Oral Roberts dead -- age 91

Evangelist Oral Roberts has died, a posting on the Oral Roberts Ministries site said Tuesday. He was 91.
...
Granville Oral Roberts was one of the most famous and influential Christian leaders and was renowned as an evangelist, author, educator, and television personality.

In 1947 Roberts established the Oral Roberts Evangelistic Association in Tulsa, Oklahoma and conducted miracle healing crusades across America and around the world in a great "tent cathedral." Each night, thousands who were sick and dying came for healing prayer.

Anon 1 and 2 - not funny.

Now, Oral Roberts is one of those evangelicals that got rich on the "business" of religion.

Corporate Greed and the Religion of Wealth: In the temple courts [Jesus] found men selling cattle, sheep and doves and other
sitting at tables exchanging money. So he made a whip out of cords, and drove all from the temple area, both sheep and cattle;
he scattered the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables. [John 2:14 & 15.] Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; a man's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions. [Luke 12.15.] Truly, I say unto you, it will be hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. [Matthew 19:23] You cannot serve both God and Money. [Matthew 6:24.]

Jeebus, and I just finished paying off the million bucks I had to put up last time to keep God from swallowing him up whole!
