Good riddance.
Arguing with Christians is like playing chess with a pigeon.  No matter how good I am at chess, the pigeon is just going to knock over the pieces, shit on the board and strut around like it's victorious.

The truth is slow, but relentless. Over time it becomes irresistible.

That's not very nice. On any level.

Pardon me. I wasn't even trying to bring religion into the discussion. I just don't think it's nice to talk about the dead like that. I'm sure somebody genuinely loved him.

Actually, it was the City of Faith Medical Center.  I visited the now defunct property when I was in Tulsa last year.

In 1977, Roberts said he had a vision of a 900-foot-tall Jesus, who told him to found the City of Faith Medical and Research Center. The biography said the center was aimed at "merging the healing power of medicine and prayer."

In 1986, Roberts announced that God would "call him home" unless he raised $8 million to send medical missionaries from the center -- an announcement that was widely publicized. He wound up raising $9.1 million, but the center closed in 1989. However, the biography said, it left "a lasting impact on the understanding by many medical professionals of the importance of treating the whole person -- body, mind and spirit."

Looks like the 900 foot tall Jeebus told ole' Oral a lie as that medical center he was told to build went completely bankrupt in short order.  :rotfl:

I am sorry to hear of his demise but that sure doesn't change my idea of what kind of person he was while alive.  I will have to say one thing good he did for my mom was to make her realize she was just pissing money away by sending to the television evangelists.   She never sent another dime to any of them after his little fund raising deal.

Elmer Gantry in the flesh.

But even Elmer never claimed to have raised the dead.

Only Oral and Jesus Christ made that statement.
Ignorance and fanaticism are ravenous. They require constant feeding.

No worries.  Oral is gone, but his son, Anal, is there to spew the same garbage as dear ol' dad.  Oral could "see em coming", Anal has got em going.  :biggrin2:
