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" (a euphemism for death).[12][13] Some were fearful that he was referring to suicide given the passionate pleas and tears that accompanied his statement. He raised $9.1 million.[14][Source: Wikipedia]
Arlo Guthrie responded: "I firmly believe we shouldn't negotiate with any terrorist on any level."
Good riddance to bad rubbish. If only there was a Hell in which con-men and charlatans like Roberts could suffer for preying on the weak-minded, desperate, and gullible.
I used to think *I* was cynical. If he actually believed in hell, he wouldn't have fleeced so damned many people.
