Abject Reality
(5)
Speaking of 'embarrassed preachers' it looks like Haggard is kaput in the normal everyday sense of 'reputation' and 'ego.' Haggard is finished in that sense. So is his marriage. So are his children. Everything associated with Haggard's former 'reputation' has gone 'poof.' Haggard and family have been thrust into the realm of abject reality. This is a good thing.
His wife will be forced to deal with her actual human problems; his children will be forced to deal with their actual human problems. Haggard will likewise be forced to deal. It will be a severe change from their former fantasy life. This is good!
No god will pretend to intervene in this glorious new life. Will SHe? We all hope not. We think not. In fact, we all know that god will stay the fuck out of it. Meanwhile the Haggards will go through the processes of adjustment to abject reality. Let us wish them well.
There is nothing more desirable than abject reality. Nothing!
