Hide your Kids! Kent Hovind's Dinosaur Scandal Land 2022 (feat Atheist Jr, MrzParker)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 июл 2024
- Somehow, Kent Hovind managed to top himself again this year... from a new wife, to RUclips ban, to death of his health expert, a violation of a restraining order, revenge p•rn, a stroke, another trial, and just when we thought it couldn't get any lower... the Dinosaur Adventure Land compound's darkest accusations to date - missing children and systematic abuse.
AJ (of @AtheistJr ), @MrzParkerInc and @McKinnonMitchellStudios join me to make sense of the strange and horrifying 2022 and get you up-to-speed on what's happening at Dinosaur Adventure Land.
With thanks to @cindilincoln , @markstoney44 , @InspiringPhilosophy , Brett Keane and Robert Baty.

With no surprise, given the subject matter of this video... RUclips has demonetized it. Any Super Chats or Super Thanks are welcome, as this one consumed the better part of a month for me.
Sorry to hear that
That's stupid. RUclips is stupid.
You should be disputing that demonetization.
that whack yune at the end GOLDEN!
I know it doesn't pay the bills or anything, but I just want to say thank you for doing what you do. As a former Young Earth Creationist probably ultimately influenced by Hovind myself, what you do and how you do it is extremely important. I wish I had been exposed to the sort of stuff you put out 20+ years ago.
I went to an ACE private Christian school from ~1990 - 2003 before going out of state for Bible college. I've spent a significant portion of my adult life trying to correct the "education"/indoctrination I grew up with. And I'm not sure if anything I was taught was directly from Hovind, but it may as well have been (from the vegetarian dinosaurs to the pseudo-science "medicine" to the homophobia and much more).
Everything you make is a great resource. Appreciate you so much man. You’re a huge influence
When your fake dinosaur park is more dangerous than Jurassic Park . . .
This made me nearly spit out my water!
👏👏👏👏
I only wish no one had been harmed in real life.
That is funny 😂
👍
Nahh more people died in Jurassic Park... I think...
So happy to collab again. Big thank you to all of the people who contributed, and to you guys for watching. The research was extremely time consuming on this video, because the scope was so much bigger.
Hi ya, AJ👋😃
I don't know why you felt sad Kent had a stroke. He deserves more.
i like your nine inch nails hoodie
Will you guys get real? I don't like Kent at all, but that was a tastless joke not a threat. If I was these women I would get the hell away from the freak. Ss for what Kent believes, I don't think he really believes in God. Kent believes in Kent as man and master. Creationism is just a way to justify his horrible behavior.
Hi AJ , you guys did a great job!
I don't know how Kent gets worse the more I learn about him, but he does.
here's hoping this man gets the justice he deserves.
Hopefully justice gets him first.
Then you haven't listened to the audio of him slamming his Cindy to the ground yet.
Logicked - Kent Hovind Advocates Genocide (for Biblical Crimes)
It kinda makes me wish there was a god. Because then I'd recommend for Kenty to get buried in his undies so he doesn't get too hot where he'll spend his eternity.
Would an all powerful God allow Kent Hoven to exploit belief in a God if a God existed? Kent Hoven is proof the Christian God does NOT exist
He'd be comically criminal if it weren't for the real harm he has and continues to do. I sincerely hope there's significant jail time in his future
He lives in a town that has all but let him get away with most of it! The Tax evasion was a federal issue, and they had no say in it, and as far as his little penalty for what he did to his wife, it almost got swept under the table, but too many called them out for it, so they had to do something. Now with MAGA on the rise, and christian nationalists in every court and every level of government it's becoming less and less likely he will ever even be investigated, or ever held responsible.
Yeah it’s comical how he is a free man and not in jail! Surprising almost as if he is actually not a criminal l o l get real and wake up
If there was a just god he would have been punished.
Guess there isn't a god, so people need to make sure he faces justice, he's a sick horrible man.
@LVB Yeah! I too need a God who believes in me, not vice versa. Like who has beliefs that are based on nothing, thats like having a belief. We all know we came from rocks, supported only by your belief in it.
@@lukesutton4135 what
Screw RUclips and their demonetization hammer while you shine a light on the monsters around us.
Appreciate very much, avi8r66. and yeah, I wish they could figure out who the people calling out the bad actors are.
I believe RUclips does this for any videos that delve into subjects that are especially unappealing to advertisers, even if they're legit topics to cover. Advertisers typically don't want their products associated with tough content like this, which is understandable from a commercial perspective. It's far easier for RUclips to keep all the advertisers away than have to judge each case on its merits, which can't be done through automation.
