Christianity means following Christ, it's not open to personal interpretation. If you say something "bad" about Christianity, it must be weighed against that fact. If you say that Christianity is about pushing gays down flights of stairs, you must say that Christ would have pushed gays down flights of stairs. If it's not true, it is not "Christian" by definition. Someone calling themself Christian cannot assign his or her non-Christian actions to Christianity; he or she must take full responsibility for them. Haggard bought dope from and engaged in sex with a prostitute. Christ would not have done so. That means that Haggard failed to live up to Christ-like standards, not that Christ-like standards are faulty.
