Iz just kidding bout teh butt secks! lulz!
So Ted Haggard—former president of the National Association of Evangelicals and pastor of a right-wing megachurch in Colorado Springs, Colorado—had a long-standing affair with a gay prostitute and smoked crystal meth. This was back in 2006. He resigned from his leadership positions and publicly apologized for his “sinful behavior.”
Now, Haggard is working on building up a new church which is, yet again, in Colorado Springs, CO. “In a July 2010 interview he gave to CNN, Haggard claims that his feelings of sexual attraction to other men have miraculously disappeared. Haggard now portrays his encounter with the prostitute as a massage that went awry (wikipedia).” That was one long-term massage, Mr. Haggard!
After changing his story, now Haggard claims he “over-apologized”:
It seems to me that Haggard may be back-peddling to make his sin sound less awful than he previously admitted it really was. Perhaps he’s trying to justify his right to preach morality and righteousness. Perhaps he’s downgrading from “horrible sin” to “street cred”. Check out this article on his return to the pulpit where he explains how his public sin has become a great thing for his church.
Oh, what a guy.
Just in case parties in your nether regions would make or break your devotion to a certain deity and its associated religion, this chart may come in handy!

So, we’re not very shocked by this, right? Religious leaders want to control procreation in every way possible in favor of the glorification and expansion of their own systems. This is how they thrive, sadly. Buddhism, not to my surprise, is the most lenient of the major world religions pictured. I’d like to have seen Hinduism pictured, as well as a column for non-religious/secular people. That column would probably say “Personal and Social responsibility FTW!”
