Anti-Gay Evangelical Leader Resigns After Accusations of Gay Affair
Ted Haggard, one of the most prominent and politically powerful evangelical pastors in the country, resigned today as president of the 30-million-member National Association of Evangelicals “amid allegations that he carried on a three-year sexual relationship with a male prostitute.”
Haggard has called homosexuality a “sin” and “devastating for the children of our nation and for the future of Western civilization.”

Sigh ... This guy makes me sick ...
this hipocricy that fill up the usa is provably a very sad thing for an american but for an italian like me is a very funny thing
The most scary thing is that this guy and New Life Church are in my hometown...brainwashing the eager masses of Colorado Springs...

Oooh, I knew Colorado Springs sounded familiar!
Before all of this, I was actually surprised to realize that so many of the religious right reside in my hometown...-_-
"I believe in the family,
with my ever living wife beside me,
but she don't know about my girlfriend,
or the man I met last night."
--from "Jesus He Knows Me" by Genesis
I think those lyrics accurately describe Ted Haggard.
Wow, I didn't remember that part.
Heh, didn't get a chance to check your page recently, or I'd have posted earlier:

Pretty funny, "Christians" are taking a fall over this and Dubya. They deserve it, IMHO, since most of them would pick a FIGHT with Jesus if they met him in RL. And they were warned by CS Lewis AND the Bible itself NOT to do what they've done recently.
1. CS Lewis, can't find exact quote, but overall he warned against involving one's faith with politics, because politcs almost by definition is a corrupt game and therefore one's faith stands to be corrupted and then fall with the changing of politics.
2. From Revelations, warning of false leaders, false prophets: "By their FRUITS, ye shall Know them."
A DOUBLE meaning with Ted FAGgard, no?
