you could
Run a 24 hour news station, and fill each hour with a drip feed of dreck. Top of the news hour, every hour, would be the dreck in the U.S.
You could. Except it would make you sick.
A follow-up on Ted Haggard, former "megachurch"[1] pastor and former head of the National Association of Evangelicals, husband, and father of five, man with a predilection for gay escorts and crystal meth.
Really, you can't make this up: it wasn't just Moses in de Nile.
[1] meg·a·church (mĕg'ə-chûrch') n. shop front for fund-raising and money-laundering business. tr. v., irregular fleece (flēs) fleeced, fleec·ing, fleec·es.

Saint, a question? Do you think your average megachurch pastor is truly 'born-again' / regenerate / saved?

Brad - these are not terms I usually use, and in the final analysis, only God knows who are his own - but I don't see much evidence of conversion of life in say, the Haggards of this world. Do you? Do you even think his organisation is even a "church" in any sense of the term?
