Ted Haggard trying to make a comeback as insurance salesman
as a Christian businessman.

<snip>

Earlier this month, a guest took the pulpit at Open Bible Fellowship in Morrison, Ill., a 350-member church surrounded by cornfields. The speaker was an insurance salesman from Colorado named Ted Haggard.

The former superstar pastor, disgraced two years ago in a sex-and-drugs scandal, had returned — this time as a Christian businessman preaching a message that was equal parts contrition and defiance. Haggard linked his fall to being molested in second grade and apologized again.

The man who confessed to being a "a deceiver and a liar" is asking for another hearing, finding encouragement from a loyal circle of supporters, skepticism from those evangelical leaders who think it's premature and complex emotions at the Colorado Springs church he betrayed.

Bwaaaaaaaaaah hahahahahahhahha :rofl: :rofl:

4. Is he selling rapture insurance??
I've thought about that... wonder how many fundies would give me power of attorney over their belongings in the event that they are raptured? They wouldn't want all their stuff falling into the wrong hands, dontcha know... I've volunteered to stay behind to be a "Protector of Things"