@@EnglishMike YT doesn't watch the vid, it looks for keywords. If you mention certain words it gets demonetized, even if debunking or teaching people to avoid the bad thing or help them overcome it. Its a very bad system that desperately needs an overhaul.
@@EnglishMike that anyone thinks that a commercial next to a negative topic gives people a bad impression of the product is insane. The average ad/commercial is what poisons the prospective consumer against their product and nothing else!
It's time for people to call for RUclips to create a clear list. A list of people whose position on certain things is established and their content will reflect that. One qualification should be whether or not content creators correct themselves when they have been corrected. If not, they don't go on a clear list.
The idea is simple, they should do it and they should make it work. Falsely accusing people based on the words alone, the sounds coming out of their mouth, that's unethical.
Seeing Zaire safe and pursuing music (I am also a musician) is such a heartwarming thing, despite how dark this story is.
Thanks for the unflinching look into this dark, dank part of the world.
Here's hoping for less next year, R. thank you.
If they're recording people having sex, who's to say they don't already have cams setup in every cabin, or whatever structures families are living in.... it's so infuriating how people don't see how dangerous this guy is.
I've followed this case closely. They had a house off DAL property, and their tech guy was using DAL equipment there to make videos. Supposedly some of it was porn. That's the cabin the tech guy took the secretary to and got her drunk. He then filmed her there.
@@esialdor ah I see.. very concerning though. If someone would this off property, what would one be capable of doing on private property designated as some sort of ministry "safe haven"! Yikes! 😬😬
@@falsenarrativecults6235 According to Hovind's former acolytes, the tech guy was also a drug addict and was given access to DAL's finances by Hovind and proceeded to steal thousands of dollars from them. I think he ended up being arrested as well.
I don't know how that's not illegal 🙄
@@carolkegel7599 I agree. Secretly filming anyone is illegal in two-party consent states. Filming sexual activity without consent is illegal. Distributing revenge porn is illegal. Attempted blackmail is illegal. And rape with the assistance of alcohol (and perhaps an additional substance, reading between the lines) is illegal. At least those things are illegal in normal states. Maybe not in Alabama??
i'm not saying Kent Hovind is sexually attracted to cartoon Paul...i'm just saying he seems inordinately preoccupied with cartoon Paul's physique...
Naw, he's just frightened by anyone with more muscles than the women and children he smacks around because they can actually fight back.
@@Lobsterwithinternet
sadly i think my experience tells me this is likely true, if not of Kent Hovind specifically, of the many people who think just like him.
His... culture does care a lot about appearances. He does the same sort of thing with Creaky Blinder.
@@Visshaldar It's how sociopathic individuals like Kent think.
They only care about others in terms of the utility they provide.
It's why he backed Chris, his tech support guy, over his wife.
@@Visshaldar well the legal system says Kent is a wife beater
It's so sad that believers can't see the dripping evil in groups like this.
Yes, perhaps this video will remove the 'scales from their eyes'
"Theres a library of existing and future videos" that line has me in literal tears in a parking lot waiting for my daughter to get out of taekwondo. 👏
To add to the Paulogia / Hovind theory: I think him having a religious institution, from the beginning, was to facilitate his sovereign citizen beliefs. He wanted ways to be tax exempt and a compound for all his sketchy friends.
He is a sovereign citizen? Wouldnt we hear more of the typical drivel they barf up whenever they are being prosecuted?
@@pauldeddens5349 I'll be fair, I don't think I've heard it directly from him. But his sus friends are. And how he talks about his tax evasion and structuring history makes it sound like he's got that bent.
Also, his avoiding going to jail over his latest conviction is in line with it. Maybe he is just smart enough to not try to be all "the law doesn't apply to me because I don't consent" in court.
@@punkrockllama Maybe, I just think he is crooked and gets thrills (or feels like its an obligation) to avoid government actions, rather than actively believing the government doesnt exist/directly owns him.
@@pauldeddens5349 did some googling. He is a sovereign citizen. Him and his wife Jo signed documents trying to say they're not actually under US law because reasons.
You know, my boyfriend and I had the same thought!! Hes such a skeezeball!!
“I may be a thief and a murderer and a wife beater but I’m also a Christian and with God imbued moral values!”
Don't forget, also forgiven by God.
This is the definitive, go-to video for anyone who is not informed on this! It's so disturbing to hear all of this laid out. I'm glad that this will raise awareness to a large audience. You did an incredible job, it's very comprehensive. Great job to everyone involved in putting this all together!
