A lawsuit accuses Roberts of lavish spending at a time when the university faced more than $50 million in debt, including taking shopping sprees, buying a stable of horses and paying for a daughter to travel to the Bahamas aboard the university jet.
Roberts said he wanted to "strike out" against the people who were persecuting him, and considered countersuing, but "the Lord said, 'don't do that,'" he said.
Roberts has previously said that God told him to deny the allegations. The week the lawsuit was filed, Richard Roberts said that God told him: "We live in a litigious society. Anyone can get mad and file a lawsuit against another person whether they have a legitimate case or not. This lawsuit ... is about intimidation, blackmail and extortion."
On Wednesday, Roberts said God told him he would "do something supernatural for the university," if he stepped down from the job he held at the 5,700-student school since 1993.
After submitting his resignation, he said, for "first time in 60 days peace came into my heart."
Roberts spoke only for a few minutes and was applauded and cheered by students. He wiped away tears with a white handkerchief and his hands.

Don't know how true the allegations are, but it looks like Roberts got caught with both hands in the cookie jar and cookie crumbs all over his face....

But what about the Tooth Fairy? Santa? What did they think? Because you know, God really just yammers at all of us all the time. So we dont have to think even one tiny little bit.

I just listen to the echoes of the Big Bang, it explains everything.
Well. you have to emember that God has spoken to the family before. Some years back, He told Richard's dad, Oral, that he'd better get Eight Milion Dollars, and quick, or suffer the consequences. Not a "lot of money", mind you, but exactly Eight Million Dollars, in US Funds.
Nothing in writing, you understand---it was just an "Oral" Agreement...
