So write that email and tell them to keep up the good work! Maybe Hovind's "museum" can be shut down! good riddance!

Jeez-o-pete!

How many times can ol' Kent say "Lord" and "Jesus Christ" in one statement?

IF I were an English Comp instructor (and its obvious I'm not), I would have to give him a big "21" for wordiness.

And how about this little ditty from Kent's diatribe?

Quote:

The question at issue is a simple one: Does the Escambia County, Florida civil government have jurisdiction over a Church of the Sovereign God of the universe?

Well, duh?

Kent, it's simple. If you live in a county, and the public visits your facility, there are these little things called building codes that are to be adhered to in the interest of public safety.

Have the inspectors come back in a "private capacity" my backside! Even "Gawd" won't get you a free pass on building inspection, Kent. Now greasing Rene, the building inspector's palm with a little cashish might.

From Hovind's pathetic screed: "Our decision to build without permits from the county was based on our understanding of the Bible and, to a lesser degree, the constitutions of the United States and the state of Florida."

LOL! "A lesser degree" to be sure. Since when has this jackass ever understood, much less respected, constitutional law?

Then he has the chutzpah to compare his "pricipled" stand to Moses in Egypt, Daniel and his companions and the early church martyrs!

The man is delusional. Of course, we already knew that.

Since when has not understanding something stopped hovind from pretending to be the world's leading expert on it?

My job is to study God's Word, try to obey it and leave the results up to God.

So when the building falls on his congregants, it's an act of God and not shoddy workmanship.

I wonder if Kent Hovind has trusted God to protect his buildings from lightning instead of a contraption based on the godless, materialistic theories of Benjamin Franklin and his successors -- a lightning rod.

When she indicated she disagreed I told her she would have to leave immediately unless she could prove she had jurisdiction. I explained to her that the Bible said Jesus was the head of the church and civil government had no authority.

Just more evidence that, contrary to their egregious hypocrisy, creationists believe what they do so that they can avoid being held acountable for their actions. Man, we need to form some sort of church so that we can break the law with impunity. Does this guy have no idea what an arrogant, selfish jackass he comes across as?

I have always been amazed at this tendency of the "religious right:" to claim to be more patriotic than anyone else, but to routinely violate the laws of the land, from the smallest local ordinances up to the Constitution, to serve their religious agenda.

I couldn't be bothered reading this entire piece of ridiculous claptrap. Is Hovind claiming to have incurred $100,000 in legal fees fighting over a 50 dollar building citation?

In (mentally) forming a letter to Gov Jeb, I was going to remind him that America was not founded as a christian nation and cite the Treaty of Trafalger. OK, so I'm having a big time memory lapse here. One of the first treaties that this country signed was with a Muslim country and stated something like: America is not a christian nation. Obviously it's not called the Treaty of Trafalger, or at least I can find no links on the web for it. Help anyone. Thanks
