From today's newspaper:
"One of the nation's most influential conservative Christian leaders, the Rev. Ted Haggard, resigned yesterday as president of the National Association of Evangelicals and temporarily stepped aside as pastor of a Colorado mega-church after a self-described male escort accused him of paying for gay sex.
Haggard, an outspoken opponent of same-sex marriage, vigorously denied the allegation. "Never had a gay relationship with anybody, and I'm steady with my wife. I'm faithful to my wife," he told a Colorado television station.

As an atheist Libertarian, I've been wary of them for a long, long time.
That has far more to do with the Libertarian part, I must admit.

You are a Evangelical, fundamentalist Republican that voted for G. Bush twice, so like Haggard are you asking us who did not vote for G. Bush to forgive you.
Well maybe he is the scapegoat to pass gay marriage or he's likes being freaky when he's high, look people just keep giving your money , time, heart and soul to a lost cause, this person is just like any morale male of christian faith, like I said they got the catholics and now they are coming for the rest of them, the gays will pass there agenda and with the christian faith, after while they will have gay churches, to me you people need to wake up to whats happening, how about the senator, the gays will have there way with the Christians, because the ministers or corrupt and people don't want to loose there value but the gays will force you into believing or they will continue to bash you churches, you Christians will cave in

Do you have a factor right here? Evangelicals and the Fundamentalists share the comparable worry-loose values and widespread suggestions of the Republican occasion. "for this reason the Republican occasion is the Evangelical and Fundamentalist occasion", so what?

I'm an evangelical, pro-life Democrat who can't stand either party. And I think Christians need to stop gawking over Ted Haggard's demise and shut up and pray for him. Check out the blog entry I just posted about him.

Once again, the truth has come out. Remember Rev. Jim Bakker and Rev. Jimmy Swaggart, and their lies and scandals? There is more of this going on than we know.
It's about time that the finger-pointing, self-righteous hypocrites who preach intolerance and bigotry are exposed. They love to talk about the trouble with priests in the Catholic church, while they pretend to be so holy and "Godly". This looks good on Haggard. At least the truth is now "out".

Well, you could always move to the Middle East - fundamentalists THERE are serious about their fundamentalism, you can be sure of that!
Plus, they don't have any pesky 'Constitution' or 'democracy' nonsense getting in the way. True theocracy all the way, baby!

I agree. But he shouldn't be an opponent of gay marriage, as an evangelical, in the first place. But the enemy will try to discourage us. But we all need to vote in the upcoming elections.

I've been wary of politicians and evangelists my whole life.
My Lord Jesus and my Father Yahweh are where I put my trust.
I got neg checks for this answer?????
What I say???
I find it amusing that this guy is "influential", and I've never even heard of him.
Until now anyway...

once again Christians have never failed to amuse me.
Show me a christian and i will show you a hypocrite.
Lesson here: When you are doing something, don't preach against it.
