"Priest gets probation for jogging nude at track"
"Priest facing abuse counts sues family. Parents, kids named in action"
"Former Priest Accused Of More Molestation"
In 1986, televangelist Oral Roberts announced to his television audience that unless he raised $8 million by that March, God would "call him home". He raised $9.1 million. Later that year, he announced that God had raised the dead through his ministry.
In 1986, evangelist Jimmy Swaggart's indiscretions with a prostitute were discovered. Swaggart was subsequently forced to step down from his pulpit and made a tearful televised apology in February 1988 to his congregation, saying "I have sinned against you, my Lord, and I would ask that your precious blood would wash and cleanse every stain until it is in the seas of God's forgiveness." Swaggart was caught again by California police five years later in 1991 with another prostitute when he was stopped for driving on the wrong side of the road. When asked why she was with Swaggart, she replied, "He asked me for sex. I mean, that's why he stopped me. That's what I do. I'm a prostitute."
On September 20, 2008, FBI agents raided Tony Alamo Christian Ministries headquarters as part of a child pornography investigation. This investigation involved allegations of physical abuse, sexual abuse and allegations of polygamy and underage marriage.
We are expected to accept that turning water into wine, raising the dead, and walking on water were factual events... but the same entity that can make these things possible would allow these scum-bags to be "His" representatives.
Does anyone else think that this doesn't make a whole helluva lot of sense?