Frightening. Wow. This really peeled back the layers of the monster and what he is doing and capable of. Baptised a kid in a lake that a child drowned in...
Thanks Paul and AJ for this excelent update on this truly horrible person.
appreciate so much, thank you.
thanks!
Are police definitely investigating these cases as well as the assault case with his ex wife? Kent is properly concerning the more I hear about him
Wait, wait, wait... How the hell is "common-law marriage" any different from "living in sin"? The hypocrisy is burning already, and we've barely started. 😖 And his blatant support and justification of CSA are so nauseating. The fact that he genuinely said that teaching evolution is "the real pedophilia" is so repulsive that I can't even verbalise all the ways in which it makes me want to vomit.
"Common-law marriages" may be legal marriages depending on the circumstances.
Kent's and Mary Tocco's common-law marriage was legal and has, to my knowledge, never been legally dissolved.
Kent's common-law marriage to Cindi Lincoln was never a legal marriage.
Kent's common-law marriage to Sandra Sawyer is not legal marriage.
Sandra Sawyer has steadfastly refused to document otherwise; perhaps out of fear of proving Kent to be, legally, a "bigamist".
.
In Texas, common law marriage is legal marriage. My parents had a Texas common law marriage. Mom is now a widow. (There's a long story behind it, but Texas recognizes common law marriage.)
@@robertbaty6336 Oh yeah, Kent is absolutely a bigamist in that respect. But my point was more related to the large number of Christians that argue that unless you get married in a church, you're "living in sin" - except when you're not, because "common law marriage", you know? It just seems insanely hypocritical as you can guarantee that if it were an atheist (or probably even a different flavour of Christian), Kent and his ilk would say it didn't count.
@@mmmirele yeah, as I said to someone else, my comment was more in regard to a) Kent's hypocrisy and bigamy because of his lack of divorces and b) the overall hypocrisy of a large number of Christians who would blast weddings that were not held in a church as not being valid, except when it suits them. Especially as - in this case - you don't even have to do anything except say you're married, effectively.
This is some serious production man, appreciate it.
This is the kind of stuff that RUclips was invented for.
RUclips was invented to make money for its owners. Any other utility or consequence is entirely secondary.
If that were the case, RUclips wouldn't demonitize it
I don’t understand why they can’t pronounce Paulogia. If I was a pilot who called myself an Aviator and I claimed to educate people on Aviation, and after decades of this a challenger came along and called himself Daveyator and he told me his real name was Davey, I don’t think it would make me look smart to comically mispronounce his name as DAH-vay-tiour even after being corrected
Why do you think Kent Hovind *can't* pronounce Paulogia?
I think he's perfectly capable, and that he just mispronounces his name on purpose as a show of disrespect.
I mean I guess that's kind of how you read the situation too, actually, after rereading your comment for a bit... Name-calling generally doesn't make people look smart (unless it's particularly clever) - but generally it tends to be appreciated by people who are already inclined to agree with you.
Yeah, “Paulogia” is a great name. It’s very clever and fun. I think that’s why it bothers Kent and his ilk so much that they can’t even bring themselves to pronounce it. Paulogia himself is a clever and fun alternative to all the dime-a-dozen apologists.
@@pechaa First video of his I watched. Caught me off gaurd when I heard the name, its incredibly clever.
There's been 5 murders in Lennox Alabama? That place really is Christian paradise.
I knew Kent was messed up but not to that extent ... great video
I feel so bad for the many children subjected to Ken & his nonsense.
I felt so angry and sad watching this video. Thank you all for exposing this piece of shit and probably saving some lives down the road. I wish I could donate to appreciate the work you do. Congratulations y'all
Will he hit his "new" daughter if she is scared of the dentist like he bragged of doing to his other child?
Sounds like he has other plans in mind for little girls.
in multiple ways
At least hell be less likely to brag about it now.
On their fourth marriage I guess this is the definition of if at first you don't succeed. Maybe it's you that's the problem.
Or maybe God is sending you a message to try coming out and try dating the same gender instead.
Heck, it worked in Fable 2. 😄
That poor young man! I send MANY accolades and kudos to his mother for maintaining her composure because if it had been MY DAUGHTER that pile of garbage masquerading as a human being would have ended up splattered across an area equivalent to a Manhattan city block! Zaire's mother is a MUCH stronger person than myself.
Holy cow, I was in the kitchen when that part of the video played of him talking about his nutrition guy dying, I couldn't entirely hear every word of the video from my kitchen since my computer is in the living room, I said jokingly to myself "I'm sure the government had your nutrition guy whacked for knowing too much".. I came back, set the video back a minute to hear it, omg, he actually did insinuate the government had his nutrition guy whacked lol.
