How Does a Pastor Survive a Sex Scandal?
Pajamas Media ^ | January 29 | Christian Toto

The Trials of Ted Haggard isn’t the hit piece one might suspect of a project directed by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s daughter, filmmaker Alexandra Pelosi.

Then again, it’s hard to determine just what Trials truly is.

The exasperating documentary, airing tonight on HBO, tracks the disgraced pastor’s life following news he had had a sexual relation with a male prostitute.

The documentary’s timing is fortuitous for anyone eager to swat Haggard for his actions. News broke this week of another sex scandal involving the once-mighty pastor....

2nd undeniable truth about liberalism:

Libs promote NO freedoms except those related to sexual behavior choices.

And they just love to use stories like this to point out that there shouldn’t be, and can’t be, any moral restraint in this area of human behavior.

Our Pastor is in the slammer. He will die there. The wife and three daughters are still hurting.

It’s a good thing that those in The Body don’t put their faith in individuals....but instead, the only One Who is Faithful and True.

Hence, I put those words in capital letters - a proper name - one of the many names of God. (See Revelations) In other words, The One trumps ‘the one’ who comes to steal and to kill.

Pastor writes a book and gets a deal; lover interviews on Greta and quotes the book, thereby pimping the sales.

Everybody wins.

“What is it about libs - they always want to talk about the unspeakable.”

because they want the unseemly, the unacceptable, the morally corrupt behaviors to become mainstream. They show you the ‘sad, emotional, loveable’ side and it makes people want to embrace what’s wrong in society.
