I notice that;
Hopefully, he will do some time in a real prison, and understand real sorrow and grief. Unless, of course, he would enjoy being gang-raped anally, in which case, never mind.

Unfortunately, due to his status as a religious figure, I don't think Kent will learn his lesson. Most of the guys he's around won't dare to harm him, and in seven (or less) years, he'll be back, doing what he was doing beforehand. Except that maybe he'll learn better ways to avoid paying taxes.
Well, Jesus, before going through all that ordeal, preached love and render to Caesar.......we all know. This guy had a very lucrative business, similar to the ones in the temple at which Christ roared. More reasons, or are you going to declare him God?
There are not eighteen reasons why God allowed Hovind to go to jail. There is exactly one reason why God allowed Hovind to go to jail. God, the imaginary being, did not know or care that Hovind was going to jail.
God had absolutely fuck-all to do with sending you to jail, asshole.

#18a To make me more like Jesus, the man who got nailed to ummmm, by wood...
Gee Kent, you know I've actually read the Bible, and Jesus was never sorrowful or grief stricken about himself. He tended to be a pretty happy guy, actually, and only felt bad for other people. selfishness. and Jesus was notorious for not having any of that.
Unlike Kent Hovind, Jesus supported the paying of taxes.13 And they send unto him [Jesus] certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, to catch him in his words. 14 And when they were come, they say unto him, Master, we know that thou art true, and carest for no man: for thou regardest not the person of men, but teachest the way of God in truth: Is it lawful to give tribute [i.e., pay taxes] to Caesar, or not? 15 Shall we give, or shall we not give? But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said unto them, Why tempt ye me? bring me a penny, that I may see it. 16 And they brought it. And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? And they said unto him, Caesar's. 17 And Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's. And they marvelled at him.
Hmmmmm... I will hug POW’s from now on.
#16. To allow me to experience the joy of holding hands in a prayer circle with nine men on fire for Jesus while facing severe sentences.
...and now for the sing-along...
Kent Hovind, prisoner [to the tune of Jesus Christ Superstar ]
I don't know how to love him by Mr Magdelene.
Jesus believed in paying taxes, it's in your Bible Kent. Kents argument is that America never locked it down in law (well, it's not HIS argument, he borrowed it from another nut) It IS LAW, you must be registered, report your income and pay taxes. Just like Biblical days.
It's pretty bad when one of their leading voices in Creationism is revealed to be a man who doesn't understand a lot of things most people do. He's easily the dumbest person I've seen who's still articulate.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
