Last week I posted: Wow. A Must-See for Everyone!

I linked to the Richard Dawkins’ documentary regarding “The God Delusion,” and he interviewed mega-church televangelist and buddy to the Bruce Chapman, head of the very ironically named The Discovery Institute (a thinly veiled political strong-arm organization for anti-science,) and James Dobson of the “our business is in your bedroom” Focus on the Family, Ted Haggard.

He was extremely arrogant and self-righteous. Very. And after his twisted reasoning is questioned, he becomes surly and pissy and throws Richard Dawkin’s off his compound, er, property. Well, here’s an interesting revelation:

So, why is the fall of someone like that make me so gleeful? Isn’t that pretty mean? Yeah, well, it’s cosmic justice against people who set themselves up as a bastion of uber-morality. And that makes me happy.

If he’s gay, or even bi, fine. There’s nothing wrong with that. Prostitution, eh, no biggie. (Personally, drugs are NOT fine, but, people who do use them, their business.) But when you create this agenda of anti-gay, gay-bashing, homophobia, and spend you time and money (and other peoples’ money) on anti-gay campaigns with the message that being gay is evil and wrong and terrible, and it’s revealed you have gay sex…I revel in the hypocrisy.
