Scandal Brews at Oral Roberts University (http://news.aol.com/story/ar/_a/scandal-brews-at-oral-roberts-university/20071006124309990001?ncid=NWS00010000000001)

Little Richie is doing Daddy proud, having God tell him what to do and then lavishing all that money on personal expenses in that classic splurge that spells "PTL." No doubt someone'll inevitably try to downplay this by saying "It's no madrassa." Of course it's not a madrassa. There's too much fucking money involved and very little of it goes to training Future Christian Soldiers.

Hehe, I'm surprised people still send this family money.

Yes, if only he had allah to tell him to blow himself up in a streetside cafe. Then truly he would be blessed by the prophet (peanut butter on him).

Why does it seem that his wife is trying to flirt with younger men?

She hires an "underage male" as a maintenance worker, she sends 800$ in messages to "underage males"...

I do applaud the professors though, their hearts are in the right place, unlike this Roberts guy.

Why is when God talks to a person, He only ever seems to tell them to either kill women or take money off other ppl to spend on themselves?

Once in a while it'd be nice if God just told them to do a spot of gardening or help out at the local SPCA.

At a chapel service this week on the 5,300-student campus known for its 60-foot-tall bronze sculpture of praying hands, Roberts said God told him: "We live in a litigious society. Anyone can get mad and file a lawsuit against another person whether they have a legitimate case or not. This lawsuit ... is about intimidation, blackmail and extortion."

I see God has dropped all the "let my people go" and "thou shalt not kill" talk for a more corporate style of dialogue with the ones he has a chat with. I wonder if he recommended a legal firm for chuckles there....

And most likely, people still believe in this guy. I'd bet money on it. The dumbness of humanity hasn't let me down yet.

Isn't it obvious? God's a gangster.

Are you kidding? She's a woman in her prime crown-deep in the most anti-woman, repressive and sex-negative segment of society. It looks like she's trying to flirt with younger men because she probably was never allowed to figure out how to flirt with men. I think that's why the fundies and uberconservatives always get caught. No practice.

I live in Tulsa. Why is it I believe every accusation against Roberts and his family? :eek: And people ask me why I'm not a member of any organized religion. :rolleyes:
