Oral Roberts, 1918-2009

Despite the unfortunate name his parents bestowed on him, Mr. Roberts was able to rise above that handicap and do some decent things. I hope we can keep the "Yay, he's dead!" stuff to a minimum.

He invented a delightful variation on sex.

It's called Robertsing and it involves a cross of gold.

In 91+ years one hopes he managed to do some decent things. So he held doors and said "Bless you" even when nobody sneezed. But he was also either a liar or a big dumb idiot, and also intolerant, which was of undeniable (even to him) consequence when his probably-gay son killed himself back in the 80s.

What are you talking about? He was a terrible man whose death can sadly not erase the damage he spent his life doing.

I'm assuming having a dead founder gives slightly more legitimacy to his University?
