    <title>Dr. Kent Hovind Gets Ten Years Because of Religion or Tax Fraud?</title>
    <description>
Yes, Lady Justice is blind, dumb, stupid, and bigoted as is obvious in the case of Dr. Kent Hovind who sits in prison as I write this piece. And if it could happen to him, it could and might happen to you or me. Maybe Bible believing Christians should do as Chinese Christians and keep a small bag packed with personal things waiting for that ominous knock on the door. “We’re from the Federal Government and we’re here to get you.”&lt;p&gt;

    <title>Dr. Kent Hovind: From the Pensacola Jail!</title>
    <description>
He (Kent) told me “The tax laws very clearly give some ‘exceptions’; and some ‘exemptions’ for certain individuals and certain ministries, including 508 (c) (1) (a) church ministries.” He told me “I have corresponded with the IRS on numerous occasions asking them exactly what laws apply to 508 (c) (1) (a).&amp;#160; However, they never responded to any of my letters. The agents themselves testified that they did not ever respond to any of my letters.”&lt;p&gt;

    <title>Dr. Kent Hovind Sits in Jail While Accused Child Molester Sits at Home!</title>
    <description>
All right, many Christians (and others) will declare that Kent was wrong, and because a government is wicked, abortion-promoting, homosexual-pandering does not justify circumvention of taxes. However, the Federal Government has often permitted sport or entertainment celebrities to walk away from huge tax payments with a very small slap on the wrists paying pennies on the dollar! Are we paranoid to suggest that Christians are always treated more severely than others?&lt;p&gt;

    <title>Should Christians Shoot in Self Defense?</title>
    <description>
Most Americans admit that self-defense is American but is it Christian?&amp;#160; I think so, although many will disagree.&lt;p&gt;

    <title>Should Christian Jurors Disregard Judges' Instructions?</title>
    <description>
A judge usually tells a jury that they can decide the facts in the case before them but he will decide the law. That is not correct. Juries have the final decision as to fact and law. They are more powerful than the Governor or President since those officials can only pardon after a guilty verdict. A jury can affirm that there is no guilt! Of course, that strikes at the heart of a judge’s authority, and most of them resent it, ridicule it, and will resist it whenever possible.&lt;p&gt;

    <title>Is The Death Penalty Right or Wrong? Part 2</title>
    <description>
I have also heard&amp;#160; the&amp;#160; old&amp;#160; canard&amp;#160; that&amp;#160; it is better to let a hundred guilty men go free than to execute one innocent man. Now, I&apos;m not advocating executing innocent people, and the thought is horrifying, but it is a silly statement. We are comparing one Innocent man to&amp;#160; hundreds of other innocent people who would be killed if the hun-dred killers went free. The other side of this issue doesn’t think.&lt;p&gt;