Let's be real. The most shocking discovery is that Kent's ex wife, Cindy, still loves him. 😳
The rest is not surprising. He oozes with arrogance. I almost can't stand to listen to him.
It sounds like Chris has something over Kent. 🤔
She's dumb enough to believe in a god, so she's dumb enough to be attracted to her abusive ex.
Not shocking when you’ve seen all to often how these “men of god” so easily use other people’s beliefs, faith and fears to manipulate and warp their sense of reality. Kent and his buddies would fit in well with the Catholic Church and their priests. He’s had decades of practice to hone his sadistic abusive skills, and his wives can’t be his only victims.
Of course, Chris does.
He's the tech support for Kent and the one who knows where the bodies are buried. If he wanted to, he could ruin Kent and everyone involved with him near instantly. It's why Kent lets him get away with so much and why Chris has so many shiny toys.
@@Lobsterwithinternet 💯 You're one smart lobster.
@@cl5470 ,
Only smart lobsters have internet...
I recently showed a minister friend of mine your video on the resurrection and it seemed to really get him thinking. I doubt it will make him an atheist or anything like that, but he has said he might watch some more of your videos. Thank you for all that you do, and keep up your amazing work!
That's so amazing, PP! Please drop a line again to let me know how it's going with your friend.
As for Kent’s tech guy Steve who got into about 100k of the donations, two previous wives warned Kent about Steve. Hovind ignored them and even told Cindi the gun she thought was in his pocket was morning wood.
Are at all surprised?
Kent knows what side his bread is buttered on.
Chris is his tech guy and would most likely know where Kent’s skeletons are buried. That's why Kent protects him so much and why he has all those toys.
I used to watch Kent's DVD's a million times when I was a kid. I used his argument in highschool with my biology teacher. I lived next to Hails Anderson for 99% of my life. I did want to learn this infection for the longest time, even though I lost my faith. It hurts so much to learn your childhood hero is a monster.
Virtually every adult atheist is a former 'believer' of some kind of religion...whatever their parents and peers coerced them into accepting as a child. Every human is BORN an atheist, obviously, having formed no opinions on ANY subject, much less one as convoluted and controversial as religion.
The upshot is that we adult atheists, having considered the evidence...or more precisely the utter LACK of it... with rare exception know more about the religion we escaped from (and others, too) than those who continue to accept their adopted dogma without evidence or the benefit of critical thinking.
I went to a Lutheran high school, so we watched Hovind videos in religion class. His arguments seemed to make so much sense to me because we didn't learn anything else. We didn't learn anything about evolution in biology class. Finding out that Kent is a wife beater and committed tax fraud was at least in part why I de-converted.
@@MichaelG485 Thanks for sharing your thoughts. So, you were a creationists and now, I presume, you are an atheist? Yet, you were wrong before. How do you know that you have it right 'this time'? In all love and respect, what assurance do you have that you are in the truth?
My upbringing was the exact opposite. That is, I was raised by an atheist, never hearing about the Bible until my late teens. Yet, God gave me a conscience. You know that there is a right and a wrong. Why? If there is no God, people are nothing special, we are 'just another life form.' Atheism is another name for 'lawless.'
That is the damnable part for atheists. Unless you make things right with Christ, you will go into eternity without any sort of law. That is, there are torturers in hell. Think about it logically. As you read this, people around the world are being mercilessly tortured. You know in your conscience that such behavior is evil. If there is evil, there is good. If there is good there is a heaven and a hell for evil people. If you have lied or stolen, you will be tried as a lying thief. Jesus said that those in hell WILL be tortured. It's not God's fault! If you defy your conscience, playing the 'atheist's game,' you will stand before God as a guilty sinner. You will wind up in all eternity with other lying thieves!
Yet, Christ died on a Cross so that you can know Him. You can go from being a false Christian faith to genuinely knowing Christ. I hope that you will leave the door open. Christ will not come into your life without your invitation. He won't drag you into heaven by your ears! If you wind up in court, it is too late! You cannot say that I did not warn you. I hope you make things right with God. Jesus Christ is the light of the world.
@@kenshiloh "How do you know that you have it right 'this time'?"
I don't know, but I am more confident in my current beliefs than when I was a Christian. What assurance do you have that you are right? What if Islam is true? Or Buddhism? Or any of the other religions that we have created? Christianity is not special when you compare it to anything else we've come up with.
"You know that there is a right and a wrong."
