Meth is called Hillbilly Heroin. Is that why a Bible-thumper like the Rev. Haggard bought it?

All thos red-neck, so called christians have all the skeletons in their closets, like Jim Baker and the other one with the bad hair that cried after taking pictures with a prostitute in a hotel. they're all scum. What I can't believe is the sheep that are stupid enough to follow them. Sad.

I thought Joseph Smith fell and bumped his head and came up with all that nonsense. If I fell and hit my head and said I've got news for everyone from God, I'd be sent to an asylum, but this guy's a prophet. I'm being serious. "Mormo" is the god of the dead in the Satanic bible.

Methamphetamines are not controlled by the FDA anyone with a recipe can make meth.  Meth is way more potent than Ritalin.

Nice PC way to describe the guy, by the way.  Drug salesman!\n\nUm, I don't know that it's anything new.  \n\nThere have always been the stereotypes of the hooker with the heart of gold.  Belle Watley (GWTW), Mary Magdalene, etc.  The point being that even the lowest of the low can sometimes demonstrate a streak of morality.  Just because you're bad in one way doesn't mean you're rotten thru and thru....\n\nI think it says more about them than it does about the "good" guy.  There have always been and always will be those in positions of power who abuse it.  You know the saying - absolute power corrupts absolutely.  Well, I'm not sure that this dude had absolute power, but it sounds like he had some.  Not to mention a really bad upbringing (I'm assuming he was raised in his current faith).\n\nIf he had been raised in a less fundy religion, or perhaps with more forgiving, loving parents, he might not have had to struggle to repress his natural instincts.  Instead, he might have been a perfectly happy gay man doing his thing.\n\nAll this is surmise, of course.  I don't actually know squat about him.

NOOOO it's like heroin. It's what doctors give people that are coming off of heroin.

I think Jesus was the drug dealer of his day and he had that good sh^t that had everyone thinking he was the Son of God because he had some good drugs.  It sounds like they were all high at times but they did have some philosophical ideas.

It was probably laced with something speedy.  It is very possible it had some meth in it, I've heard of dealers putting it in their weed so the smoker doesn't get the "lazy" affect plus it's easier to become addicted.  But meth can keep you up for days.

Because it is extremely powerful like heroin but cheaper so hillbillies can buy it

Look at Bush's spiritual leader Ted Haggerd of the National Association of Evangelicals, with 30 million members.\n\nNot only does he have more followers than any Democrat Presidents pet Preacher. But he is the pinnacle of NeoHighground.\n\nMen like this are the epitome of why you should use soap on a rope when at christian retreats.\n\nGo big Red Go

that is a tough one because i was a meth addict before i met my 2nd husband and there has been twice in the past 10 years that we have been together that i have started using. without telling him.  igot our bills way behind and made him lose his bad credit. but he has also always been there to pick up the pieces. him and some of my other family have got me into church and now i have them plus Gods help. be careful, and good luck, and pray about it ask God what you should do but you have to really open your heart to him to hear the answer, and he may not answer it right away but no prayer goes unanswered.  God Bless You!!!

Using it as an ingredient in an anointing oil is a little different from rolling it up and lighting it and then smoking it. I hardly think that should cause a huge outcry amonst Christians. It was put here by God and therefore had to have an obvious purpose. Native Americans used all parts of the plant for different things over the years as well. That doesn't mean I would consider them Stoners. In the context for which it was used, Simply agree and say yes that is true, however that does not mean it was ever meant to be used as a drug for getting high.

i'm afraid the only "happy ending" to this is the one Haggard's getting from all those massages.\n\non top of being a hypocrite, we know for certain he's a bald-faced liar, because yesterday he didn't even know who this guy was, asking an interviewer on camera: "that guy, what's his name did you say?"\n\ni agree with the repent, rehab, back in business, scenario. and wifey will stand by her man - at least long enough to prop up the fortune before grabbing  half or more in a divorce.\n\nthese people stink to high heaven, so to speak, and anyone that couldn't see it LONG before revelations of gay sex and drugs is just stupid. But hey, believing on faith means not using your head. so go figure, eh?

I am a Christian and I had never heard of Pastor Haggard before in my life and as far as I know he has never run for public office. The church I attend doesn’t talk about politics from the pulpit and I am sure there are people there from many political parties. Did Christ condemn all men because Judas betrayed Him? The answer is no. Will I condemn all Evangelicals because of Haggard? My answer is no. Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.

EXCELLENT point!  Wow, I've never thought of that.\n\nReminds me of this verse that always creeped me out when I was a christian.  2 Thes. 2 :11   And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie\n\nSeems kinda odd to have god up there trying to trip us up.  The big guy needs to up his meds.  Bi-polar disease is no laughing matter god!

Ted Haggard was the leader of a large evangelical  church. Evangelists are Christians, they believe the same, the only difference is that Evangelical Preachers put more emphasis in pointing out sin and getting people saved. That is why Ted Haggard is such a hypocrite, his poor wife, she has to raise five children and know that her husband is a secret homosexual. What a burden she carries.
