A Baptist pastor from New Jersey told a story to his congregation of how he punched a “smart alec” kid in the chest to teach him a lesson.
The pastor, Eric Dammann, recounted how the youth was trying to “push my buttons” and “not taking the Lord serious.”
While the pastor freely posted the portion of the sermon on YouTube, it has lead to thousands of commenters on the site attacking the pastor for his actions.
The video has been views 1.8 million times and has generated over 7,000 comments and 12,000 “thumbs down.”
