When religious people need to stop acting childish

Everybody probably is aware of the whole Ted Haggard debacle by now. If not, basically what it comes down to is that the essential head of American Evangelical Christians, a man who has vehemently lambasted homosexuals and same-sex unions is most likely himself gay. Not only is he gay but since he's an evangelical he uses male prostitutes to keep it a secret. O, and did I mention that the fella uses meth? Now there's lots of people out there (the pastor himself included) who are throwing up a shitfit about these allegations as untrue but coming from Oklahoma, which happens to be the land of fake religion and twisted televangalists, I've seen enough bullshitters disguised as holy men to see that this guy is probably a liar. All in all being gay really isn't a big deal. Actually it's not a "deal" at all. However, for somebody who does nothing but equate gays with satan's pawns and destroyers of our nations it's pretty freakin telling of what type of person he is. Thanks for making the rest of us theists and Christians look like a group of charlatans and liars you hateful bastard.

All the ranting aside, that's not really what this post is about. The post is about evangelical reactions to this whole mess. Now first off there is some pretty solid evidence behind these allegations. Pretty solid, as in, completely solid. The pastor himself came out saying he went to the male escort who made the allegations for a "massage" and he even admits to buying METH from him. Well a pastor admits to buy meth from a make hooker but then turns around and says he threw it away without using it. Are you kidding me? Are you serious?

He added, "I have never done drugs, ever -- not even in high school."

Anybody who buys meth uses meth. It's not a drug people pussyfoot around. You don't just start off at meth for your first swim in the drug ocean. O, and people usually go to prostitues for one specific reason...

In the end though the evangelical aptitude for denial wins out however.

"It's political, right before the elections,"

"People are always saying stuff about Pastor Ted," she told the AP. "You just sort of blow it off."

"Ted Haggard is a friend of mine, and it appears someone is trying to damage his reputation as a way of influencing the outcome of Tuesday's election,"

Yup, just blow it off. This is clearly a ploy by dem durn librals trying to alter the election and not simply the admissions of a gay man sick of seeing the blatent hyposcrisy of another gay man who stood at the pulpit each Sundy and not only pretended to be what he wasn't but spewed hatred against it. Go ahead and shrug it off, because you know, those faggots can't tell the truth...

Hey evangelicals, it'd be nice if you stopped making the rest of us believers look like idiots.
