Big thanks to Fat Arse for this breaking news.
Television evangelist Oral Roberts — who once said God would "call him home" if he failed to meet a fundraising goal — has died after suffering a weekend fall. He was 91.
Being 900ft Jesus, I thought it only fitting that I should do an obit for the old huckster.
Oral Roberts made lots and lots of money bullshitting about his imaginary conversations with his imaginary god. In 1987, he held a fundraising drive for his television ministry whining that unless he could raise $8 million, God would "call him home." I thought that is the goal of christians) He ended up raising more than $9 million during that one drive, proving that fundamentalists are indeed devoid of any intelligence.
In 1977, he claimed to have had a vision of a 900ft Jesus (!) who told him to scam more people and build a hospital proving that he was quite insane because who in their right mind would ever listen to a 900ft Jesus?
In 1987, he also claimed that God raised the dead through his ministry. Funny thing, though, he never did raise his two children who died long before him.
He was just that kind of man, though. Unselfish.
I’m sure his evangelist son will continue his good scams.

... and another hypocritical, primitive-minded self-righteous clown bites the dust.
Alas - too many others left to go ...
yeah, fundamentalists - religious and political.
So, Boss, do you have a theme for tomorrow's tunes?
Still mulling things over ... ;-)
