Indiana church creates ‘humorous’ warning video of girl beaten with bat for ‘talking back’

An Indiana church has apologized for creating what it said was supposed to be a “humorous” video of two girls being beaten for breaking rules set by the pastor.

According to Addicting Info, the Colonial Hills Baptist Church youth program Youth E.D.G.E. Indy created the video to teach 7th graders to obey church rules. The blog Stuff Fundies Like reported that the video was originally posted to the youth group’s Facebook page, but was removed after complaints about violence against women.

After a girl tells him to “Shut up,” the pastor picks up a plastic “baseball bat” and beats her until she appears lifeless.

Later in the video, Utley beats a second girl with the “baseball bat” because she failed to put a pizza box in the trash can.

I see. I think it may have been St Thomas who dictated the limb you beat your wife with should be no bigger than your thumb. For heavens sake you only need to leave bruises and contusions on the skin....not break any bones

Thanks for bringing this to our attention..
