Evangelical leader resigns over gay sex allegations

[Psycho4Bud]

Following allegations that he paid a male escort for sex over a three-year period, Ted Haggard, pastor of 14-thousand member New Life Church in Colorado Springs, Colo., has placed himself on leave from church duties and resigned as president of the National Association of Evangelicals

The escort, Mike Jones of Denver, told reporters that he and Hagard has a longstanding "business relationship," and that he is stepping forward with the charges now because he is concerned that Haggard doesn't practice what he preaches. Haggrad has been campaigning for proposed state Amendment 43, which would ban same-sex marriage in Colorado.

Haagrd told an NBC affiliate on Wednesday that he had "never had a gay relationship with anybody," and that he was "steady with my wife."

An investigative group independent of the New Life Church will look into the charges. The panel may exonerate, discipline, or terminate the pastor based on its findings.

And now he has admitted to buying meth, but he never used it.
He threw it out after every(several)times he bought it.

Sounds like the trend.

"I smoked, but didn't inhale."
"I bought it, but threw it out before I used it."

Hell, I am gonna use that defense.

"I was growing, but i wasn't gonna smoke it. Iwas going to destroy it after it made those pretty flowers."

lol, I cracked up when I saw it was the same guy that Richard Dawkins debated in his "Root of all Evil" documentary (who, btw, totally lost it with dawkins).

He's probably using a variation of that excuse with his wife.

Wife: "Have you been having mad monkey butt sex with guys?"

Haggard: "No, no, no! I always pull up my pants before he can stick his dick in me!"

Wife: "Oh. Well. That's okay then."

That's right, he's the same dip shit that threatened him [Dawkins] in the church parking lot. Dawkins should've called him a cocksucker and told him he had pictures... that would've made the film more interesting.