No, I don't know there is right and wrong. Humans made up that concept and we continue to refine it. That's why every society in human history had and has different laws and rules. I believe we should strive to reduce human suffering as much as possible.
"If there is evil, there is good. If there is good there is a heaven and a hell for evil people."
This logic does not follow at all. People want to believe there is some ultimate judgement for all the "bad people". From the Christian world view though, Jeffery Dahmer is in heaven right now since he repented before he died. You can "sin" all you want so long as you say you're sorry before you die.
"If there is no God, people are nothing special, we are 'just another life form.'"
Correct, we are nothing special. We have just evolved to the point where we are able to think and reason better than any other species on the planet.
@@kenshiloh what do you mean by words "atheism" and "atheist"?
Any evidence that
1) there exist at least one thing which deserves title of god?
2) it’s your god instead of some other god(s)?
3) your version of your god is right one instead of version of someone who disagrees with you about your god's characteristics?
Thank you for putting all this together and amplifying it all on your platform, paulogia. The victim’s stories need to be heard.

thank you for the support and kinds words, Christian
That $10 means a lot to you don’t it Paul 😂
@@achinesechickin118 ???
Thanks! In my experience as an ex-Christian, I’m constantly catching myself feeling like my experience is separate from these types of people, as if they’re too far outside of the norm for me to consider things like this part of my experience. Then I think more about my past experience and realize just how common men like Kent hovind are.
Thank you so much, Jared
Woohoo, my WHACKED track made it onto the main channel. Still loving all the positive reponses. If you like the video, there is a link in the description, where the track is uploaded as a standalone (and where i post other fun mashups).
I am currently working on another, similar track, that is already close to 4 minutes long. Stay tuned and thanks for the nice comments again.
NPD (Narcissistic Personality Disorder) world seems to be flooded with all kinds of disorders these days.
Kent Hovin is just an awful bully and one of the worse at that.
Matt P is simply vile.
Why on earth do people think Kent and son of Kent (Eric) is anything other than a conmen.
Great video Paulogia.
I don't believe that Eric is a conman. He's been manipulated and lied to from birth by Kent. He is just another victim of Kent's control. I'm open to the possibility that I'm wrong on this but he comes across as genuine in his beliefs and generally a good person, this should be obvious when comparing Kent's attitude to Paul and Erics attitude to him.
@@MrMyers758 I agree to a point Eric is also a victim. However he is not a poor man and I don't think he is stupid.
I think his reported net worth of $16 Million shows that he knows what he is doing for all the wrong reasons.
If Eric was a real Christian (yes I know the true Scotts man fallacy) he would not have $16 Million. This is because his Jesus character says it's easier for a camel
to pass through the eye of a needle than a rich man get into heaven.
Eric knows that he is made for life and he takes money often from people that cannot afford it so I don't think he is innocent.
@@grayintheuk8021 I tend to disagree, you cannot acknowledge that you are making a no-true Scotsman fallacy and then continue to use it as a point haha
He likely has cognitive dissonance in this matter, and I'm sure scammer Kent put some words in his head when he was younger which allows him to reconcile the issue. You can say no true Christian should wear polyester, but the fact many do isn't a reason to doubt their sincerity in what they preach.
Personally I feel that he genuinely believes he is doing good, and is happy that he can earn a ton of money for him and his family by doing it. I believe the that the concept that some of his money is coming from people who can barely afford it isn't ever a thought that occurs, or at least one which isn't suppressed in the same way as religious doubts are supressed.
Obviously I am still open to the possibility that I am wrong here.
I absolutely agree with you that Matt Powell is vile. He is a fitting successor for KHs crown.
Eric seems to be a much, much better person than his father. As far as I know, he has not to perpetuated the violence and abuse his father inflicted on him on his kids, and, in my limited experience with him, he seems try and keep the discourse polite and friendly. And his "stealing" the ministry from Kent, entirely legally, is honestly just poetic justice in my opinion.
Thanks for all the effort put into this one.
appreciate that, Mike
For the obvious effort you put into this and so many of your other videos. And for the important work you do helping to shine a light on this nauseating human.
TBH, I often skip your videos on Hovind and Ham because I find it hard to stomach even short clips of these charlatans. But I sincerely appreciate the respectful tone that RUclipsrs like you bring to conversations about theism, deconversion, OT/NT historical arguments, etc. Yours is one of the only two or three channels that I would feel comfortable directing believer friends or family to if they came to me with questions about theology or deconversion.
That means much. thank you.

that's my hope, Bryan. thank you.
Great pipes @Paulogia !!
