So for those of you who don't live in Pcola, and those who do and don't read the News Journal, this evagelist that my family knows (and doesn't support, and never have) is going to prison for breaking the law. (http://www.pensacolanewsjournal.com/ ( Read more... )

holy crap! there are so many things wrong with this picture. since when does doing "the work of God" except you from the tax? i seem to remember MORE than a few references to this subject in the bible, and i seem to remember them saying that no matter who you are, Jesus Himself included for crying out loud, you must obey the law of your land. i could go on. what a stupid thing to go to jail for. did he think that God would bail him outta this? pun intended. and, speaking of jail, if anyone i know was to go to prison, it would be you, ya little delinquent. say hi to dr. dino for me.

Maybe he meant "prison" as a metaphor for law school.

Thanks for sharing this article. I was out of the Pensacola loop apparently. Didn't Dr. Dino speak at chapel at some point? I had no idea he believed that "I don't have to pay taxes" malarkey.

From Wikipedia:
Hovind has several conspiracy theories about the US government. For example, he believes that Laetrile works and teaches that the US government is conspiring to suppress a cure for cancer. On his radio program that he claims the US government was behind the 9/11 attacks and that a "lot of folks were told not to come to work." He attributes this belief to the films 911 In Plane Site and "Loose Change." He also believes the "Oklahoma City bombing was done on purpose. Did you know the Federal Government blew up their own building to blame it on the militias and to get rid of some people that weren't cooperating with the system?" He also alleges that "UFOs are apparitions of Satan" and that the US government possesses UFOs.
Now I see why you're friends with him ( ... )

Dave beat me to it.

i'll admit, that if i'm gonna go to prison, it's gonna be some Republican white collar crime that'll put me in federal system, rather than psycho state prison.

Rob Newhouse: Conjugal visits? Mmmm. Not that I know of. Y'know, minimum-security prison is no picnic. I have a client in there right now. He says the trick is: kick someone's ass the first day, or become someone's bitch. Then everything will be all right. W-Why do you ask, anyway?
