		<description>Tee-hee! I checked in specifically to see if this was posted. So how many is that now? Is there enough to finally send that corrupt Evengelical deck of cards into production?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ahh... exposing corrupt, hypocritical religionists is what the weekends are all about. Remind me to fill that out on my Classmates questionnaire.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Schadenfreude isn&#039;t a very fulfilling emotion.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I disagree, Schadenfreude is the most deliciously satisfying substance in the universe second only to revenge.  Come on, AC, embrace your darker human nature.    &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;Why is it good news when Christians act badly?&lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Becasue it exposes them for what they really are: world class charlatans and hypocrites.  The more scandal the less people who respect religion and religious figures.  &lt;br /&gt;

		<description>Oh you silly atheists...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now I get to play the Christian troll for just this once...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Oral Roberts is not a true Christian and therefore is easily dismissed. He is false prophet and part of the &quot;prosperity Gospel&quot; movement. Oral Roberts certainly does not represent &quot;orthodox&quot; Christianity.&lt;br /&gt;
2. Christians are not perfect, just forgiven. Jesus died for our sins so we are home free.&lt;br /&gt;
3. Read your Scripture. Jesus says that there will be false prophets in the end times: &quot;beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world.&quot; 1Jn 4:1&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And Roberts claims he was visited by a 900 ft Jesus which is creepier than those late &#039;70&#039;s Godzilla and Ultraman Japanese TV shows....&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Oral Roberts Vision Of The 900 Foot Jesus&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many Bible believing Christians have been skeptical about the visions Roberts claims to receive when he needs money and the fact that he says God talks directly to him. Orthodox Christians maintain that God speaks to man today only through His Word, Holy Scripture.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;The partner letter which triggered the most resounding outburst of public ridicule and criticism [to that time] was a September 1980 description of Oral&#039;s vision of a 900-foot-tall Jesus. Roberts reported that late on the afternoon of May 25, he stood looking at the unfinished skeleton of the City of Faith, distraught over his financial difficulties, when `suddenly an unusual feeling swept over me&#039;:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;`I felt an overwhelming holy presence all around me. When I opened my eyes, there He stood ... some 900 feet tall, looking at me ... He stood a full 300 feet taller than the 600-foot-tall City of Faith. There I was face to face with Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God. I have only seen Jesus once before, but here I was face to face with the King of kings. He reached down, put his Hands under the City of Faith, lifted it, and said to me, &quot;See how easy it is for Me to lift it!&quot;&#039;&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;Oral recalled that his eyes filled with tears, and Jesus assured him that He would speak to the ministry&#039;s partners and that the City of Faith would be finished.&quot; (p. 415)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
LOL, LOL, LOL...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Like all mortals, I am prone to bouts of Schadenfreude from time to time. Particularly as Alex Rodriguez continues to go hitless in the playoffs, and with the Yankees on the verge of another post-season exit. I love it.</description>
