Recently Ted Haggard was forced to resign from his position in an Evangelical Church, after several noted public gay bashing remarks, it was discovered he was having a homosexual relationship of his own. How can a "religious person" persecute and spread messages of hate, and say it with a straight face, and then still claim to be a messenger of God? I thought the most important lessons from God was to love thy neighbor...Judge not...and that God loves all his children. What happened to that all loving God? I'll admit I am not a very religious person, but, is this not fundamentalism? Interpreting the "word" to suit one's own agenda? Then why an agenda of homophobic hate? Why not spread acceptance, diversity, understanding and a positive atmosphere instead?
