Guess Evangelicals are just born that way

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) - Members of the New Life Church were stunned and brought to tears by the Rev. Ted Haggard's confessions of "sexual immorality," then accepted his plea for forgiveness with open arms.

Ted Haggard confessed to his followers that he was guilty of sexual immorality. The Overseer Board of the church fired Haggard on Saturday. (AP Photo/Helen D. Richardson/Pool)
Haggard, who had been a leading evangelist and vocal opponent of gay marriage, apologized Sunday in a letter read from the pulpit of the 14,000-member church he founded.
Some in the standing-room-only crowd wiped away tears and embraced each other as they heard Haggard's words read by a member of the board that fired him a day earlier.
"The fact is I am guilty of sexual immorality. And I take responsibility for the entire problem," Haggard wrote. "I am a deceiver and a liar. There's a part of my life that is so repulsive and dark that I have been warring against it for all of my adult life."
(Gee, so it would seem that if he was warring against it that would mean that he didn’t CHOOSE to have attraction to men be a part of his life but rather it was just in him, kinda screws up the whole “Choose to be gay” line of thinking that his group always uses.) And remember, nobody is more homophobic than somebody who is a closet-case themselves.
