Oral Roberts isn't named specifically and he himself appears mostly innocent, except negligence. It is mostly his family. What a waste for thousands of innocent people to have sent him money.

Dreamer,
That sucks. This is why I hate evangelists.

Shawn,
The school misappropriated funds for many things so why exactly is the school innocent? Why does someone who points out failings in something Christian become the antichrist? Does this mean pointing out failings in the Black Panther movement suddenly make me anti-black? Or the failings in the Baltimore Orioles make me anti-Oriole?

Nice rant Lady Phoenix. Of course it had nothing to do with the article and I even said Oral himself looks to be innocent, except of negligence. Maybe you should read the articles and details.

"God" is big business in America.

Glib crooks see becoming big shot religious leaders as a scam with little risk of ever being punished because 1) the government generallly leaves religion alone and 2) the followers tend to be gullible, unquestioning and not too bright.

You should not be against the institution. You are either for God or against Him. Father and son could be crooks but thousands of folk graduate from there every year. Their God is the God of the bible. I will assume that you are not a Christian because a Christian would not go out of his way to fight against the hand of God. If you are a Christian, it is really sad. Learn to delineate between the hand of man and the hand of God. The school is perfect and is one of the few Christian Universities. Do not support the Roberts, but be careful when attacking the school If you do not think God does not lead thousands to that school, you are sadly mistaken. You are functioning out of an Anit-Christ spirit.

i grew to become right into a Hilary supporter and that i'll proceed to help her by means of conserving the Clinton legacy alive by means of no longer having a Bush lacky in place of work (or a minimum of one which is being super investment by means of him)

My mother and stepfather gave Oral Roberts their life savings 20 years ago.....they are still raging Fundamentalist Christians to this day.

And every cop who goes bad means we should hate all cops.
And every teacher who molests a child means we should hate all teachers.
And every democrat who screws up means we should hate all democrats (or republicans...).
And every athlete who lets animals die (or cheats by taking steroids) means we should despise every athlete...
Funny, isn't it, how that ONLY works for people calling themselves Christians. When others do wrong....well, THEN we say "just because one is bad doesn't mean the others are" but if it's a "Christian"....oh my lord...then we're ALL liars and cheaters and horrible people.

I think Richard's wife may become the new "Oral" Roberts with all those calls to those underage males.

Make sure you give your preacher your 10% that he so richly deserves.
I am 134, is it too late for me to become a preacher?

I've never been much of one for televangelists. Sadly though, I'm not surprised.
