Ted Haggard Starts New Church
Source: Colorado Springs Gazatte

Ted Haggard, who started New Life Church in his Colorado Springs basement and built it into a megachurch with thousands of worshipers, announced today he is starting a church in his living room.

"We wanted to do something in our house to connect with friends," said Haggard, whose ties to New Life ended with the revelation that he'd been involved with a male prostitute in Denver.

Haggard will hold his first gathering at 7 p.m. Nov. 12 at his house at 1865 Old Ranch Road. He referred to it as a "prayer meeting," but said it would also be correct to call it a church. The gathering will include music and an offering to New Life Church. Haggard also will give a talk about the power of prayer.

Although Haggard said just recently he had no plans to start a church, he changed his mind two weeks ago after talking to a friend in Florida who was involved in prayer meetings

3. Haggard and others like him have huge balls

And I don't mean that in a good way.

If I had been an anti-gay preacher caught with a male prostitute or any number of the "family values" republicans that have been caught soliciting sex in a bathroom, in diapers with a prostitute, etc. etc. etc., I honestly would fade from public view. I don't know where they get whatever it is they get to keep going, and I wish that whatever it was wasn't stronger than their sense of shame.

24. Viagra Based "family values"
Your taxpayer dollars are going to people like Ted, thanks to brother George W Bush and his crew of whorehopping biblethumping Compassionate CONservatives. Churches like Ted's are not only tax exempt, now they get a cut of our tax dollars too.

10. Wouldn't the bedroom be a better location?
Closer to the lube, condoms, sex toys, slings, trapezes, cock rings, bathroom, shower, 6-way shower nozzle, enema hose, enema bag, medicine cabinet with the uppers, downers, poppers, Viagra, Cialis, and whatever else the morally upright require for a proper service.
