Our old friend Kent is down but far from out. Seems he's still stridently preaching, albeit to a more limited congregation. quote:
UPDATE FROM BUNK THREE
107 Comments
I've been here about a month now. I am fine physically and even getting in a little better shape since I have time to work out several times a day. The food is tolerable and the room is well lit and comfortable. The five new converts that are in this pod with me are meeting with me four to five times each day for Bible study and prayer. This is a pastor's dream! It would take most churches a year to cover what we cover every week. Our group has been through, verse-by-verse, Matthew, Mark and Acts as well as most of Proverbs. I started with the 6,000-year time line and gave several days of general overview of the entire Bible. It is awesome to see the spiritual hunger in these men.
I have also been teaching math and science to some of the others. It is great to see convicted drug dealers get excited when they learn fourth grade level math for the first time. I have spent quite a bit of time with one 29-year-old man who cannot read at all. I have been teaching him phonics and we are reading Genesis 1, 2, 3 and John 1, 2, and 3. His face lights up when he sees that he can do it. I offer commissary items like soup or coffee to men who memorize Bible verses. There is no way to describe the joy that they show when they get it right. Many have never memorized scriptures in their life, and maybe that is why they are in jail. Scripture helps us to “cleanse our ways” Psalm 119:9-11.
Sooo, do we see fledgling Colson emerging here? Maybe, but, as Hovind is such a chronic liar, one might casually wonder how much of the post is of, let's be polite here, utter, uncomposted bullshit.
I seem to recall, some time back, mentioning as to how a happy Hovind would have a captive audience; one that can't escape his blitherings. Well, much to my amusement, he sort of expresses that very sentiment. I also liked the pitious plea for readers of the blog to send letters to the court, which might have been the point of the whole thing.
Kent, Kent; have you at last found your calling? That of bending the minds of those already bent? Preach on, fair felon, preach on!

Maybe that hunger isn't entirely spiritual, Kent me lad. If you drop your soap, just leave it.
