As a short note, the irredemably nasty Oral Roberts has finally met his maker at age 91.
A particularly greedy version of Evanglicus Telivisionious, he once claimed God would call him home if he didn't get $8million US out of the suckers watching him.
His decent started in the 80's even with the spawn of his loins claiming " that he had seen his father raise a child from the dead. That year, the Bloom County comic strip recast its character Bill the Cat as a satirized televangelist, "Fundamentally Oral Bill". In 1987 Time stated that he was "re-emphasizing faith healing and [is] reaching for his old-time constituency."However, his income continued to decrease (from $88 million in 1980 to $55 million in 1986, according to the Tulsa Tribune) and his largely vacant City of Faith Medical Center continued to lose money.
For all that I love a classy con man, this B*stard failed to entice and didn't even have the Tammy Faye Baker makeup to add to his image.
As you sit around your festive feasts raise a glass and hope this leach is truly burning in his imaginary hell. |
