Thanks, BlogDad
I've been really struggling with how to approach the Ted Haggard conundrum. The homosexuality issue is the single most difficult issue we face as evangelical Christians, and to see it emerge so plainly - sitting so close to the election, too, right when religious conservatives need it the least - just makes me feel like I'm playing with fire just talking about it.
It's times like these when Jeff Eaton hits the home-run ball.
But seriously, Conservatives have been making this WAY harder than they should be these days. Between Congressman Foley and Evangelical WunderPastor Ted Haggard, the data points are starting to accumulate. You're not helping me with this 'opposing stupid rhetorical tricks' campaign I'm on. It's like trying to explain the problems with straw-man attacks only to have the other debate participant admit, "Well, actually I DO eat puppies, and my plans WOULD lead to the destruction of life as we know it..."So, if you're going to fight against gay marriage day in and day out, y'know... Please try to avoid the hot man lovin'. Work with me, Conservatives. Please?
Amen, and amen.
UPDATE: Ted Haggard's and Gayle Haggard's letters to New Life Church. That'll be a primary document that will beg lots of discussion in the days to come. (Hat tip: David Kuo.)
