Ted Haggard, the supreme American pastor has fallen splat to the ground. I know it's insensitive to poke fun at someone else's humiliation but I can't help it.
It's never fun to see power diminish, I've always admired men who, through words and unrivaled delivery was able to dupe a massive group of people into believing an ideal that was never really stable to begin with. They made the unbelievable possible. I won't go as far as saying that what Haggard preaches is total bullshit, I won't be a hypocrite. I WAS a Christian. But as time goes by, concepts that can be proven seemed more appealing. Either that or the truly absurd would be preferable than institutionalized systems of faith, at least the former was more entertaining.
Anyway, going back to Haggard. A man named Mike Jones came out in public and spilled the beans so to speak. He claimed that Haggard, bought meth from him (that's my boy!) and that the pastor also "bought" his services. In other words, Jones is a male prostitute and Haggard is a regular client. Could this be true? Why not? Stranger things have happened.
This of course happened in America, the country that swore to spread democracy and morality to the rest of the world.It's never fun to see power diminish, I've always admired men who, through words and unrivaled delivery was able to dupe a massive group of people into believing an ideal that was never really stable to begin with.

We are fucked.
Check out Richard Dawkin's documentary: The Root of All Evil? Part 1: The God Delusion. Check out your boy Ted Haggard in this. You really have to hear what he has to say before you can form opinions. It's just more fun that way.
