation that, if you're a good-looking, successful young person, that you "live it up" and bed as many as you can. But the minute it goes public, you're toasted by that society. The moment it is uncovered that a celebrity man cheated on his cute, white, model wife, society wags the finger at him. The minute the cute little girl next door gets pregnant out of wedlock, she's branded with the scarlet letter.

Now, the celebrity man or the cute little girl next door are no less moral because of society's influence. They have earned the consequences of their actions. But, good grief, find me ONE media member that can rightly cast the first stone at ANYONE'S reputation!!!

My point is that it is not just the media. It is this over-sexualized, ungodly society. Sex is fun, so if its not hurting anybody, what's the problem with it? Live it up, right? If you're not ready to grow up and settle in with someone, what's the harm?

Bullcrap.

Whoever says that better hope the sordid details of their lives don't get spilled into the public. Tiger Woods has made immoral choices, but he is not unique. We all know men and women that have slept with dozens of people and used just about all of those dozens for nothing more than their own selfish, momentary pleasure. This society has championed hedonistic sexuality for years, then turns judgmental when one person is caught not living up to the Judeo-Christian values this country was founded upon.

The safest route... the only alternative... the way of Christ... is to be countercultural. Plain and simple. There is redemption, a clean slate, and a process whereby God will "clean up" your life, awaiting each and every person.

If you are confident enough to stand toe to toe with society, be countercultural.
