Evangelical Leader Haggard Involved In Gay Sex & Drugs

Ted Haggard evangelical Christian leader in the US has admitted to buying drugs from a male prostitute and seeking a massage, but denied ever having sex with the man or using the drugs.

Haggard, a vocal opponent of gay marriage, resigned as president of the National Association of Evangelicals on Thursday, after being accused by a male escort of having had a sexual relationship with him and using the drug methamphetamine over the past three years.

The 50-year-old father of five told a local television channel in his home state of Colorado that he called the man to buy drugs but that he later threw them away.

His accuser, Mike Jones, has denied that the allegations, coming days before crucial mid-term elections, were politically motivated.

Jones said he had felt compelled to come forward because he believed Mr Haggard's stance against same-sex unions was hypocritical.

Haggard has close links to the White House and was described in 2005 as being one of the 25 most influential evangelicals in the US by Time Magazine.

The 30-million member NAE represents 45,000 churches across the United States.

He is seen as an influential supporter of President George W Bush, and up to this day has been talking with Bush weekly on the upcoming elections, and is often credited with rallying evangelical voters behind the Republicans during the 2004 election.

Bill Clinton said he tried smoking marijuana but didn't inhale, what can Haggard say about meth, "I snorted it, but I didn't catch a buzz." No he said, "I bought it but I threw it away."

Ok I buy crack all the time from drug dealers, hoping someday I will get the courage to smoke it, until then I just continue to buy it and toss it in the garbage, then I pray for courage and then proceed to call up gay guys to give me a massage.

Total Bull Shit, this is why I don't go to church, "What does the messenger do in his spare time, molest little boys and girls, then they tell me I'm a sinner for drinking beer."
