Goin' to the Prayer Meetin'

Ted Haggard letting the boys in for a prayer meeting in the Jacuzzi

Oh ya big sillies! Ted Haggard isn't starting a new church! He just had some folks over for a prayer meeting at his place.

"For the people who come tonight, that means they believe in the resurrection in me," he told reporters before the start of the meeting Thursday night. "Because I died. I was buried."

Ted that sounds a bit too much like you think you might be the Messiah, the big, gay, homophobic Messiah, that is.

As you may recall, Pastor Haggard was bounced out of the New Life Church after it came to light that he engaged in homosexual acts with male prostitutes and then there were the drugs. Oooeee! Not good for an anti-gay, anti-drug hypocrite.

He claims 'we' were getting lonely and by that I think he means he and the missus. Of course he's not going to be spending his time having sex with her, I'm sure.

"People find it hard to stomach me," Haggard admitted Thursday, before the steady stream of people started arriving at his home. "I understand," he said, a slight grimace on his face.

No, Ted, I don't think you do understand why people have issues with you. Personally I'd like you a whole lot better if you started living an honest life.

Even so, the people who showed up at his home were willing to give him a second chance.
"People love a good comeback story," Haggard said.

Come back, Ted. Come all the way back.
