This was completely unjustified. The pastor had no chance to explain himself. People cannot go around beating other people because they think that maybe they might be doing something wrong.

but! he was a pastor so I say he deserved a beating on principle alone.

Beating a guy with an air hose isn't Christ-like either. Jesus didn't even know what air-hoses were, let alone how to use one as a weapon.

I agree with the guy. Christ soooo would not have texted his wife.
"It quits texting the wife or else it gets the hose again."

I forgot I never chimed in.

I did laugh when the guy said it wasn't "Christ-like" for the pastor to be texting his wife. Neither were his actions. But sending text messages to a member of the congregation is never okay. Take a look at the comments on that article. Yes, it's possible that someone is on there making shit up trying to give the pastor a bad name, but I don't imagine it's very likely. He even said himself there are several accusations out there. Accusations don't just appear out of thin air.

Live from the scene:
"Thou shalt not covet thy neighbors wife, alright asshole?"
Smash
"Thou shalt not covet thy neighbors wife.
slap
"Thou shalt not covet thy neighbors wife.
Smash
"Hey you with the camera... you want in on this?"

Gotta love that. Preacher shouldn't have been texting any one The man probably had good reason to believe that the preacher was attempting to covet his wife.

I don't condone it... but I think its funny.
