'Snake Salvation' Pastor Dies Hilariously Ironic Death

[Zen Badger]

Only the sick of mind and heart would find a death hilarious, yes I mean you Ryan.

I find it hysterically hilarious GC.

This good little Christian demonstrating his devotion and faith in god and god just says LOL, fuck you.

It's almost like your god doesn't protect his own, or even exist.

"You play with fire, you're going to get burned." It's not rocket science people. No, god is NOT going to help you. Prove me wrong.

[Whateverist]

Actually I just saw this on the news and the son plans to take over the dad's ministry.

So there is hope of removing still more of that gene pool? Too bad this sort breeds like rabbits. Poor snakes can't keep up.

Or possibly that 'true' Christians just don't have a clue regarding the proper way to read the bible.

Son to take over snake handling.

Let's ignore for the moment the fact that this guy is taking over a job that just killed his father. What I want to know is how they are going to spin the father's death and keep the belief that if you have enough faith, you won't die handling snakes. It seems to me that the only way to salvage the church's beliefs is to shit on his father's faith.

Maybe they'll pull an L Ron Hubbard and say he's just levelled up.

Let's hope the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

That's actually not bad. They could say that he was so holy that god chose to bring him home via snake bite in order to bring about the national attention it's receiving.

His choice seems to indicate that it doesn't.

I don't know about that. Some of these are pretty gosh darn funny!

Here are a couple highlights I found:

455 BC: Aeschylus, the great Athenian author of tragedies. Valerius Maximus wrote that he was killed by a tortoise dropped by an eagle that had mistaken his head for a rock suitable for shattering the shell of the reptile. Pliny, in his Naturalis Historiæ, adds that Aeschylus had been staying outdoors to avert a prophecy that he would be killed by a falling object

1871, Clement Vallandigham, a lawyer and Ohio politician defending a man on a charge of murder, accidentally shot himself demonstrating how the victim might have shot himself while in the process of drawing a weapon when standing from a kneeling position. Though the defendant, Thomas McGehan, was ultimately cleared, Vallandigham died from his wound

1958: Gareth Jones, actor, collapsed and died between scenes of a live television play, Underground, at the studios of Associated British Corporation in Manchester. Director Ted Kotcheff continued the play to its conclusion, improvising around Jones' absence. Coincidentally, Jones' character was to have a heart-attack, which is what Jones suffered and died of

1993: Garry Hoy, a 38-year-old lawyer in Toronto, fell to his death on 9 July 1993, after he threw himself against a window on the 24th floor of the Toronto-Dominion Centre in an attempt to prove to a group of visitors that the glass was "unbreakable," a demonstration he had done many times before. The glass did not break, but popped out of the window frame.

How can anyone say these deaths aren't hilarious?

[Cyberman]

What takes that last one to the next level is that he actually threw himself at the window twice - the first time the window stayed put, so he did it again.

There's no replacement for common sense, lol!
