Disgraced pastor Haggard says his faith now strongerQuoteLOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Ted Haggard, the powerful U.S. evangelist who fell from grace in 2006 amid a gay sex scandal, returned to the spotlight Friday saying his faith was stronger but he wished people had been more forgiving.
I wonder, over the years, how many hate crimes, how much bigotry was inspired by this man. I wonder if he even thinks about that. I watched this man, watched him spew hate and intolerance from the pulpit, so what did he expect from the good little sheeple he himself indoctrinated?! I'm not feeling particularly forgiving or charitable, so all I can say to this is that the man damn-well deserved what he got.
Nevertheless, it does seem that pastor Ted has had rather an epipheny of late, as illustrated by these little gems of wisdom:
Quote"For 30 years, I thought that you could take care of any problem with prayer. Now, a good therapist has helped me understand how the brain works."
And
Quote"I now know more about hatred and judgment than ever before, and I know it doesn't help."
Hell of a thing, to have the shoe on the other foot huh Ted?
Mina.
