Yesterday [livejournal.com profile] scoreboard gave me a head's up about Pastor Ted Haggard, president of the National Associations of Evangelicals (NAE), being outed recently after repeatedly visiting the same male prostitute. Apparently said male prostitute kept some rather damning voicemails, oopsie. Seeing him smugly proclaim his innocence in a newsclip run on Countdown last night and reading this today, just makes me giggle:

Asked about evangelicals' reputation for a "my way or the highway" view about their beliefs, Haggard said evangelicals can be strong in their beliefs but yet protect the beliefs of others.

"We feel comfortable in a guaranteed right to heaven," he said.


Admittedly I'm a heathen but even I seem to recall that one of the ten commandments dealt with adultery. Though I will admit that none mentioned poppers and gay prostitutes, so maybe St. Peter is saving him a seat after all...

Hey, he's not coveting a neighbor's wife, so he's gold!

Boy, we'd live in a different world if Evangelicals thought that the right social arrangement was a man, a woman, and some gay sex on the side. Now, that's a religion!
