A Pensacola evangelist was arrested Thursday and indicted in federal court on 58 charges that include income tax evasion, making threats against investigators and filing false complaints against Internal Revenue Service agents.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Miles Davis handed down the indictment against Kent Hovind, who operated a creationist theme park Dinosaur Adventure Land, off Old Palafox Road.
Hovind’s wife, Jo Hovind, was also indicted on 44 of the counts and appeared in court alongside her husband.
Arraignment for the Hovinds is scheduled for2 p.m. Monday. The couple was released pending their trial but are not allowed to travel outside the Northern District of Florida.
I am truly sorry if this turns out to be satire. It’s just big news ones very much related to this forum. This is also not to be confused with the same thing a couple years earlier; although I’m sure that those same things will be very much involved with the current charges.
Hitler burned people like Anne Frank for being Jewish. For that, we call him evil. God burns Anne Frank for being Jewish, forever. For that, theists call him "good"
Excuse me for a moment while I laugh and cavort with a few gods and religions of note, to delight in this. Have fun with your creationist vegetarian T-Rex dinosaur pank now, Mister Hovind.
Praise Valen! For he has guided us through our hour of need.

On a more serious note, is there no provision in the Bible for tax evation? Can we get biblical on him and arrange a stoning?

If he can, but does not want to, he is wicked. ... If, as they say, God can abolish evil, and God really wants to do it, why is there evil in the world?" -Epicurus

Render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s.
Which is what the IRS attorney actually quoted against him in one of the earlier court hearings sometime.

Why is it so goddamned hard to get little assholes like you to admit it when you fuck up? Is it pride? What gives you the right to have any pride?

Is this for real? Well, I suppose he'll get to mope about how he's persecuted while he stands behind the bars trying not to look sexy.
Now I have actually watched some of the videos he made (werg) and I do seem to recall the audiences lapping up the bullshit he would spew. I wonder what they're thinking now? Are they going to be protesting in the streets for his release, or silently moping to themselves that they've been led all this way by a con? Naturally, it goes without saying that a con's greatest asset is to gain the trust of his victim.
