[about Kent Hovind]
and the only reason because he doesn't like to pay taxes is because the taxes support evolution. (I recommed everybody watching his video "what is in the text books") The main problem is that evolution is being printed in the science books when it is not science at all! IT IS A RELIGION!!!

Even if that were true, it doesn't make it right legally or morally. If all tax evaders took the same stance, should we let them get by with it? I assume you're answer would be 'no' and that leads me to believe you just have a hard-on for Kent.
How? No one ever explains that. A religion is not just something someone believes (not that evolution requires belief of course.) Quoted from Apple dictionary:
"Religion, noun, the belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, esp. a personal God or gods."
I fail to see how evolution implies that.
I know that the Federal government spends millions for education, but it's a function mostly of local and state governments.
1 a: the state of a religious <a nun in her 20th year of religion> b (1): the service and worship of God or the supernatural (2): commitment or devotion to religious faith or observance
So these people will accuse atheists, homosexuals and Muslims of all being immoral criminals for no reason, yet when one of their fellow fundamentalists commits an actual crime, they hand them a 'get out of jail' free card? Pfft.
That's nice. Not many people actually "like" paying taxes. It is, however, our civil duty. Hovind thinks that his imaginary friend somehow makes him exempt from the law. Sadly, not even his current situation will change his mind.
Kent Hovind thinks that you can avoid taxes if you disagree with just ONE of the many things that those taxes are used to fund? Well, I don't agree with the death penalty, and since federal money is sometimes given to fund Texas, and Texas will use those to make up for the money that is uses to execute criminals, I therefore object to having to pay taxes. Does that make me a hero? I think so...

Well, gee ... I pay $500 a month in school taxes, and I don't have any kids in school. Do I get to skip paying taxes, too? Besides, how do Federal income taxes support evolution? Plus, a lot of his problem stems from not paying Social Security taxes for his employees. What the hell does that have to do with evolution? His employees were working at his own damn amusement park.
He broke the law. If he doesn't agree with the law, he gets the same vote as the rest of us to change the law. Welcome to democracy.

No, you're confusing evolution with intelligent design.
Well Jesus told Kent to pay his fucking taxes. It's in the damn Bible. He said "Render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s" not "Render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s if you agree with everything the school system teaches." So I guess Hovind should take his punishment for disobeying Jesus and all you whiners need to STFU and stop acting like he's being persecuted. Remember - "As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent."
"The main problem is that evolution is being printed in the science books when it is not science at all! IT IS A RELIGION!!!"
Evolution just happens, and has been happening for several billion years. You don't have to pay for it. But if you get through high school without knowing anything scientific, you will most definitely pay for that ignorance for the rest of your life.
Confused?
