We all know by now that prison time is almost inevitable for anyone with a passion for God and His truths.

And why is it that so many "Christians" turn out to be criminals, hmmmmm?
Christians are so persecuted that they're being driven into prisons in droves. All of us non-Christians have locked up all the important political and public service positions and are using our power to jail Christians. Soon we'll have 85% of the country's population imprisoned. Yeah, that's the ticket.
I've been contemplating this along with the one about the girl who wants to die in Jesus' name somewhere, and a few others. As far as I can pick out a train of thought it seems to go:
People who are POWERFUL and WRONG, historically, do bad things to those who are POWERLESS and RIGHT.
Therefore, either:
Given that the government is POWERFUL. If the government does something to ME (I believe myself POWERLESS and RIGHT) then that makes the government WRONG (example: censorship).
Or:
Given that I am POWERLESS. If something were to be done to me by someone I believe to be POWERFUL and WRONG, then that makes me automatically RIGHT.
Thoughts?
Well, yes... if, by "a passion for God and his truths," you mean "a tendency to break the law and get caught."
It wouldn't be more accurate to say, "We all know by now that prison time is almost inevitable for anyone with a passion for money, sex, drugs, self-aggrandisement, and a little time on Sunday for god."

P.S. I couldn't edit my post! What's up with that?
Robert Greer Ingersoll had this to say, and he died in 1899:
“If a man would follow, today, the teachings of the Old Testament, he would be a criminal. If he would follow strictly the teachings of the New, he would be insane.”
Ironically, if Kent Hovind had rendered unto Ceaser (i.e. paid his taxes), like Jesus said he should, then he would not be in prison. Instead, he clung to the material wealth of this world, which is exactly what Jesus told his followers not to do.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
