Ex-Con Hovind released from the pokey.

Not to pile on, but... I'm going to pile on, here: What's your problem with Americans? Why is this a thing?

If you watch our reality TV shows, I really can't blame people for believing that we are an inbred group of 300 million rubes.

It is beyond that, this guy has a real chip on his shoulder.

Haha! Probably.

But this is kind of like learning about radiocarbon dating from movies.

Jan Volkes: Not all of us eat bugs for money. And don't take that the wrong way: those of us who don't do it for money, don't do it for free, either.

 

[Jan Volkes]

What kind of opportunities, you seem to be back peddling now.

You said Hovind was American through and through. Would this mean you are implying that being American means scamming people?

How many Americans would you say are religious? half the population? is religion a thriving business for quite a lot of people?
is there a lot of money to be made from religion? does Kent Hovind tell lies to religious people in order to make money,
do you think he is in it for the money?

 

[Jan Volkes]

This guy is a woman and I do not have a chip on my shoulder but I can tell a scam artist when I see one, Kent Hovind is a scam artist and if the religious people he preys on can not see that then they deserve everything they get, they have been warned so many times the record is worn out.

 

[Jan Volkes]

Are you saying that there are no con artists in your part of the globe?

Of course we have con artists in the UK but I can assure you they are not given the kind of encouragement it would seem they are in the US, the TV religious con men in the US are a source of entertainment in the UK, the UK is a much more closely knitted society and con artists tend to go where the money is, religion and what goes with it are not so prevalent in the UK, I have no doubt we have religious con men in the UK but they must do it on the quiet because we rarely hear about it.

Brits tend to keep themselves to themselves because we do not have the room Americans do, our towns are towns and the country side is the country side and the authorities are not allowed to mix them together unless there are very good reasons.
Towns are what they are and if they want to expand it takes an act of parliament to do it, the green belt as the country side is called can not be touched, that's why the cities are so densely populated.

This should give you some idea of what I am talking about, no where in Britain is more than 80/85 miles from the sea.

Again with the semantics.

What is your natural language? You must have skipped English class. And people.

I agree that's the price you pay for free speech.....is free speech.
And I prefer that over what Old Veterans think they learnt in grad school,
how everyone else needs to shut up and only let the elite speak.

Who says this?

Anybody who thinks Hovind should not speak his sermons.

Do his "sermons" help to better society and education?

You said American through and through, did you not.

The people who listen to Hovind, are a minority of the population. You appear to be broad brushing your comments though.

If he can get people to listen, have at it.

 

[AV1611VET]

Denying reality do you no favours.

Who denies more?

I say empiricists:[VERSE=2 Kings 6:17,KJV]And Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.[/VERSE]Can you top that?

If so, I'll admit we deny more.

 

[AV1611VET]

On the contrary, denying reality to protect a tightly held believe can be very beneficial to some.

I'll bet the Bible's reality is infinitely larger than empiricists' reality.

You could even eliminate our galaxy, and still reality is a quadrillion times larger than empiricists can imagine.

That, combined with your post count, won't buy a cup of coffee at Starbucks.

Yes I did say that because it's true.

The people who listen to Hovind, are a minority of the population. You appear to be broad brushing your comments though.

When a dozen or so crazy Muslims flew planes into the towers the whole world wanted moderate Muslims to stand up and condemn the killers but they didn't, only a few spoke out against the killers, in the US religious con men are openly conning people everywhere every day and very few people speak out against it, why? because it's masquerading under the guise of free speech.
If 'free speech' is hurting and damaging people something must be done, people do not sit on their hands and do nothing expecting things to get better, "for injustice and ignorance to thrive all it takes is for good men to do nothing".
That's why I included all Americans because most Americans are just watching and letting it happen and saying nothing.
Americans are determined to love their 'Free speech' even if it kills them.
Anything that damages a society must go no matter what it is, 'free speech and guns' are destroying America because both encourage crazies to do crazy things, how many Americans deep down feel genuinely safe?

46 percent of gun owners said they bought the gun for protection, protection from whom? other Americans?
I know that not all Americans have guns or even feel the need to have a gun but I also know that most Americans would not be surprised if they heard gunshots, Brits only ever hear gunshots on the TV in the cinema or if they are in a war zone,
are Americans living in a war zone? quite a lot of them would say yes they are.

Kent Hovind is an American through and through and he knows where it's at, he's doing what every struggling American wishes they could do, he's found a source of easy

Alright enough of this. This is like your fourth post in this thread about Americans. You are clearly flame baiting all US citizens on this board and each post more will be reported (I encourage everyone else especially americans to report this poster as well). People are fine and dandy talking about Hovind and creationists..... whatever. Nationality and your great jealousy of Americans has nothing to do with this - Ministries like Hovind's gets support from all over the world.

,

You know nothing but what you watch on TV. there are several communities where gun shots have never been fired. Out of the 50 states (that you collectively lost) how many do you hear about in the news?

Meanwhile Brits never hear gunfire eh?

More rubbish. the vast majority would in fact say not
