It is so sad to see so many of you hear gloat over someone else's missfortune.
"Misfortune"?
I never heard a tax evasion conviction described as a "misfortune" before, but I suppose it is a "misfortune".
Easily preventable, though.

Do you think that most of the atheists here even care whether Kent paid his taxes or not? Phhuuh. Not in the least.
I care.
I care because he hasn't paid his share to support those intrepid men and women in uniform that defend our country.
I care that he hasn't paid his employees' social security taxes, so when they try to receive those funds, they will not be there. Not only does that make me feel for those people, it also means that they will be more likely to need other kinds of public assistance that the rest of us will pay for instead of who was supposed to in the first place.
I care that he used or benefitted from good roads, the electrical grid, the airwaves, schools, the police force, the national guard and coast guard, regulatory agencies, and many other government services that taxes pay for without contributing his fair share.

Most of you hear are gloating over his missfortune because of his person. Because you were sick of his "ridiculous" creation theories. That's the root of it, and it's certainly a root of evil.
Hey, he's the prideful, deceitful, selfish one, not paying his fair share.
He's also supposed to be a good Christian, isn't he?

Very sad. Goes to show just how "compassionate" the atheists/evolutionsts truly are as they claim to be.
Just goes to show you how "honest" the Christians truly are as they claim to be.
And I never did claim to be compassionate, you know.

The term "finally" at the end of the topic of this forum really says alot. And it surely doesn't send a pretty message. "Celebrating" over his 10 year sentence? If I were standing in front of you right now, and if I had no fear in a Living God, I would slap you in the face very hard.
Tell me, do you believe that people who commit tax fraud should go to jail, or not?
Is it wrong to be satisfied when a known swindler and liar finally gets caught and punished appropriately?

I just wonder how quick you would be to defend one of your prized evolutionists if they were sent to prison for "tax evasion".
Well, scientists tend to frown on dishonesty in science, since one's work tends to be based on the work of others.
People who are discovered to have purposefully fabricated data, for example, are no longer able to get a job doing science, since the taint of association is so great.
So, I'd say that anyone, even if they are a scientist, who tries to get away with tax evasion deserves what they get.
