A well known Oklahoma pastor was attacked Sunday while giving the alter call at his church.

Pastor Billy Joe Daugherty of Victory Christian Center in Tulsa was almost knocked out when 50-year-old Steven Rogers walked forward and punched him during the time when people were joining the church.

As the music played, without warning, the man punched Daugherty in the face. Before he could land a knockout blow, he was yanked away. With blood pouring down his face, Daugherty kept on preaching and forgiving.

Rogers was hauled off to jail after allegedly hitting two more people, including a security guard. The pastor now has a black eye and stitches three days after the altercation that was caught on tape.

No one knows why Rogers attacked Daugherty. Church representatives say Rogers was bused to the service from a local mission. After his arrest they found

Mentally ill.

I wouldn't be suprised if it was someone influenced by the ACLU or similar groups.

When Christmas is coming up, it's open season on Christians.

OK, I HIGHLY recommend checking out this video. The guy's arrest photo is priceless, as is the keyboardist who keeps singing and playing while she watches her Pastor get beat down!

How about, Help! Get this guy!? Nope, just music to scuffle by..

I'll go check to see if he's bragging about it to his buddies at the DUmp.

Interesting video.

The pastor walked away after he was punched. Almost like he turned the other cheek after he was hit. Very gracious of him.

I'm not a violent man - but rest assured, I likely would have struck this guy in return after having been punched.

I know for a fact that a similar thing
happened recently in a small SB Church
in the MS Delta. There were no mentally
ill or other democrats present. Just
a bunch supposedly well meaning "Christians"

[wardaddy]

I woulda sure tried unless he knocked me out or was some John Matuszak-Ving Rhames looking maniac...then it would be feets don't fail me now

[MplsSteve]

LOL!

[Sax]

Yeah, they guy definitely rolled with it! Good to see him practice what he preaches. I'd have been trying to stomp him while issuing forth a stream of obscenities!

[wardaddy]

We had a very prominant SBC preacher here in nashville get into a well publicized fisticuff at a softball game ....

...the reactions were mixed

[wardaddy]

lol...matuszak sure dates me don't it...(RIP, John)

[MplsSteve]

Where is the virtue in allowing someone to use you as a punching bag?

There's none that I can see.

[johniegrad]

The preacher interviews well. Kudos to him. The MI guy has fast hands.

People tend forget Preachers are only humans.
