A gay state of mind

Ted Haggard is all better now. Honest.

I don’t know, people wouldn’t make such a big deal about it if he hadn’t been so adamant in the first place. There's a good Jesus Camp clip of Pastor Ted: someone that flippantly self-righteous, you just know it's a recipe for disaster.

So, it turns out it was all in his mind. Which brings me to Nobel prize-winning neuroscientist Santiago Ramón y Cajal, who was quoted here as saying:
As long as our brain is a mystery, the universe, the reflection of the structure of the brain, will also be a mystery.

It’s a fabulous thought. I think I'd take out the ‘as long as’ - it’s a mystery forever, full stop.
