Haggard CURED

One of four ministers who oversaw three weeks of intensive counseling for the Rev. Ted Haggard said the disgraced minister emerged convinced that he is "completely heterosexual." And baby Jesus raised his tiny, fat baby fist in victory! The menace of teh ghey has been banished back to Hell, where it belongs. Let this be a lesson to those evil-doers who would "recruit" our children: baby Jesus is coming for you. Get cured, or get bashed. Your call.

It was also the oversight board that strongly urged Haggard to go into secular work.
Maybe teaching school or helping coach a boys team.

This whole thing had me laughing hysterically while it was happening.

However,

Bruce, with respect--I know your comment is meant to be humorous but--please do not equate homosexuality with pedophilia. They are not the same orientation at all, and the affair (if you can call it that) Haggard had was with an adult male. The idea that all homosexual men prey on little boys is inaccurate, unfair, and helps perpetuate prejudice and hatred against this segment of society.

Cloud--striking a blow against violence! er . . .

Further edit: Hope this doesn't get me in trouble! It's my 69th post! I once got thrown off a cat lover's forum, because I said I had my cat's "balls chopped off" and I was told, with extreme frostiness, that it was "a family forum."

Hahhahahahhahaha, this is about as far from a 'family' forum as you can get...


I think Stewart's take on this is the best. "You know how when you were a kid, to keep you from smoking, if your dad caught you with a cigarrette... he'd make you smoke the whole carton? ... ..."

it would be a much better story if he came out completely converted, wanting to spread the word-God Loves Queers!

Now that I'd believe.

uh huh.. the whole thing has struck me as just plain silly.. perhaps little baby jesus uses shock therapy? lightning bolts from the sky? no no wait.. that was zues. personally I don't think baby jesus or even the older model would give one whit if a person were 'gay' (still bugs me that I am now very limited in using that word.. bastards co-opting a good word! and besides.. I have known quite a few homosexuals that wouldn't even be described chipper...) so long as that person were a decent human being.

Curiously, it takes only two weeks to be cured of Christianity.

I think they probably have him wearing a patch now, to be sure he doesn't do any backsliding when tempted. Something like the Nicoret patch only made from the body sweat of gay men, prevents cravings, ya' know?
