God recently called Brother Oral Roberts home, this time seemingly free of charge. No attempts to fund-raise his way out of heaven were involved; the 91-year-old faith healer and televangelist went without asking for contributions.

The colorful Roberts will be missed, if only for his ability to make us smile. Claims of raising the dead, the aforementioned incident in which he told donors God would call him home if he didn’t collect $8 million, visions inspired by 900-foot Jesus, and repeated rumors of mishandling money have kept us snickering for years.

His legacy will live on in the form of Oral Roberts University, an institution the holy man founded in his native Tulsa that his biographer, David Harrell Jr., said allowed Roberts to “flirt” with respectability. Roberts is also survived by two of his four children and fellow faith healer, Benny Hinn.

Get up and walk, heathen!
