Exposing a hypocrite...

As I am sure a lot of you know, the now ex president of the National Association of Evangelicals, Rev Ted Haggard, was exposed by a prostitute to be a hypocritical gay drug user. After denying the allegations at first, he has now confessed to both the drug use and "sexual immorality". He has resigned as president of the NAofE and has now been fired from the church that he founded.

"Wow"

This is a man that has preached for years about the agenda of the homosexual and about how immoral homosexual behavior is. He has lobbied against (and adamantly pushed for a federal ban on) same sex marriage.

The reason why I am writing this blog is because I don't understand why people have to live a life of duality to the point that they have to not only hide their true feelings but they have to be a hypocrite. I understand there are people that have many issues with their sexuality and are constantly struggling with their sexuality and their spiritual beliefs, but...

HOW DARE YOU STAND BEHIND THAT PULPIT AND CONDEMN ME FOR DOING SOMETHING THAT YOU DO!!!!

HOW DARE YOU LOBBY FOR A BAN ON SAME SEX MARRIAGE WHEN YOU ARE CHEATING ON YOUR WIFE WITH A MALE PROSTITUTE WHILE DOING CRYSTAL METH!!!!!!

HOW DARE YOU CALL ME A SECOND HAND CITIZEN WHEN YOU ARE DOING SOMETHING FAR WORSE THAN I EVER THOUGHT ABOUT DOING!!!!!
YOU HAVE SPIT ON THE VOWS THAT YOU SAID IN FRONT OF YOUR WIFE AND FRIENDS AND FAMILY AND GOD!!!!!

Today my preacher said that he had to question why this prostitute came forward with this story. He said that we had to balance all of the evidence of this situation and have grace and forgiveness in our hearts. I am here to tell you that it is very hard for me to try to do this.

I am actually upset with my preacher for defending this guy that has admitted to drug use and gay acts while all the while preaching about gay immorality from behind the pulpit. I will pray for grace and comfort for this man's family and I will pray that he finds peace with his life and God and that one day he will realize the pain he has caused many people. I hope that he learns from his mistakes.

The prostitute said in an interview today:
"My intent was never to destroy his family. My intent was to expose a hypocrite."

Whether there was a hidden agenda for this prostitute bringing this to light or not, I am glad that he did.

Score one for truth and justice.
