I laugh out loud at almost nothing, but seeing this on the news yesterday put me in the throes of belly laughter. Not being from America, my only experience of Haggard was from that Dawkins show (called 'Root of All Evil', or as I like to call it, 'That Dawkins Show'). Although I knew it was an irrational thought, I thought that I could tell he was a creep just from looking at him and hearing him talk; so it's good to see that my almost unjustified hatred of Ted Haggard now has a foundation (a foundation beyond that of being a generally creepy, money-grabbing evangelist).

Re: nemesis_juggernaut's moral standard refuted by Haggard ... et al

No one needs 'training' on morals. When people are trained in their morals, that's when true morality becomes skewed, IMO. Its like I tell my pro-abort buddies. Take a little child who has formal understanding of right or wrong, or even death, down to the clinic and let them watch it. Would they not be horrified?
A child would obviously be horrified, because it would only be considering the very present act of foetus being killed.

I've asked that question to a few people, some of them responded, "You're sick for wanting to take a little kid to watch an abortion." LOL! Oh, but wait, I thought there was nothing wrong with it! For the record, I wouldn't subject any child to that, but thanks for admitting that its wrong.
You'd be 'sick' for wanting to watch a number of things, like seeing somebody pass kidney stones, but does that make passing kidney stones morally wrong?