I’ve been an observer of Kentles since the ‘80s and the glory days of Cable Access and followed his story in the fine journalism of the San Francisco Chronicle.
He’s always possessed a feral creepiness but even my dark heart and twisted soul did not guess at the putrid, foul, dank depths of his amoral corruption and evil.
DAL has been his obvious redoubt for years. Add to that his love of guns and the zeal of an apocalyptic True Believer makes it appear this will probably not turn out well. I hope as many people leave as possible before another Waco barbecue.
Maybe if Eric gave that pocket knife back to Papa Hovind things might calm down.
For a bunch of holier than thou fundies, they sure do accomplish a lot of evil. 😢
Thank you so much for creating this video and for spreading awareness. ✌️ 🕊️
If they're so holy, and they do so much evil, then evil must be holy. Ergo, given holiness is the nature of a god, then their flavour of god is an evil one and we should therefore want nothing to do with it.
Yet me, as a gay adult into men my own age aren’t allowed to be married because they don’t want us to, their “god” tells them so 😂😂
18:45 - The only thing I really miss about becoming an atheist was singing in the choir. From one fellow bassist to another, I salute you.
That section was badass
Music is also one of my huge misses from church as well - that bit of quartet was delightful.
Thank you. This work is important.
I appreciate that, Jack. Thank you.
There is one positive thing I get out of this myself. As hard as it is to say 'positive' myself. And that is that justice is actually being done.
Growing up? Things like this weren't secret. Everyone knew it was going on. And no one cared beyond to make a joke about it. Now? People are doing something about it and not waiting until it's a little girl being preyed on before they'll act. Which for personal reasons for me is definitely a plus.
Yes! Kent is living like it's still 1999 , with the secrets and jokes. So disturbing.
@@VioletJoy more like 1959
@@wishusknight3009 Well, that too. I was thinking more 1999 in the fundamentalist Christian circles.
Yeah, and I expect more to be done as time passes.
It looks to me that there are still plenty of victims. Why is the state of Alabama not arresting Kent and his secretary for putting that creep Chris into the same bed with the boy, Z.?
Thank you for covering this.
Though I can't pretend to have enjoyed such stomach churning content, sometimes it's better to know the reality.
Some people say power corrupts, I think it's also in part power attracts the corrupt or corruptible. But either way, a religious cult is prime ground for the power scenario. And usually it's worse, because the leader is typically creating that power dynamic, very intentionally.
When you think his comments on eugenics, the domestic violence or the tactlessness when the kid died at his trailer park were the worst, a trap door opens on rock bottom.
I believe your theory. He's gone full grift.
Of course he has.
Once he realizes the jig is up, he’s going to end up like another narcissistic grifter Darksydephil: Locking himself away from the world and his critics, milking a shrinking number of pay pigs while faking distress to ‘own the haters’ and keep the pittybux coming in.
Paulogia, wow! And I've been saying hovind was abusive for years, just based on Eric's refusal to bring his family near him! Plus, that is common in christianity, but I only suspected the sex stuff. And I knew nothing of all this. Taxes and the body slam were all I knew. I'm glad Eric stole his assets, though sad that he teaches the same bad crap. Of course, he never had any real chance of true education. Great job! Makes me want to pay you, even more for your hard work! I'm trying!!👍🌊💙💙💙🌊🥰✌
Can't blame Eric, to be honest.
He has no real education or credentials to speak of and would have to work a real 9-to-5 entry-level job making not even 1/20th of what he makes now if he gave it up.
It's either to live in poverty for the rest of your life or keep up the ruse and be independently wealthy for the rest of your life. Which one would you honestly pick in his place?
Thank you for covering this. Hovind and all his goons need to be seen for who they are. Keep at it.
appreciate the encouragement and support
There is no hate like christian love!
Nice singing voice, Paul. Nice speaking voice, too. We all know you deepened it to intimidate you- know-who. Lol
Huge respect to all involved in investigating and covering these emotionally draining topics.
Sorry I can’t do more now but I really appreciate all your work. I’m sure this one wasn’t easy to make.
Thanks, Carol.
I live very near the Hammond Baptist church. While rumors about abuse there and at the "college" are abundant, I am curious about that documentary. Thank you for linking to it, and for this annual review of the Hovind chronicles. You always have receipts!
This is… terrifying. Thanks for exposing this.
Kent is more evil than I realized.
