Maybe he was too good at his job? All those judgmental, unforgiving, nasty people did learn how to be judgmental, unforgiving and nasty from him.
How people continually fall for these shysters is beyond me. And the funny thing is, in no time at all he'll have another set of rubes following him along.
There has to be some sort of correlation between how pious and pure you claim to be in public and how depraved you are privately. Ted got pinched with a hooker and some crystal meth. Makes you wonder what he was up to that he didn't get caught doing. You know it was something.

I agree, I do feel bad for the guy and honestly if he lived in my neighbourhood I'd gladly help him out if I could. I just think its too easy to hate and I am at times finding myself able to villify others who disagree with me, but when you realize the human suffering someone like him is going through that anger I had towards him goes away.
I mean he's a guy who if he wasn't brought up religious, would be a gay man living a likely happy life as a gay man. But he didn't, and he has a great wife and kids so really even though he struggled with his demons he did find a way to live his life 'mostly' according to his beliefs even under what must me immense internal desires that he has.
I found myself liking the guy a lot after the documentary, I don't forgive his comments on gays and his anti-evolutionary belief, but I would forgive his actions and I'm an atheist, what astounds me his how Evangelical Christians couldn't and not only couldn't they really judged and harshly treated him.
Imagine all the evangelicals in his Church who have tons of sins and secrets that would cause them utter shame and humilitation amongst their friends. If Evangelicals are this unforgiving, lacking in compassion, etc.. I really wonder why the consider themselves believers of Jesus' teachings.
