Ted Haggard is an Unbelievable Bastard

Apparently, after 3 weeks of "intensive counseling", the Rev. Ted Haggard is now convinced that he is completely "cured" of his homosexuality.

What an Unbelievable Bastard.

Haggard is full of shit and he knows it. Homosexuality isn't curable in the same way that heterosexuality isn't "curable". Just ask any homosexual. Rev. Ted's message to young people (with whom he has considerable influence) struggling with sexual confusion is "You need to be cured".

So maybe they try. Maybe they grow up and marry an unfortunate person of the opposite sex. Maybe they procreate with this unfortunate person and have some unfortunate kids. Then, one of two things can happen. 1) They eventually stop lying to themselves, go spit on Rev. Ted's grave, and leave their family broken and sad. 2) They live a sad, twisted lie for the rest of their lives and deny themselves and another person a chance at a real loving relationship in the one life they have.

There is no shortage of people making jokes about what a ridiculous buffoon Ted Haggard is being. Humor isn't really my strong point. I'd like to point out that in addition to being a ridiculous buffoon, Haggard is also an Unbelievable Bastard. He blew a chance to make a real change for the better.
