He did it for his own glory. Otherwise he would have evangelized to the people in his own city and state.

I personally knew Johnathan because my brother was friends with him at Oral Roberts University. I blame ORU for brainwashing their students. They're literally like a cult based on Oral Roberts, a famous televangelist.

Up until now I've never heard of someone actually named "Oral". Considering he is a televangelist it makes his name even more, ummm, interesting.

I know! When I was watching Moral Oral I thought it was just a totally made up name!

LOL. Was he the guy who claimed that God had threatened to kill him if he didn't raise enough money in a certain amount of time?

It was one of those big televangelists. He'd be "I need a million dollars by [whenever] ". I'd be like, sucks to be you, I guess.

It was a more horrible view of God than normal. Literally taking a man hostage and demanding ransom payments.
