“In a newly discovered video, Pastor Eric Dammann admit to punching a child right in the chest because he didn’t take God seriously. And he considers that an ultimately good thing.
As he recounts the story, there was a ‘real smart-aleck’ at some youth group he was at, a ‘bright kid’ who was ‘just trying to push my buttons and was “not taking the Lord serious.’” *

Wait…what? Pat Robertson had the same scenario, recommending that a parent beat their child for not respecting the religion at a holday gathering. Hummm…Looks like the Christian reich is copying talking points from each other.
Christians sure do like to abuse children…in the name of putting the fear of god in them. Problem is, instead of keeping them out of trouble, abused children end up as angry adults.
It’s sad they thing THEY are the righteous, moral people. Ridiculous hypocrisy.
