Update on Kent Hovind

[Mercutio]

I wasn't sure where to post this--I figured, since we have the "annoying creationists" thread here, and Kent Hovind is indeed an annoying creationist, I'd start it here and see.

Yup, Kent is blogging from behind bars, just to let us all know how he is doing. In the Oct. 10 entry, he reports on recent conversations he has been having with God...and with old split-foot himself. Hard to pick a favorite clip, but...

kh: Thanks for helping me so far, God. You are truly awesome!

GOD: Son, would you love me if I make you serve the entire ten years in prison?

kh: That is sure not my will God, but I would try.

GOD: What if I need your case to go all the way to the Supreme Court to get a ruling that helps millions? Would you be happy with sitting there for several years while I do this?

kh: Lord, You know my heart. I would not be happy, but I trust You to do right (Genesis 18:25). I would be happy if I could go home with no parol or probation while this case is on appeal. I am happiest when I’m teaching others about Your creation like I did for seventeen years.

GOD: What if I decide you are more fruitful for me in there? Your blog encourages many and your imprisonment has caused many to be more bold (Philippians 1:12-14). Would you be happy to know your being in prison does more good for my kingdom than your traveling and preaching?

Who was it (Carlin?) who said if you talk to God you're praying but if God talks back you're crazy?

I'm willing to bet batty Kent had nothing to do with those words. More likely, it's his demented "publicity machine" (aka his son) thinking he can use his dad's incarceration to generate sympathy, and thus some income somehow - expect pleas for donations to "the cause".

It is remarkable, actually, that it cannot immediately be seen as parody. Hovind set too high a bar.
