I don't remember hearing about that.

Yep.

Back in the early days of tent revivals and other charlatan escapades.

I think some of that early footage still exists if anyone still cares to look it up.

The controversy produced by those episodes, however, has been overshadowed by Roberts' latest extraordinary claim: God has used him to raise the dead. Before an audience of 6,000 at Oral Roberts University, the evangelist said, "I've had to stop a sermon, go back and raise a dead person," adding good-naturedly, "It did improve my altar call that night." Roberts provided no details. Later his son Richard, 38, expanded the revivification claim, asserting that in 50 or 60 cases Oral and other ministers had raised the dead.

For some reason even as a kid I viewed that tent stuff as fake and never really paid any attention to it.

The REALLY sad thing about this, is that there are thousands of empty-headed maroons who actually believe this and continue/continue to send money. :rant: :bs: :det:

ROTFLMAO!!!  I just found this where Oral Roberts is talking about sex.  The video has been embellished, however the sermon is Roberts and it is available in multiple locations on the Internet.

Sure seems like Oral never got any oral 'cause it's a sin to put the male organ in a mouth.  ;D ;D ;D ;D

This is some funny shit if you have time to listen.

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.

Heck, Roy dead, monorails breaking down, casino cruise ships going out of business, the Red Neck Monte Carlo of Central Florida (the beaches of Panama City, FL are known as the Red Neck Riviera, for obvious (AL, GA clientele) reasons; the casino cruise business at Port Canaveral adds a Monte Carlo feel  :biggrin:) will lose all its business to Branson.  Where else will all those "amazed at a mouse" folks take their chillin?  Might as well stay in Ohio.
