TULSA, Okla. - Twenty years ago, televangelist Oral Roberts said he was reading a spy novel when God appeared to him and told him to raise $8 million for Roberts' university, or else he would be "called home."This is just so sweet!! Just when you think we have run out of "god" scandals another one heads its ugly rear. Now, this time, its related to Oral Roberts University in god-heavy Oklahoma.
Now, his son, Oral Roberts University President Richard Roberts, says God is speaking again, telling him to deny lurid allegations in a lawsuit that threatens to engulf this 44-year-old Bible Belt college in scandal.
Richard Roberts is accused of illegal involvement in a local political campaign and lavish spending at donors' expense, including numerous home remodeling projects, use of the university jet for his daughter's senior trip to the Bahamas, and a red Mercedes convertible and a Lexus SUV for his wife, Lindsay.
The only question I have is this: "Were Oral Roberts and Larry Craig ever in the same airport bathroom together?" With a name like Oral's I'll bet Larry at least fantasized about him.
