Title: Another Giant Leaves Us.

 :cry:

Another great huckster has passed...

QuoteTelevision evangelist Oral Roberts — who once said God would "call him home" if he failed to meet a fundraising goal — has died after suffering a weekend fall. He was 91.

A posting on the Oral Roberts Ministries site Tuesday stated Roberts had been admitted to hospital on the weekend after a fall and had been suffering symptoms of pneumonia.

"Oral Roberts was the greatest man of God I've ever known," his son Richard Roberts, who leads the ministry, said in a statement.

"A modern-day apostle of the healing ministry, an author, educator, evangelist, prophet, and innovator, he was the only man of his generation to build a worldwide ministry, an accredited university, and a medical school. His name is synonymous with miracles. And he came along when many in Christendom did not believe in God's power and goodness."

The website of the multi-million dollar ministry founded by Roberts quickly posted tributes on Tuesday.

Website, you say?

Rog, you are an evil, evil man.  This is awesome.  Also, fuck Oral Roberts.  He obviously didn't meet his fucking quota and "Jaysus" brought him "home"...if this was what a "greatest man of God" was, well then shit, everyone else needs to just kickback already.

I've got my money on Robertson being the next one to go.  (or maybe Ted Haggert in some kind of unfortunate and unseemly incident) I think that fucker Dobson is going to hang around for awhile.

:lol:  Well, perhaps he had forbears or children/grandchildren with those, uh, distinctions?

There are some old-timey names (esp ones from the South) that are pretty lulzy, I do admit.

+10 points to anyone who uses the phrase "God gave us Oral" or some variation thereof.
