Richard Roberts told students at Oral Roberts University on Wednesday that he did not want to resign as president of the scandal-plagued evangelical school, but he did so because God insisted.
God told him on Thanksgiving that he should resign the next day, Roberts told students in the university’s chapel…
A lawsuit accuses Roberts of lavish spending at a time when the university faced more than $50 million in debt, including taking shopping sprees, buying a stable of horses and paying for a daughter to travel to the Bahamas aboard the university jet.
Roberts has previously said God told him to deny the allegations…
You have to give credit where credit is due.
Evangelicalism isn’t a religion. It’s a confidence scheme. Sort of like the olde Medicine Shows were, before the patent medicine act outlawed them. Only these guys peddle miracle of faith, for a price. “A man is judged by his deeds, not by his words.” Obviously Roberts, says one thing and does another when he doesn’t think anyone is looking. His University is apparently just another money making scheme, that’s overpriced and underquality. I had the same experience with a “religious” middle school my parents got talked into sending me to. I was more moral than the school principal/pastor’s children. And I lost a year of higher math, because they didn’t think it necessary to teach it. I had to make it up in summer school. Which turned out to be the best learning experience of my life! So screw those socalled religion based schools and colleges. They’re coasting by on very thin curriculums. And pocketing the tuitions at the top.
Looks like God’s finally giving the Roberts’ good advice!
#32,
Or the Roberts are finally listening.
