TULSA, Okla. - Twenty years ago, televangelist Oral Roberts said he was reading a spy novel when God appeared to him and told him to raise $8 million for Roberts' university, or else he would be "called home."

Now, his son, Oral Roberts University President Richard Roberts, says God is speaking again, telling him to deny lurid allegations in a lawsuit that threatens to engulf this 44-year-old Bible Belt college in scandal.

Richard Roberts is accused of illegal involvement in a local political campaign and lavish spending at donors' expense, including numerous home remodeling projects, use of the university jet for his daughter's senior trip to the Bahamas, and a red Mercedes convertible and a Lexus SUV for his wife, Lindsay.

I just can't take a man who goes by the name "Oral" seriously. Especially not when he names his son Dick.

I already have issues with evangelicals. Then you add "rich" to the mix you have other issues. THEN you combine them and add the fact that the money is just given to them in the name of "religion". That's just a situation rife for abuse. It's "entitlement" taken to the extreme.

BWAAAA HAAA HAAA HAAA HAAAA!!!!!

I never even thought of that!

Ever see the show "Moral Oral?" The main character is a namesake for Roberts. I always found ti funny, though.

No surprise here about the issues. people are people, and they will be greedy, regardless of their religion. It reminds me of the Ken Hovind affair a while back.
