Other than the increasing scientific evidence that Republican Jesus Freak = Weirdo closeted homosexual who needs some Rehab, there may be another reason Ted Haggard carried on a three-year meth/sex arrangement with a male prostitute.
Better yet, it's theological.
In Ted Haggard's book, "Primary Purpose", published in 1995, it is said that the spiritual climate in your city can be changed to such an extent that it will be "hard for people to go to hell from your city ... It happened in Colorado Springs, and it can happen in your city too." (Ted Haggard, Primary Purpose, Charisma Book Warehouse)So it doesn't matter who or what Ted Haggard does, because he save his entire town from The Devil!
