Oral Roberts, the Christian evangelist whose personal brand includes a university bearing his name, died of complications from pneumonia in Newport Beach. He was 91. Notes Candace L. Chellew: “Oral Roberts himself is famous for many things including his 1980 vision of a 900-foot tall Jesus who promised that his 600-foot-tall City of Faith would be completed. He’s also known for his claim in 1986 that he had to raise $8 million for ORU scholarships for medical students or he would die! Interestingly enough, Roberts, unlike his other conservative Christian evangelist counterparts is not known for his anti-gay rhetoric.”
Oh? Because Queerty will remember Roberts for his frank talk about inserting male organs into women’s vaginas: “Only one organ can bring forth light. It’s the male organ. It’s not in lesbianism where the tongue of a female goes into the vagina of a female. It’s not in the male, where the male organ goes into the part of the body where the waste matter comes out of the body, is poisoned, and he penetrates that part of the body in homosexuality. It’s not to be put in the mouth of the man, or the mouth of the man or the woman. … It is the male organ penetrating the vagina of the woman, the male and the female … he says, ‘Look at the orifices of the body, the openings of the body. Certainly you can’t put the male organ, or the woman’s tongue in the eye. … Certainly not in the orifices of the nose, or the navel.'”

it’s a shame this didn’t happen in 1986.

C’mon Querty. Get creative with your post titles: “ORAL ASSHOLE SUCKED INTO THE GATES OF HELL.”
james_cambridge
Lol @ Brian. You know that Oral, like the rest of his bigoted ilk, is in hell right now getting a pineapple shoved up his ass by Hitler. And not in a good way…
romeo
I think he just suffered a life-long trauma because of his name. His obvious obsession with his dick is pretty typical of his sort.
Oh, well, it could have been worse. I once knew a guy named anil. I’m serious. I can’t remember what country he was from. Everybody called him “anal” at first, as well they might, and then he’d get very patient about correcting them, “ah-neel.” LOL
TommyOC
Of all the people to pick a bone with, Oral Roberts was one of the lesser. He kept his rhetoric to theological reasoning and didn’t engage in an active campaign of hate and rights-denying – something so few of his contemporaries can claim.
So I’ll stick my neck out into this snake den and say the following:
May he rest in peace.
Jack E. Jett
He can suck off Jerry Falwell in hell now.
Good riddance to the scum sucking piece shit………….

Hey Romeo, i think i remember that guy Anil, i think his last name was…..Socks!
OhWell
What a great Christmas gift. How ever will his hate-filled followers make it through the Holidays without him spitting out messages discrimination?

Too funny! Thanks a lot Oral! I just lost my fucking hardon!!!
romeo
I wonder if anybody in the Saks family every named a kid “Oral.”
God, I hope so. LOL
Now what were we talking about?

“I once knew a guy named anil. I’m serious.”
Uh, it’s a fairly common East Indian name.

Anyone into aural sex? I loved that SNL Weekend Update report oh so many years ago and delivered by Jane Curtain. “Researchers say they have created a new nasal contraceptive. They plan to start clinical trials just as soon as they can find someone who practices nasal intercourse.”
romeo
Scott, I once heard a joke about nasal sex, but I won’t repeat it. It’s too dirty even for this filthy rag. LOL
Keith Kimmel
Fucking A, thank god they planted this asshat. Another hater from Oklahoma now being more useful in death than in life. He is now feritilizing some flowers somewhere for a couple of homos to frolic by and pick. There will be more beauty in those flowers growing around his corpse than in all of his life.
Bob R
It’s commonly believed that these notable deaths happen in threes. So now with Roberts gone, perhaps Pat Robertson and Rick Warren may soon join him.

….Nice to see you Mr. Roberts. We’ve been expecting you.

Why didn’t Oral Roberts take Bill O’Reilly and Maggie Gallagher with him?

this just in: conservative evangelical republican said an intolerant & mean thing once.

Oral Roberts was just CREEPY.
I hope he’s getting an earful about how awful his life was from God right about now.
AxelDC
Nasty, bitter old charlatan. He stole from the poor and sold them lies.
Dawson
One less hater in the world, yea. Let him enjoy Hell. After all the hatred he gave to the world. As I have been saying for years, Religion is not about love it is about hate. May he find the same type of compassion in hell that he gave us. Sorry you can’t feel pity for the Hitler of our times, I am happy he is dead.
Bill
I wondered when he would go . . . it was a long career. I knew a man in the 70’s who thought he was wonderful enough to visit Tulsa and watch his program live. He said he was very disillusioned when Roberts refused to heal those who did not contribute money in some capacity. I wasn’t there, so I can’t verify the truth of this, but it makes one wonder. All those evangelists have corrupted something sacred, something not intended by the Divine. Roberts was not the most virulent openly, but that platform is all the same. A false gospel of prosperity pales in contrast with the ministry of Christ to the poor and marginalized. I think Falwell was one of the worst if not the worst of all. “You will know them by their fruits. A bad tree does not yield good fruit.” I don’t really believe in hell, so he probably isn’t there. He may reincarnate as a victim of odium theologicum–religious hatred. What could be worse?
HellIsWaiting
Jerry Falwell, in Hell.
Oral Roberts, in Hell.
Pat Robertson… your name is being called…

“It’s commonly believed that these notable deaths happen in threes. So now with Roberts gone, perhaps Pat Robertson and Rick Warren may soon join him.”
Damn you, I just creamed myself. Don’t get me excited like that!
Thats the second time this has happened today on this subject. I was watching CNN in the waiting room of my doctor’s office chatting on my cell with a friend when this story came on and me, being the in my head out of my mouth type, remarked to the person on the other end (loudly enough for all to hear, of course) “Good riddance. Plant him deep and let him rot, let him push up daises somewhere and beatify the world he defiled in life through his death.” Several people got really offended and I had to end the call to argue homorights with them.

Its funny, I have driven past that university bearing his name on more than one occasion. Anytime I have some family with me, we always wind up reflecting on what irony it is that one of the state’s greatest homohaters got named after a favorite sex act practiced so often by the very homos he so hates.
Sometimes, I am forced to (for a moment, at least) reconsider my position that there is no god.

Dolphins actually do engage in nasal sex (because the blow hole is their nasal cavity and sometimes a male will stick its penis in another dolphins’ blow hole).

By the way, No. 30 · dellisonly, how do you know he was a “bottom”? I thought he was strictly Oral.

Hate to burst everyone’s bubble but I read that his son Anal Roberts is taking over the helm.

Mr. Roberts’ sister told CNN she can’t imagine life without Oral.

Did you ever notice that eventually the “bad guys” just go away? Jesse Helms, Jerry Fartwell…George W. Bush…anyone heard from him lately? Exactly! Merry Christmas to all!

@Jimmyjazz: The unfortunate reality though is that the damage they leave behind usually takes awhile to undo.
