I miss our Kent. He and his utter crap was so much fun to tear apart and aviciously abuse that one almost hopes for his early release. But his sentence has been confirmed and it looks like we won't have him to kick around again for a good, long time.
Howsomever, he still has long, pointless conversations with an invisable friend and dead guys, so he might end up leaving prison to check into the looney bin.
"From: Kent Hovind
Sent: August 11, 2008
To: Joseph
Subject: God Is In Control
First Read: “But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth” Acts 1:8.kh: Good morning, Lord.
GOD: Good morning, Son.
kh: Lord, lots of times I read things in your Word that indicate that You know what's going to happen in the future.
GOD: That's correct, Son. I know everything, past, present, and future.
kh: Then why do you allow bad things to happen to people? Especially good people?
GOD: Oh, Son, you are confusing “knowing” with “controlling.” You need to talk with Joe and then meet Bubba. Let's go for a walk…
kh: Is this old Egypt, Lord? It's beautiful!
GOD: Yes, Son. Joseph is in prison now, and doesn't know how it will turn out yet, sort of like you. Go talk with him, Son. (It's one year after Genesis 40:23.)
KH: Hey, Joe, how are you doing?
Joseph (JOE): Well, pretty good most days, but I have bad days too. I don't understand why God allowed this to happen to me. I wonder if I sinned or He's mad at me for something. I don't know what it is though. I'm up and down.
KH: I know how you feel. It's like a rollercoaster.
JOE: A what?
KH: Never mind, that would take a while to explain and it won't be invented for over three thousand years.
JOE: Oh, I'll never live that long! Anyway, I do spend some time wondering why God let this happen to me. I try to do right. I'm in prison now for not sinning against God (Genesis 39:9)! How can God allow that?
KH: I wonder about those things myself.
JOE: I tried to be a good son to my dad (Genesis 37), but my half brothers sold me into slavery. Why would God allow that? I didn't ask to come to Egypt or prison.
KH: Did God cause it or allow it?
JOE: Hmmm…that's a good question. My brothers caused it, but God allowed it. He could have stopped it though.
KH: But God gave man freedom to choose (Genesis 3). Without that freedom, we would be mindless robots.
JOE: What's a robot?
KH: Never mind, that would take a really long time to explain, too! Anyway, the point is that God lets man choose his own path. Your brothers sinned—not you and not God.
JOE: About a year ago, I interpreted a dream for the chief butler and baker. I asked the butler to remember me and tell Pharaoh that I'm an innocent man (Genesis 40:14-15) locked up for no reason. It looks like he forgot me."
You'll find it linked in this posting of PZ's.
