Talk:Evangelist Hovind found guilty for tax fraud

This should be two separate articles. I don't see a lot of actual bias in it, though. Shadenfreude, perhaps, but not bias (except by virtue of its existence; the title seems quite POV, but the article is mostly NPOV.) On the other hand, it could use more information on Hovind's defense...--DCo1 00:39, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Hovind IN JAIL?
Kent hovind opened so many peoples eyes. Even though the Government got him, I have no doubt that he'll be preaching and witnessing in jail.
 * I am a Catholic and I believe you should obey the law even if you are a founder of a Church. I mean...what is the point of preaching your religion if you are breaking the law? — Fellow Wiki  Newsie  20:33, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Kent Hovind, according to his opinion, didn't break the law. He tried to get out of paying taxes on his property by claiming it under 508(c)1 status. This means, in the broadest sense, that almost everything he owns, as well as his ministry, is a "church" and therefore does not need to be listed under 501(c)3. You do not need to pay taxes on churches under either of these legal conditions, but that's where the problem roots. The IRS does not believe that Hovind's ministry or theme park is applicable as a church, and for 17 years, the two opinions have battled on and off. Finally, the IRS won and Hovind was sentenced. Unfortunately, the case was not aired, so I'm not completely sure whom I think is right. -Sebastian (www.keyofreason.co.nr)
