Richard Roberts, (Oral Roberts son) has stepped down due to money laundering. Hmm...Oral Roberts told many people that if he didn't have money, he wouldn't go to Heaven. Are these guys obsessed with money?

They are all greedy crooks and people keep falling for their garbage, I can't figure it out.

Naw, it's just proof that Truth Is Out Of Style.

Without Oral's 80s-era scam, we wouldn't have had the inspiration for the lyrical genius that was Mark Griffin.  And Thank God for MC 900 Foot Jesus. 

(Holy crap, according to that page, MC 900's DJing again!  "Everybody shut up and leave me alone, I'm goin' straight to Dallas!")

What about the big guy's money laudering?  The Pope!  There's a good reason the Vatican archives have some the tightest security in the world!

Archives!  Pageboys!
Tom-ayy-to!  Tom-ahh-to! 
Let's call the whole thing off!

Not to mention is own bank with connections to the Mafia.

I only heard of "Oral Roberts" for the first time today, when somebody posted a link to this utterly cringeworthy video.  Do you mean people have actually given money to this guy?

I wonder, though, did his parents name him "Oral" with the thought that people always grow up behaving the opposite to their given names?  ("Hope" is a pessimist, "Faith" is a betrayer and don't get me started on "Chastity" ;) )

Nope, his parents named him Granville Oral Roberts.  Oral is a better name for a loudmouth preacher than Granville!

He said he needed $8 million by the March of 1987 or the Lord was going to call him home.  He later explained to Larry King that he just meant it would indicate his life's work was finished and it was time for him to retire.  He didn't mean to imply God was going to send a lightning bolt to fry him or anything!

Listen to the sections from 3:30-3:51, 4:37-4:51 and 6:29-6:58. Oral Roberts is perhaps the most passionate and intense gay man on the planet. He's not preaching that gay sex is bad because it's against the Bible, he's saying that gay sex is better than straight sex.

"...homosexuality, it's not only wild, it is INSANE! and the heat becomes so intense, the sexual heat becomes so intense... the male organ doesn't want the vagina of the woman, but to turn that person over and to enter into the rear..."

A statement like that only comes from personal experience, methinks...

He certainly seems fascinated and very knowledgeable about all things "anal"... perhaps his parents were hoping for a statistician or CPA with the name...

*wipes the beer off the keyboard*

That's the best laugh I've had in ages.  And yeah, you hit the nail right on the head.  A straight dude would stick with the truth:  "Haven't a clue what they see in dudes.  I haven't a clue what women see in us either!" 

Ever noticed that when a preacher starts to rail against pornography, and especially if he's showing pictures to illustrate "just how bad it's gotten", he, along with some of the guys in his audience, don't just just disapprove... they look like they're actually sick to their stomachs.  Let's get real here.  How many straight dudes really find naked chicks physically revolting, as opposed to merely impolite?

They're probably in pain from the straining against overtight trousers...

My guess is he's up half the night dreaming about it...

Oral, Oral Roberts!  Scourge of the wild and queer!

(no prizes for guessing the tune.. wonder if it's worth finishing?)

Anyway,

I have a different perspective on the anti-porno guys.  What was the college hijinks flick where the dean declares indignantly,
"I sat through every frame of this filthy movie...twice!"

It's something more like that.

One time Jerry Fartwell (R.I.P.) was on a tear about some gay pornography:
"There were sixteen scenes of penile-anal penetration...."
Who's counting, Jerry, and didn't you get the point after the first three?
:P

Catherine MacKinnon, the Carrie Nation of porn, always used to reassure the audience that she'd seen lots and lots of pornography of all kinds.  Tough research, eh Cath?

Then there was some lady from the Family Research Council or some sh*t who went on Bill O'Reilly with her laptop and announced, "It would take me less than five minutes to find dozens of hardcore child pornography sites!"
Sounds like a boast to me!  Now, who's gonna be the one to say, "Oh no, it takes waaaay more time to find CP on the 'net!"
:D
