Evangelical Ted Haggard Meets Jesus

Ted Haggard and Jesus Jesus, meet evangelical pastor Ted Arthur Haggard:

  • Ted runs a 14,000 member church in Colorado.
  • Ted meets with President Bush each Monday.
  • Ted thinks we need a constitutional ban on gay marriage.
  • Ted compensated a male prostitute for three years, just for massages, he claims.
  • Ted bought methamphetamines, but denies using them.
  • Ted, meet Jesus:

  • For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. Mathew 7:2
  • You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye. Matthew 7:5
  • Woe to you, teachers of the law…you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of dead men’s bones and everything unclean. Mathew 23:27
  • These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. Mark 7:6

      Great list of Haggard hypocrisy! When Haggard was performing one of his fasts, I wonder if Jesus scolded him?

    2. Joe says:

      Thankya, thankyavermuch…it’s a thin line there between pointing out hypocrisy without becoming the very hypocrite you loath. I think we’ve all crossed the line at one time or another, but, dang…Ted REALLY crossed the line didn’t he?

      And yet, at least as you pointed out, he didn’t take too many days to grovel out an apology (Bush, Cheney…take a hint!!!).

      And I fully agree with your casting expertise there…Willem Dafoe is da’ man!
