Evangelical pastor Christopher Beard is gay

These are difficult times for Evangelical Christians. The more homophobic they become the more they find out that the church has acted like a magnet for homosexuals. It all started with their leader Ted Haggard admitting to be not only a gay but hanging out with prostitutes. The latest reports say that he is undergoing degayfication.

Another bomb was dropped with Mary Cheney's pregnancy and the praise it received from both grandparents Dick and Lynne Cheney and president Bush.

Then yet another pastor Paul Barnes quit admitting to be a closet gay.

The sad news keeps coming. A colleague of Ted Haggard, pastor Christopher Beard, has also admitted to being gay though he did not have sex with Ted Haggard. I think that both of them can do that in hell.

Are there 30 year old virgins out there?

While kids may be losing their virginity in their early teens, some people manage to stay virgins much longer (e.g. Jessica Simpson, Katie Holmes). BTW, we are talking about the G8 world here - it seems that in many parts of the world most people lose their virginity to their spouses - exactly the way the Catholics like it.

And oh, did you know that you can restore your virginity through a procedure called hymenoplasty - just in case you do not want to let your partner know that you were messing around or if you just want to let your man "break the seal" as the guys say.

Well, there are common folks too who fail to find a relationship not because they really believe everything the Pope says or what some ultra-right evangelicals would like to see, but that they just can't find the right person. Jane magazine recently featured one of such women.

Democratic evangelical is no longer an oxymoron

Earlier, I used to think that "gay Republican" was an oxymoron - but I changed my opinion once Mark Foley, Ted Haggard, and so many others proved me wrong.

And today I am changing my opinion again - "Democratic evangelical" is also not an oxymoron either. As many as one out of three evangelican christians have voted for the Democrats.

Sweet!

Ted Haggard the liar and deceptor in chief

After repeatedly talking like Bill Clinton, world's #1 hypocrite Ted Haggard has finally confessed to loving what he told everyone to hate. How sick can anyone be?

This case is a wonderful opportunity for evangelical Christians to stop their hateful agenda against gays, but from what I read, they have abandoned their darling pastor for now and will march on with their hatred in full glory.

"I realize that Ted Haggard has made a terrible mistake and I'm really glad for him, and for everybody that did come out in the open, because lies and deception are much worse than the truth," says Joyce Meyer (on ABC), a prominent evangelist from St. Louis. "But I don't believe what he's done has changed the stand on morality or the word of God. Nor do I think it should change our stand on gay marriage."

A sad day for Jesus Christ!

Ted Haggard, Neil Patrick Harris, similar but different

There is someone else who has flip-flopped on his sexuality: Neil Patrick Harris ("How I Met Your Mother"). When news first surfaced that he may be gay, instead of admitting right away, his publicist denied that was the case. In just 24 hourse, the story changed - he is indeed gay, he said.

"[I] am quite proud to say that I am a very content gay man living my life to the fullest and feel most fortunate to be working with wonderful people in the business I love," he said.

Wouldn't it be nice if Ted Haggard would simply tell the world that he is gay and actually start a fight for acceptance of gays in the evangelical community? I am still having difficulty understanding why he keeps lying.

Bye Ted (Haggard)

As reported earlier, Ted Haggard has indirectly confessed his homosexuality by stepping aside. Over dinner I was wondering how you could leave this double life.

So you came home every night feeling good about fooling these millions of (should I say idiotic?) evangelicals who seem to live in a fantasy world in which gays don't exist. And you feel, wow, I must be really smart because I can have it all - a stud called Mike Jones, all the drugs that I want, and then have all these idiots literally hanging on to every word that I say. Some even went on the Jerusalem diet that he recommended.

A pastor who is so full of lies and hypocrisy is worse than a gay pastor. Christians, wake up!
