Ya know, I was in jail once for a short time, and the speed freak gals were the ones who were all ready to jump to Christianity as soon as they got in trouble. Ok, somebody’s gotta say it:

The one I meant was the <i>"I know what you were doing last night! If you give me a thousand dollars I WON'T tell your wife!"</i> video - part of a SERMON, believe it or not. I think I first saw it as part of the <i>Jesus Camp</i> programme, or perhaps Richard Dawkins's encounter with the great man, but if you search for Ted Haggard on <i>YouTube</i> you should find it quite easily. The other video that is VERY revealing is the one where he gives a guided tour of "his" church, bragging all the time about how wonderful it is, and how it's more successful (ie bigger) than any other church on the planet. It's all absolutely nauseating, and he comes over as the worst example of a snake-oil salesman that you've ever had the misfortune to come across! PS (1)The <i>Jesus Camp</i> vids are equally disturbing, though that has been covered before. PS (2)There is a lot of very funny comic material about him as well on <i>YouTube</i>, that should keep you amused for ages!!

Lucky for him though, he can 'be born again' again, after all it was probably the devil that made him do it, so it's not really his fault that he broke the rules.