I was going to mention McKinnon Mitchell's documentary but then not only did you already do that, you actually got him on! 😁👍
When Paul started hitting those low notes during the song, I think I grew extra hairs on my chest.
whenever a person says ''it was 30 years ago the crime took place, so let the man in peace'' what they're doing is using time as a cleanser of ''sins'' shall we say, wrong doings. It's a common ploy amongst criminals and should be recognized as such
Woof, this was a rough one, but thanks you for putting in the time and work.
Always assume that the most religious among us are abusing women and children. Shakespeare seemed to be aware of this when he added this line in Hamlet …”he doth protest too much”. People wrongly associate religion with “good” so that’s where the predators hide.
As you said, this video is shocking. I hope these events have been reported to local law enforcement.
Edit: So, on reviewing this video I see that it has been reported to the police.
oh fucking hell, those zaire 'allegations' are horrifying. I hope he gets justice, that place sounds like a cesspool
WOW! Just WOW!
wow back, TUG! thank you
I follow a number of channels similar to yours. You are easily a standout channel in quality and depth of thought. You parse out details and nuances so many others miss.
Keep up the great work.
Man 'whacked' is a bop. Keep em coming Paul!! And congrats on the 100k.
We need to see more and more people to come forward
Back in the 60’s I sang in church and loved to do the bass part in “Little Talk with Jesus”. Fond memories. BTW, you are good at it!
Believers should know the truth about people many of them elevate and support
Sure, but if they didn’t learn from Baker and Ravi, much bigger “fish”, doubt they’ll learn from Kent.
we all should... thank you for the vote of confidence.
@@melbied6215 Jim Bakker is still alive and hocking his Bonus Buckets.
When Kent read his Bible, he seems to have misinterpreted "suffer little children come unto me" as "everyone who comes near me should suffer."
How's he interpret the part about the millstone?
Just want to point out that unless the trial judge did something particularly egregious in applying the law, it is unlikely that his conviction will be overturned on appeal. As it is, he's likely either under house arrest or had his movements curtailed.
A reminder: An appeal is not a retrial, it is a review of the trial judge's application of the law.
And Hovind's overbearing confidence in his own righteousness likely will mean he will go into the courtroom woefully underprepared for the appeal.
@@EnglishMike There's no courtroom appearances in an appeal. It's done entirely via filings and the court record. An appeals court literally can't accept new evidence or testimony, the judgement is entirely based on what was filed and accepted at the trial level.
@@Uldihaa I stand corrected! Thanks :)
@@Uldihaa yeah, sometimes they will appeal that certain available evidence was withheld from defense, or stuff like that, but its basically a review of the process that took place, and deciding whether it was fair and just. It's sad that the deciding factor in many court decisions is how much money the defense has to play the game. Never talk to the police without a lawyer people, even when completely innocent.
@@trybunt As one defense lawyer I know has said often: Everyday Is Shut The Eff Up Friday.
I'm a former Christian. No hatred or hystrionics involved with my leaving. I simply looked at how reality was explained by the Bible and how it was explained by science. The science view made sense. I don't see this as a world of miracles by a benevolent deity or the inverse curses by sinister ruddy horned creatures. I see a non supernatural world.
Great production as always. Thank you so much for working so hard to gather, edit and present this evidence concerning K. Hovind.
I find it disappointing that there's not more restrictions on cultish behavior.
Your ending point about using religion to find people who are more susceptible to that line of thinking makes perfect sense, and is quite topical in todays world too.
Paul, I think you are one of few who can have a conversation with Eric and make him seem like a normal person, knowing all of these things about Kent makes me wonder if Eric ever had a chance.
I adored him growing up. I could quote all of his videos 😤 My friends rightfully thought I was nuts
The one element here that confuses me is Matt Powell. Everybody else in this sordid story is entangled with it long-term in some way - but Powell saw it from the outside and decided to become an intimate part of it. He had to know it would give him ten different kinds of legal exposure - so why did he do it?
MattyP is definitely projecting his biggest insecurities. If I've learned anything from watching people like this over the last few years.
Thanks Paul. You do amazing work.
thank you, Jeff!
This is the hard hitting shit I've been waiting for
Thanks for all that you do.
thank you, GD
I watched these videos to procrastinate from my Engineering degree but this one has gone way beyond what I could even imagine. I'm dumbfounded. It's one thing for fully grown adults to be minipulated, but children are in serious risk at DAL.
That's uhh... what I'm currently doing... thanks for reminding me of my homework 😬
I was waiting for something like this. How often do you see a live-in cult compound without sexual abuse?
Makes me wonder if Jesus had a compound.
@@Iverath It’s widely agreed that he didn’t have a wife or children. Hmmm.
@@pechaa what’s the hmmmm?
@Lex Bright Raven There's a huge hole in the story of his life. So who knows.
