Roberts says God forced his resignation

TULSA, Okla. - Richard Roberts told students at Oral Roberts University Wednesday that he did not want to resign as president of the scandal-plagued evangelical school, but he did so because God insisted.

I'm having second thoughts about 'God'.

He may not be so stupid after all.

1. God had to insist?

What, when God just asked nicely, Roberts refused? So God had to get persistent? What kind of obedient servant makes the Almighty ask twice?

14. God insisted only after making Ten Suggestions.

:evilgrin:

2. Also if we don't send him $20 million, God's going to kill him.

The check is in the mail, Dick.

3. I'm glad that Roberts has started actually listening to God

Now if only Pat Robertson would quit ignoring the Almighty and donate all his ill-gotten gains to the poor.

4. His resignation wouldn't, of course ...

... have anything to do with the investigations into his lavish lifestyle funded by tax-exempt dollars contributed to the school, nor those pesky questions that keep popping up about his wife's 'relationships' with under-aged students.

Nah.

It's just THE LORD, working - as he has a wont to do - in mysterious ways.



Jesus wept.

5. RATS!

I thought this was gonna be breaking news about the Chief Injustice of the Supreme Court

[Deja Q]

6. And now Richard wants us to send him money so that God will forgive him.

:crazy:

7. damn I was hoping it was CJ Scary Roberts

[Disturbed]

8. How many people actually believe that voice in their head

is God speaking to them?

My guess: Around a Billion

9. Watch for the new TFT video

"The Twelve Debates of Christmas"

Should be out in 2 weeks or so. You'll see! LOL

10. I haven't talked to that peice of phlegm since he was five years old.

I told him he was too young for a hooker.

11. Cue MC 900ft Jesus

Suppose I accidentally got my shit together
Would I get a medal?
Or a pat on the back and a little feather
I could stick in my cap or pin it to my shirt
Go out in the yard and poke it in the dirt
Or leave it in the woods where it couldn't be found
If it fell over, would it make a sound?
And if it did, would it be the sound that you like?
Or should I do it over until I get it right?

You say everything I know is wrong
So do me a favor, and play along for a minute
As the rusty gears turn
Don't be alarmed if you smell something burning upstairs
It's a little BB rolling around in a box car
See us together

Maybe it wouldn't be hard to explain
If I only had a brain

Somewhere on a higher mental plain
I might learn to come in from the rain
If I had a clue would I still be here with you?
Gee whiz, if I only had a brain...

12. maybe he does deserve another look

13. Maybe it's me......

but when I was younger if anyone said god was talking to them , someone would throw a net over them and carry them off to a nice quiet place.
