    [pious frown monotone]

    Rachel: "We worship you... ," they're

    [exuberant jumping]

    Rachel: "Hallelujah God!" And depending on how they invite him, he'll be there, or not.

  • Ted Haggard: We've decided the Bible is the word of God. We don't have to have a General Assembly about what we believe. It's written in the Bible. Alright, so we don't have to debate what we think about homosexual activity. It's written in the Bible.

    [pointing and looking into the camera]

    Ted Haggard: I think I know what you did last night.

    [audience laughs]

    [audience and Haggard laughs]

    [smiles mischievously]

    Home-schooled kids: I watch 'em all the time at my dad's house.
