A case of domestic violence in the woods

I tend to post on clergy sexual abuse and bypass the rest of the arrests that clog my inbox. This one caught my eye though. It involves a pastor, his adult daughter, a handgun, and of course, the cops. 

A Beaver County pastor is facing charges that he assaulted his grown daughter during a family fight Thursday morning in Raccoon Creek State Park, state police said.

 

The Rev. Darrell Cashdollar, 59, was carrying a gun in a wooded area of the park, so rangers called state police to the scene. Police monitored the area with helicopters and set up a perimeter until the incident de-escalated.

Pastor Cashdollar… wtf? Cashdollar was charged with simple assault and harassment plus his carry permit was revoked. Cashdollar works at the Paris Church of the Nazarene in Burgettstown, Washington County, Pa. I'm betting he's standing in front of his church right now. Slapping your daughter around is biblical, right?

Commenting on things to which you do not have full information on is just as stupid.

of course non-Christians NEVER do things like this right? And, if there is no God or moral standard, what difference does it make, hmm? Do not get me wrong, if as stated he is very wrong, and I am very saddened since I know this family, but it is interesting HOW those without faith judge and love when someone with faith falls. By the way, no he was not a rich pastor, he pastored a small congregation, and worked to support himself and in the past has been a very good citizen.

There is no atheist equivalent to a pastor, so we cannot measure apples to apples. A pastor is supposed to be a moral teacher and moral leader, thus when they fall it is notable simply because of the hypocrisy involved. It is incorrect to link morality to the worship of God. Morality is a social construct and atheists are full participants. We are not excused from keeping the same standards as others in our society simply because we do not believe.

I am not judging, I am reporting facts. There is a huge difference. I also do this to show that Christians do not have a lock on morality. That believing in the bible does not make one moral. And, that asserting that atheists are amoral is completely wrong.

Another thing� Christians make up 80% of American. Prisons are populated by believers at a rate of 99%. Show me an avowed atheist beating his daughter and I'll gladly report it. It simple does not happen at the same rate, or even close to the same rate, as pastoral misconduct.
