From the Orlando Sentinel:
PENSACOLA — Jurors convicted a Pensacola evangelist who founded Pensacola’s defunct Dinosaur Adventure Land theme park on 58 counts of tax fraud.
Kent Hovind, founder of Creation Science Evangelism, was accused of failing to pay $845,000 in employee taxes at the dinosaur theme park, an amusement park that exposed visitors to the view of Hovind and his followers that humans and dinosaurs coexisted and that evolution did not occur. […]
Kent Hovind said he and his employees were workers of God and therefore exempt from paying taxes. He paid his employees in cash and did not withhold their taxes or pay his share as an employer.
November isn’t shaping up as a very good month for Wingnut Fundamentalists, is it? First the Ted Haggard “Gay Sex Fueled by Meth” scandal and now this one. I guess God told Hovind not to pay those employee taxes, just like God told Ted Haggard that blowing off a little steam with a gay prostitute is the perfect antidote for stress if you’re been anointed by God to preach the Good News.
I sure do wish I had as close a personal relationship with God as them old boys do. I bet I could have had a lot more fun in my life if I had, and I sure would have kept lot more of my money.
