Almighty Finally Whacks Controversial Minister.
From the Dallas News:
Evangelist Oral Roberts dies at age 91
Tuesday, December 15, 2009
Oral Roberts, the Tulsa, Okla., evangelist who rose from an obscure tent revivalist to become one of the century's most recognized religious figures, died today of complications from pneumonia, his ministry said.
...
Some Americans will remember Mr. Roberts as the itinerant revivalist with the "world's largest tent" who from the '40s to the '60s traveled from town to town with his preaching and faith healing ministry.
Others will recall him as a religious broadcasting pioneer who made the transition from sawdust trail preacher to the highest rated evangelist in prime-time television.
But for many others, Mr. Roberts may well be most remembered for the times he claimed that God appeared to him with specific instructions for conducting his ministry.
...
Faced with a financial crunch in 1980, Mr. Roberts wrote in a fund-raising letter that he had seen a 900-foot-tall image of Jesus standing over his hospital complex. The vision was a sign from God that the medical complex would be completed, he said. During the next few months, his ministry received millions of dollars.
In 1987, Mr. Roberts stunned the nation when he reported that he needed $8 million for his medical school by April 1 or God would take him "home." The money was raised, but financial troubles continued. A few months later it was revealed that donations to the ministry had plunged from $5 million a month to $2.7 million.
When reached for comment, Yahweh would only say, "Oh Oral? Won't see him no more."

I guess the snake twirler's $8,000,000 gift from the adoring followers finally ran out and he was "called home."
No loss.

Get a load of that fucking hillbilly bullshit.
Yeah well, fuck him and the horse he rode in on.
I asked elsewhere if it was too soon to think about organizing the beer bash to piss on his grave and lubricate his way into hell.
I'm guessing I can put you down for a twelve-pack, easy.
