It's hard for me to believe Oral Roberts and his son

Televangelists love to talk about how "God spoke to me about this" or "God told me to do that." Frankly, I find it really hard to believe them, even though I firmly believe that God guides us and speaks to us.

In 1987, Oral Roberts said that God told him to raise $8 million for his university, or else he would be "called home."

Now his son, Richard Roberts, president and chief executive officer of Oral Roberts University, has had a lawsuit filed against him and the school for alleged improprieties.

Richard Roberts said that God spoke to him and told him to say that the suit was about "blackmail and extortion." Puh-leeze.
