DUers are missing the bigger issue re: Haggard. [View All]

The fact that Haggard is apparently gay and had been in denial may well be great fodder for those who seek any excuse they can find to lampoon or otherwise curse the fundies. Criticism is well deserved. You may feign moral outrage at Haggard's hypocrisy and you may choose him as the the poster boy for everything that is wrong with the fundamentalist movement, but I am a little disheartened that no one seems to care at all that he was at his core...an adulterer... If he had been banging his church secretary instead would you be equally as harsh?


The issue of gay sex is actually secondary to most Christians I have spoken with since the story broke.. The greater issue is that he has been an adulterer and has been deceiving his wife all these years. Where is the outrage over that?


Sadly the undercurrent of what I have seen in these threads is that apparently adultery is less important than hypocrisy is to many of you. Are we actually so "progressive" that we do not tolerate hypocrisy but will turn a blind eye to adultery whether by Bill Clinton or Ted Haggard?
