Reasonable and normal

Does ABC really mean All Bull Crap? They report, you decide.

It's hard to go for a day without some story of some professionally pious man being caught molesting children or engaging in some unsavory acts with barnyard animals, yet despite sociopathic frauds like Ted Haggard having been humiliated in front of the country with his Gay prostitution and drug bust, he's out there bragging about evangelicals getting more nookie than other, less sexy cults do.

We may have thought we had seen the last of him, but like a bad case of herpes or a clogged septic tank, Ted is back again. Ted Haggard, the former president of the National Association of Evangelicals is part of a documentary called Friends of God with the Speaker of the House's daughter Andrea Pelosi, that the New York Times describes as "a road trip into the world of evangelical Christians that includes a drive-through church, a Christian wrestling federation, a stand-up Christian comic, an evangelical Elvis' and more.

Pelosi as quoted by ABC, says "It was interesting for me to say, these are good people. He was a reasonable, normal everyday man. So, it was hard to stomach what had happened."

Yes, I too wonder why there is such a fuss made about the earthshaking hypocrisy that seems to characterize this egotistical, hedonistic gay bashing homosexual with delusions of grandeur who takes the poor, the stupid, the frightened and the ignorant for huge sums of money.

Haggard is already an object of intense disgust for me, with his brand of ignorant, narcissistic, idolatrous and paranoid shamanism, but I'd rather watch one of those National Geographic films about the mating habits of hyenas than be forced to imagine what debauchery Haggard performs in sordid motel rooms while little old ladies pump a fortune into his bank accounts. Pelosi however is beyond my understanding; insisting that the experience made her want to get her two month old involved in Church as soon as possible and thinks we should accommodate this group of thieves, perverts, blasphemers and liars because of their political power.

What a great country we might have if these subhumans had all elected to start Evangelical villages in Guyana where they could dance naked around campfires pounding on Bibles, having lizard sex with each other and left the rest of us the hell alone.

And, make sure they don't forget to take the cool-aid along.

Does that mean I won't be seeing you at next week's bible study class?

Actually Reverend Jones' special drink was Flavor Aid - made by an entirely different company. I just hate to see Kool Aid take a bum rap.

Having seen my library, you shouldn't be surprised to note that I read a lot of theology - a bit different than what the Falwell followers call Bible Study, but still. . .
