Pastor Haggard speaks in church about how being gay is wrong. God made man and woman for a reason; to be with one another, get married, have kids. His beginning argument is that he did not pay Mike Jones as a prostitute but for a massage and he did buy the methamphetamine but never used it just threw it away. Later on he does apologizes about the hole thing and being against homosexuals.

Haggard expostulated,"he received a massage from Jones but denied sex with him" and "he bought the methamphetamine, but threw it away instead of using it."(Haggard 4). Ted had admitted willingly about methamphetamine but quickly answered back by stating he threw it away. Later in his speech he laments that he has been "working it out" with his therapist, trying to make it seem like he's always needed help. Some people will give him sympathy thinking, well hes had problems in the past he probably cant help it.

No,Ted Haggard does not have a good ethos to me, he lied about having sexual relations. Later on in interview he had with a reporter he says he is thankful for experiencing "this" because it gave him "closure". To me he is changing his story so who knows whats true, its also said that he ,"has been a drug addict". Who knows if he really threw out the meth. A man who has been preaching about how being a homosexual is wrong, then does the exact opposite by having an affair with a man. can you really tell me you trust him, because i dont!
