Is it Genetic? Can Man be Born a Hypocrite? November 14, 2006

This is such a hilarious commentary from Bill Maher on HBO that I had to repeat it here:
Last week, one of the biggest evangelical leaders in America, the Reverend Ted Haggard, was outed for drugs and extramarital gay sex with a male prostitute. Or as Fox News reported it, “John Kerry hates our troops.”
Reverend Haggard’s plight led many to ask, “Is it genetic? I mean, can a man actually be born a hypocrite?” Because Ted Haggard was the leader of a mega-church. And mega-churches are presided over by the same skeevy, door-to-door Bible salesmen that we’ve always had, just in an age of better technology. But they’re selling the same thing: fear. Fear to keep you in line. And to get your money.
And it’s not a coincidence the Republican Party has, in recent years, operated in the same way. It’s also no coincidence that people of too much faith just don’t see reality.
