ATLANTA (AP) Megachurch pastor and televangelist Creflo Dollar was arrested early Friday after authorities say he slightly hurt his 15-year-old daughter in a fight at his metro Atlanta home.
Fayette County Sheriff's deputies responded to a call of domestic violence at the home in unincorporated Fayette County around 1 a.m., Investigator Brent Rowan said. The 50-year-old pastor and his daughter were arguing over whether she could go to a party when Dollar "got physical" with her, leaving her with "superficial injuries," Rowan said.
Dollar faces misdemeanor charges of simple battery and cruelty to children. He bonded out of Fayette County jail Friday morning. Dollar's lawyer Nikki Bonner said he's gathering information on the case and had no comment.

Having said that, I haven't ever listened to him to judge his preaching. I just get irritated reading people that believe God wants you poor and destitute because you couldn't possible use your wealth for anything good. Much of what churches do takes some money. Being Godly and poor doesn't get much done spreading the Gospel. The problem comes when God gives you money and you turn from Him because you think you no longer need Him. For a real Christian, money is just a tool to spread the Gospel. Having money isn't the end all, but using your money for treasure in Heaven. If you won't steward His money now, why would God give you more?
