Evangelical Pastor Under Fire

November 9, 2006 | ISSUE 42•45

After admitting that he received sexual favors and meth from a male prostitute, President of the National Association of Evangelicals Ted Haggard resigned his post and was dismissed from his church. What do you think?

Maybe if his wife were a man who provided him with crystal meth, this poor guy wouldn't have had to go searching for other ways to satisfy his urges.

Show me in the Bible where it says ‘thou shall not engage in sinful sexual acts with another man,’ and that ‘that same man should also not be trafficking drugs to you’ all in the same sentence.
