Jesus Christ, has this guy had enough from Jesus Christ.
I especially love the church’s justification for paying the guy to keep quiet about it:
“Here was a young man who wanted to get on with his life. We considered it more compassionate assistance — certainly not hush money. I know what’s what everyone will want to say because that’s the most salacious thing to say, but that’s not at all what it was.”
Yielding to temptation is totes a good time, but now when the price is damage to your life and the lives of others over whom you hold a great deal of power because you’re a famous pastor and everyone involved thinks they’re going to burn in hell for the price of a snog. Get over it, Haggard. You’re just a homo. It’s all right.
