God Told Roberts To Quit University

December 5, 2007 | ISSUE 43•49

Amidst charges of mishandling resources, Richard Roberts resigned from his post as president of the debt-saddled Oral Roberts University, saying God told him to step down. What do you think?

Well now I'm confused, because over Thanksgiving God told me Roberts is full of shit.

This would be a commendable move if God hadn't been seen driving around in that brand new Maserati.

Looks like Roberts is applying the Christian ideal of apologizing and walking away once the shit has hit the fan.
