Oh this news does my heathen heart some much needed good.

“If it’s just money the IRS wants, there are thousands of people out there who will help pay the money they want so I can go back out there and preach,” Hovind said.

Poor bastard; he just doesn’t get it, does he?
Ah well, at least in gaol he’ll have a captive audience.   
Sorry. 

can’t wait to see prison break season 3 where micheal scofield and his gang try to extract howind from prison for religious beliefs. boy, wouldn’t that be fun?!

BWA-HAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!

(straightens tie, composes self)  Sorry there, I just couldn’t resist.

The amount of restitution that was ordered to the IRS is not the full amount that he owed the IRS.  Will he be able to spew his crap from his cushy prison?

Blessed be the Goat.
The Goat is the Alpha and the Omega.

All hail the Goat, for He is the wellspring of all knowledge.

Hey, I could make a living doing this.

“If it’s just money the IRS wants, there are thousands of people out there who will help pay the money they want so I can go back out there and preach,”

Why not pay the IRS directly? Oh, wait, it’s that secular protection racket.

There was no religious persecution in his case - prison is where God wanted Hovind.  It’s time for him to do some prison ministry.

prison is where God wanted Hovind

Good point.

God must really love Hovind, why else would he be tested so sorely?

Actually, the “funny” comments were pretty depressing.  Tribalism, pure and simple.  Pat Robertson could rape kindergarteners and eat live kittens for the SuperBowl halftime show, and these gits would find a way to defend him and his “Christianity”.  And I don’t think I’m exaggerating by much there.  My husband likes to say, “Ignorance can be cured; stupidity is forever.“

RE: cubiclegrrl

Aint that the truth. Wolves hunt in packs is the lesson of the day.
Its to bad that their “FLOCK” is so brainwashed that most will “FORGIVE” him for stealing from the US taxpayers.

I wonder if he’ll try to get a webcam in his cell or something, or write a book maybe. Shows something of hypocrasy on his part but only those who want to see that will.

Anyway always seems strange to mee how financial crime is treated very much more seriously than murder, rape, etc. I suppose from the government’s perspective there are 2 things that affect getting what they want - public support and money, and they know how far they can tilt the balance between life and cash so that they still hold onto enough support to remain in power

I must confess that this news puts a smile on my lips and joy in my heart.

I like that one.

When any one complains just point out it is God’s will and part of his in-effiable plan.  Like the deaths of children in natural disasters.

“If it’s just money the IRS wants, there are thousands of people out there who will help pay the money they want so I can go back out there and preach,” Hovind said.

As LuckyJohn noted, Hovind just doesn’t get it. He not only doesn’t want to serve time for his crimes, he wants others to pay for it! And you know it will be the same sap that have been sending him money already.

It seems to me often people who are particularly wealthy depend exploiting the general public for what they can get. Taking from the poor to give to the rich, a kind of anti-robin hood, seems the least moral way. Commercially there seems little choice but to pay high amounts when oligopolys control market prices.

Anti-Robin hood has been the way of things throughout human history.  Very rarely do those with any form of power do anything truly altruistic.  The fact that Hovind is attempting to overtly take advantage of that should come as no surprise, especially since religion is without exception the prime perpetrator of “take from the poor and give to the rich (in this case the church doing the taking).“

The rock of his walls and the iron of his bars was only 6000 years in the making. How hard can it be for him to break out?

Better make sure someone doesn’t smuggle him some of Pat Robertson’s miracle drink.

OK Frac, that made me laugh out loud. Literally.

Les: Would it be considered in poor taste to gloat a little over this? Maybe, but that won’t stop me.

This was announced at the Amazing Meeting, and let me tell you that there was more than a little applause.

In addition, these stories got their fair share of gloating from the TAM attendees:

Item 1: Uri Geller is a fake

A hit Israeli TV show starring celebrity spoon-bender Uri Geller has come under fire from magicians for being full of “tricks and stunts”.
The self-proclaimed paranormalist is looking for others with his “powers” on Uri Geller Looks for a Successor.

Item 2: Sylvia Browne is also a fake

Montel Williams’ psychic pal Sylvia Browne told the family of missing Shawn Hornbeck he was dead shortly after the Missouri boy vanished - and later allegedly offered to help locate his body for $700 per half hour.
The popular TV clairvoyant appeared on the “Montel Williams Show” in February 2003, four months after Shawn disappeared, and told Pam and Craig Akers she believed their son was “no longer with us.“

She also advised that his body could be found in a wooded area 20 miles from their Richwoods, Mo., home, near two large jagged boulders.

Shawn, now 15, was found alive and well last Friday, living just miles away with a man now charged with snatching the boy when he was 11.

I must confess that this news puts a smile on my lips and joy in my heart.

Proof that evolutionary altruism is hard-wired, or not.

Seefa: Proof that evolutionary altruism is hard-wired, or not.

Not. 

The bible says “Every knee will bow every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord”. All those who have left comments such as these above will one day be kneeling before God Almighty and confess that He really was the maker of heaven and earth.  Praise be to God He is my Lord!!!!

Like we’ve never heard that line of bullshit before…
