Here's Richard Dawkins questioning Ted Haggard, the evangelical leader who was put on leave this week due to allegations of him paying for sex with a male prostitute.

1. Brilliant - hostile, narrow, nasty little man, is Rev. Ted

Dawkins RULES!

[bif]

3. What a dickhead

I'm not surprised at the recent allegations.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

2. i'd LOVE to hear Dawkins now, in light of his being tossed from

church grounds.

7. I'd love to hear his point of few on the out of the closet pastor

what an arrogant pig.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

8. but, he is "steady" with his wife. WTF does that mean?

Even before these revealing, revelling, revelations, Haggard gave me the heebie jeebies. Those have only increased. Not because he is a closet queen; I care not one whit about someone's sexual orientation. His hypocrisy, his damage wrought on innocents, and his lies - those really creep me out.

4. I knew I had seen him in some documentary.

Thanks for the reminder about which one.

14. the whole programme can be seen on YouTube or Google vids

search by title - The Root of All Evil

It's a great documentary all about Dawkins take on fundamentalism, not just Christians.

5. Hearing his arrogant tone while he had soooo much to hide

is enough to turn one's stomach.

[skooooo]

6. What's wrong with his lips..

..and why do all these pervert republicans have faces that even look twisted and crooked?

15. Reminds me of looking at a platypus

that exaggerated mouth is all you can see!

In the video (at 1:07) where Haggard is walking down a line of young boys, he head butts one and the boy looks like a rock star just touched him. Gives me the creeps.

9. kick

:kick:

[lumpy]

10. Smarmy arogant little man with his darting eyes, twisted

lips and phony, ingratiating grin. Religious fakery is so destructive to a society. Hard to shake the image of this guy high on meth, satisfying his lust, meanwhile his trusting wife at home with 5 children he has deceived as well as his own faith and congregation.

11. when will they ever learn?

[slowry]

12. Arrogance.

It never ceases to amaze me how the honest man, who states clearly that he doesn't pretend to know the whole story of our existence, that he does his best to understand it using every faculty at his disposal, is labeled the arrogant one.

[BurtWorm]

13. What a sick, twisted, motherfucking, know-nothing, fascist dictator.

Should I toss the word "cock-sucking" in there, too?

:think:

[GCP]

16. I don't communicate an air of superiority

but you can be great, like me.

Hypocrite, through and through, all the way to the bone(r)

[Justpat]

17. This is hard to watch.

What an arrogant bastard.

I would think that spiritual arrogance is worse than intellectual
arrogance.

Once you think you have the ultimate knowledge of God's word,
you are lost. It is spiritually arrogant to believe that any
single person or group has a lock on the truth.
