Oral Roberts joins the huge trash heap of evangelicals that are proven liars, thieves, gay-bashing *** and assorted other reprobates. The troubles of the Repug Party just keep getting better and better!

This man and his minions have been preying upon the poor, weak and desperate; promising that with donations for prayer services god will answer their wants to have a better job and home.

The money from these desperate people is spent for lavish lifestyles, mansions, custom tailored clothing, fancy cars and private jets; almost the life style of Hugh Hefner.

What would jesus do if he were a televangelist? Quite the opposite of what is occuring today, no doubt.

Another holier-than-thou type brought down by mammon. "If money be not thy servant, it will be thy master. The covetous man cannot so properly be said to possess wealth, as that may be said to possess him." Sir Francis Bacon.

Your mistaking a snake oil salesman for a conservative. Your wrong.

Roberts claimed that the home remodeling stemmed from a "black mold" infestation and the fact that the home has been pummeled by hail.
I think God want''s your ear for a moment, Mr. Rogers.
Also, does "...in God''s timing, and when the board feels that it is appropriate,.." mean to say that God and "the board" are one and the same?
