I would say that the damage would only be isolated to his megachurch, because with those crazy kooks they are brainwashed by someone that gives them empty promises, classic fleecing of the flock. I would say Baptist and evangelicals are the worse thing to happen to the rest of the Christian denominations,

If our cause was to build headcount he was a pretty big hit. But that is not our cause. In fact losing the luke-warm members strengthens a church.
I think his public disgrace did good. Wherever there is money there will be charlatans and crooks. This puts the church boards on notice to look for the tel tale signs and weed out the next disgrace (and there will be one) earlier.

You are indeed hilarious. The irony! All that anti-homosexual rhetoric and come to find out the head of the evangelical church is a drugged up homo getting it in. I'm just waiting for more closeted bigots to come out.

None.
I am not your role model. I don't want to be and I never will be. I don't want you to look up to me and I am not going to set some glorious example for you. Get over it.
Shame Ted Haggard didn't live up to your expectations, I guess that means he goes to whatever hell you have in mind.
To make it simple, what do you think of people who set standards for other people to live by?
What do you think of the standards you set for Ted Haggard? Why should he try to live up to them? Why would anyone?
Why would anyone care?
It is okay for you to set standards of not forcing people to live up to standards and then not live up to those standards by attacking other people who did not live up to their own standards.
Yeah, I get that.

Any damage that Haggard did is now forgotten -- thanks to his three-week miraculous cure. Yep, the Right Reverend has gone from "Ah, men" to "Amen".

I'm glad that people are finally seeing these hypocrites.

do you think anyone had had the power to "let him go on"? He is an individual with problems. We all have problems.
