Could someone please explain to me what is going on in these videos?

http://www.patheos.com/blogs/friendlyatheist/2017/04/25/what-sort-of-weird-mop-slapping-new-church-ritual-is-this/

Since when do christian pastors bash their congregation in the face with a mop?

These are just crazy heads, they fuck it up for every organization (read: Islamic terrorists, hyper conservative evangelicals, etc). I can't promise you, mop bashery is not part of the Good Book. But, it makes for a great clip.

The most extreme elements of an organization are usually the definition of said organization, to those with little knowledge of the true ideology of the organization. I see it on CNN and Fox, it's a fault of rhetoric.Its not partisan, I mean. Religions are full of rhetoric, same.principles apply. Jesus was the best rhetorician that has walked the Earth, it would be dishonest to deny this.

ROFL

First, Jesus never existed

Second, biblical quotes are far from profound (some are quite horrifying)... the bible is not known as a literary work of art by any stretch of the imagination

Darwin never existed.

There is evidence that such a person really existed, but too many myths were invented about him.
