Good Methodist IIRC.

Billy Graham always struck me as an “Ends justifies the means” kinda evangelist. He tries hard not to alienate anyone

[Dem Guard]

While Billy could get pretty fiery himself, he appeared to be a friendlier person than Oral Roberts. As a kid it wasn't hard to imagine a couple devil horns on Oral which seems pretty funny to me now all these years later.

from wikipedia entry on him:

>>In 1977 Roberts claimed to have had a vision from a 900-foot-tall Jesus who told him to build City of Faith Medical and Research Center and the hospital would be a success.

Thus inspiring the name of musical act MC 900 Foot Jesus

>>Roberts’ fundraising has been controversial. In January 1987, during a fundraising drive, Roberts announced to a television audience that unless he raised $8 million by that March, God would “call him home”. Some were fearful that he was referring to suicide given the passionate pleas and tears that accompanied his statement. He raised $9.1 million.

He warned us that if we didn't pony up the dough, God would kill him.

Looks like our contributions weren't enough to maintain the Oral stimulation.

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

The Clintons are “a great couple,” he said. “I told an audience that I felt when he left the presidency he should be an evangelist because he has all the gifts and he’d leave his wife to run the country.”
