    Default God speaks again: Oral Roberts University

    Well, ya'll, da Lawd done came down once again and spoke to the Roberts' men. This time it was Richard Roberts. God told him to step down amidst a $50 million scandal:

    " Roberts says God forced his resignation"

    Roberts spoke only for a few minutes and was applauded and cheered by students. He wiped away tears with a white handkerchief and his hands.

    "This has nearly destroyed my family, and it's nearly destroyed ORU," Roberts said.

    A lawsuit accuses Roberts of lavish spending at a time when the university faced more than $50 million in debt, including taking shopping sprees, buying a stable of horses and paying for a daughter to travel to the Bahamas aboard the university jet.

    Roberts has previously said that God told him to deny the allegations. The week the lawsuit was filed, Richard Roberts said that 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."

    On Wednesday, Roberts said God told him he would "do something supernatural for the university," if he stepped down from the job he held at the 5,700-student school since 1993.

    Lay off Dick, 'Cesca!

    Roberts wasn't driving drunk, using steroids, divorcing K-Fed or killing dogs. He merely spent donated funds lavishly on himself and his family--versus squandering them on the students or the facilities at an institute of higher learning.

    C'mon, the university has his father's name on it in permanent marker! Besides, since God above is advising Roberts, his questionable actions don't constitute embezzlement or misappropriation because of their spiritual origins. Haven't you heard of The Burning Bush?

    Speaking of "burning bushes," what's the latest regarding his wife and the "hundreds of text messages between 1:00am & 3:00am to underage males who had been provided phones at university expense"???

    IMO, the authorities should be more concerned about investigating Ms. Robert's pedophilia than her husband's divinely guided consumerism...

    Regardless, no jail time or charges for either of them, you can trust and believe!

    Oh, hellz yeah!! They have a lot of powerful people in high places on their side. No one is paying for a damn thing. To make matters worse, no one ever adds up all the tallies that the Fundies seem to earn for their shitty behavior.

    But what do I know? I'm just a bitter preacher's grandkid!! LOL!

    Toss all your money in the air! What stays in the air is yours to keep and what falls to the ground belongs to the Lord.

    It is my belief that followers are led into the spiritual wilderness they seek.

    Hahaha! That's really the effect isn't it? I'm not un-spiritual, but this stuff is insane. My mother's church sent her a letter telling her they made 1/2 million dollars last year. A small, local NJ church. Off the money people send.

    I hope god does do something supernatural for that university. Like get it a decent Board of Governers to oust these people.

    the fucking scary thing about all this is that the Oral Roberts faithful are swallowing this pile of crap hook, line and sinker, and thinking Dick as an even greater man than before........

    rant on: Jesus fucking Christ people, will you please start believing what your eyes, ears and your brain are telling you about these religious phonies!!

    "Faith" in the world is going to cause the end of all of us!

    Hey, 'Cesca!

    Last Wednesday, another scandal broke in suburban Atlanta. These preachers are billy goats!

    DECATUR, Ga. - The 80-year-old leader of a suburban Atlanta megachurch is at the center of a sex scandal of biblical dimensions: He slept with his brother's wife and fathered a child by her...

    This story reminds me so much of this statement.

    " God is for the poor, and the rich get all the money". I believe there is a higher form in spirit. I just dont think none of the religons got it right! It sometimes seem that religon bonds people togethier, and leaves an open spot for people to be tooken advantage of! Using sterotypes and crazy storys. Yes miracles happen, and yea people can be evil. This story is a perfect reason why, religon is use to control people. God told him to do something, he did it and now he is save. Because a higher form spoke to him, and he obey. I guess we are all suppose to forget about and read a book.

    Power, fame, and money can cause one to loose thier sense of balance withthin thier self. I guess when people loose those sterotypes, like some of those old wives tales. I remember back in the 1500's women who wore to much rouge was consider witches. Or women who read books was consider witches in some towns. Oh or if you throw a woman in the water. She start to floats she is a witch. Gee because I speak my mind, back than I would have been consider a witch. Someone said it before in a post. The differant religons are use to control people. I think they might be particaly right on the matter. Maybe when we all come to a balance in this world. We can gain peace. With Religon comes control, power, money, and war. Look at how much the money all the churches, get each year. We still have people straving and homeless. This is in America, not a foriegn country.

    God told his *ss to resign before, but he chose to hear it as "deny the allegations"...So God opened a can of whoop *ss on him until he FINALLY resigned...sounds about right.
