The more of this shit I hear, the more I think that these guys were either failed stand-up comedians or failed motivational speakers. And depending on which denomination, becoming a pastor is about as difficult as getting a drivers license, and takes about the same amount of time.

But then again, judging by his punch, that kid must've been at least 8 feet tall..

Nice.

If only all redditors used their power for this kind of good..

Stars for Anita.

Anyway, based on the pastors I've known personally, this guy is most likely full of shit. There was never a punch. There was never even a kid.

Lying is a sin, unless you lie for the Lord.

All these young smart people not talking theology seriously.....

Indoctrination is so much harder on those kids with triple digit IQs, gotta punch em till the number goes down.

Seriously, I expected to see this asshole break out some holy Hokuto Shinken on a smart-aleck kid. Instead it's just another bullshit anecdote from what looks to be another painfully drawn-out, awkward analogy-ridden sermon. If I wanted that, I'd have actually gone to church this Sunday.

Amen, brother!

Call me old fashioned, but when I see a video entitled "Pastor Punches Kid the Chest", I expect to see a pastor punching a kid in the chest, not this talking bullshit.

Long ago, I was playing piano for a church, and there was a guest speaker. Young guy, real energetic, like this guy. He tells me to come up to the front of the church during his message. He tells me to lie face down on the floor. At this point I think refusing would make me look like an asshole to everyone, so I do it. He put his foot on my back and proceeds to go into a spiel about the devil holding people down (I realized that he asked me because I was easily the youngest guy there, and just assumed it wouldn't be a problem for me). Fortunately it didn't last too long, but after I got up I was horribly embarrassed. I was very tempted to never go back there again, but they needed a pianist and I didn't have the heart to just quit. Anyway, yeah, fundies are crazy.
