For some reason, his brother, Rectal, never made much of a splash. He served time in prison and was the black sheep of the family. Their older sister, Vaginal, died many years ago from a raging yeast infection.

"...In 1977 Roberts claimed to have had a vision from a 900-foot-tall Jesus who told him to build City of Faith Medical and Research Center and the hospital would be a success..." -- wikipedia

Assuming Jesus is proportioned much as he was in life, the top of his big toe would be more than twelve feet off of the ground.
The Flying Spaghetti Monster, on the other hand, NEVER makes a big showy display of his powers, and often appears in the form of a humble noodle dish, and always appeals to REASON, not FEAR.

Good, another snake oil salesman gone to feed the worms. Now if only Pat Robertson and his ilk could follow suit.

It has started.
Jehovah is finally taking a baby step to "clean up the earth."
Is Blasphemy really something to brag about?
quote from the article:
He maintained that God worked in a miraculous way through his hands, and the peak of every service came when he seated himself like a prince on an elevated stage and worshipers gathered in a prayer line. One by one they paused before Mr. Roberts, spellbound, as his right hand gripped their bodies and he prayed for healing.

91, way past the time to go! We should hope we don't live as long!

I've heard tell that he had a cousin who was able to write sermons that would make your head spin. They were far better than Oral Roberts' best work, far, far better!
The poor man had an affliction, however, that made it impossible for audiences to bear listening to him, so he never became as well known.
Yes, I'm testifying about Nasal "Booger" Roberts.