@@Iverath each version of Jebus' life has more holes than swiss cheese...
Thanks! I appreciate your efforts.
thank you, Colin
"There goes Pinocchio"!🤣
A Paulogia and Glenn Fricker crossover was NOT something I would ever expect
The way this came about was really by accident. I was up late, when i saw Glenn was streaming, way Out of my timezone. He did session, where he reviewed send ins from viewers, so i submitted my track. Paul just happened to work in a KH video in the same temporal vicinity, so we decided to use the track and a part of glenns reaction was just a nice post credit scene.
@@Sheyvanrocks Great story, I love it when this kind of stuff happens.

Damn, you can hear the emotion and relief in Mark Stoney's voice here.
When I first encountered Kent Hovind I thought he was a comical figure, bad "dad jokes" and a position that could almost be a parody of the young earth creationist argument. The more I discover about him, the more troubled I am, I think above all it is the lack of empathy that Kent displays, no remorse about the child who died at DAL, no consideration about associating with people who were convicted of abuse (I hardly want to type the actual word) and even the way he seems to exploit the people who work on his site. It's good that you shine the spotlight on this subject.
There's no "seem" about it. He absolutely exploits every single person on the site, over and over again.
Logicked - Kent Hovind Advocates Genocide (for Biblical Crimes)
I forgot about Paul singing gospel. That was so groovy.
Great video guys! Kent Hovind shouldn’t talk about an open court case in such a public forum.
I wish people would stop "debating" Ken.
He just wants to add every single "debate" as a notch to his belt, because he is trying to beat someone else's debate record.
The thing he always resorts to is a logical argument from incredulity.
He always ends up saying something like, "are you actually telling me that a pinecone, and an elephant, evolved from the same thing? Come on!"
That musicpiece was the best thing Kent Hovind has ever featured in.
I dunno, the court cases that got him jail time were pretty great.
Anyone else getting late stage Jim Jones and David Koresh vibes?
Great work guys! I'm proud of all of you!
A shepherd is only your friend until you get to the killing floor.
Good job! Sorry for the demonetization.
My contribution was overdue anyway.
greatly appreciated, Chalet
I can't fathom how is it possible that someone so blatantly and obviously hypocritical and overall a terrible person can have so many followers…
BTW, amazing singing voice, dude!
Sorry about the demonitization. Dropped a little in your PayPal.
appreciate
When your sentence starts with “he was playing strip poker with the kids to teach one of the boys a lesson…”, you might as well just stop because nothing good can come from whatever the ending of that sentence was going to be.
Let me try:
"... for the glory of Jesus!"
"...for he works in mysterious ways."
"...for he respects the free will of the child to play strip poker with an adult"
Yeah, these sound rather lackluster, don't they?
Yeah, I made a comment similar to that but it got eaten by RUclips. Words to the effect of "but it's okay because I stopped when I was down to my underpants" does *not* make it okay!
@@Iverath Jesus gonna flip tables over this kinda shit.
Shock horror, the church and child abuse go hand in hand.
Have you heard of the Epstein case? Sounds like child abuse goes hand-in-hand with the world, doesn’t it?
God’s best and request for absolute truth
I've often marveled at the frequent recurrence of child sexual abuse among religious groups, given that they are groups whose expressed values might lead one to think that such behaviors would be rare for them. It makes me wonder if there could be some kind of physiological, neurological link between the mental characteristics that make a person prone to believe in things for which there is absolutely no evidence in ordinary experience or scientific knowledge and the tendency to have sexual obsessions with children. What's the link? There has to be one. It really seems like church groups are just rife with this stuff. Is it sociological or actually something to do with brain architecture or chemistry?
@@donnievance1942 you’re kidding right? Have you ever heard of the Epstein case? Have you heard of all those coming out in Hollywood, the child actors that have been molested? It is called evil human nature. I I love the ignorance of people who try to associate war with religion at this point in history. We had the Soviet union, we had Communist China, Cuba, Cambodia, Vietnam, North Korea. Horrible places that slaughtered millions. Nothing to do with a belief in God or a lack of a belief and a god. It’s all about the human experience. God‘s best on our quest for truth
@@donnievance1942 But there's a strong correlation between schools and naught people, care homes and naughty people, even Hollywood a listers have been abused.
It's just a combination of (mostly) men in power over vulnerable people. There's probably more to it than just that, it's such an unfortunate human trait. So brain chemistry and the enviroment is to blame.
These are the same folks who call LGBT people "groomers" for existing. Every reactionary accusation is a confession.
