Another One Bites the Dust
I don't really know how to feel in hearing the news of Pastor Ted Haggard's previous secret of crystal meth use and gay sex (I know, he only admits to getting a "massage"). Part of me wants to shout for joy, and part of me hurts for him and his family. As much as I think Freud to be wacko, he actually hit the nail on the head when speaking of deep "closet cases" such as Haggard. The good pastor is a classic case of reaction formation, lashing out at that characteristic that most deeply defines himself.
I hurt for his family, not because Haggard is gay, but because of the process of healing they are all going to have to go through now. I know if the process is done right, healing will occur. Healing, in this case, means his wife moves on in a healthy way, and Haggard discovers how to live as a healthy gay man. I want to shout for joy because this is another case of the deep hypocrisy in moral code-based spirituality. I pray that something goods comes of it.
Peace & Blessings.
