Watch this video clip from Jesus Camp and Ted Haggard........
The sex scandals continue...
After first trying the deny, deny deny route, anti-gay mega-church leader Ted Haggard now admits to "indiscretions" with a gay male escort, Mike Jones. "Jones also claims Haggard used drugs with him."

In that light, you'll want to take a look at this video clip from Jesus Camp (brought to our attention by Zontar). I'd call this footage jaw-dropping, but that wording might tempt some of you to make a truly sinful pun:

2. That could hardly be more creepy
It's almost as creepy as the video of OJ making stabbing motions with a banana...

How nice the much loathed Jesus Camp has been brought into this though!

4. That clip is very telling....
The basis for these "beliefs" are as Haggard said: "its in the bible."

But just what IS the bible? Is what is written there ALL TRUE? And if it is ALL TRUE, then why do so many of their leaders ignore the other passages like those dealing with adultery? Why do they, and how can they excuse the behavior and the lives of the aldulterous and divorced politicians? Politicians they've supported and helped them get elected in order to advance their religious agenda? Aren't they supposed to be shunned? Stoned? Can good come from evil? Aren't they condemning themselves to HELL when they ignore God's laws and apply them in-full?

These are all rhetorical questions because I don't require the answers. But those people listening him on that clip.... they do.
