Piss off, you Pharisee.

If you think Haggard was a Pharisee, think again. He was liberal on the environment and sought to keep government oversight OUT of personal choices. He's not conservative enough for me, not my type of pastor, but definitely no Pharisee.

He is not, in any way, equivalent to a Pharisee.

He was not maintaining he didn't sin, but instead, when confronted, he admitted what he should have and very willingly left the ministry.

The Pharisees were hypocrites. To be a hypocrite, one must say they do one thing while actually doing the opposite.

To be a leader, you must be open to criticism and seek to change when found wanting.

No Christian leader is sinless. If we couldn't encourage others with the Word of God without being blameless, no knowledge of God could ever be shared.

Examine yourself. I believe you'll find yourself wanting.
