That shit hits pretty close to home for you then. Handling dangerous snakes because you believe they'll only bit you if you're not right with the lord .. that is not reasonable. Do it because you just like reptiles and don't mind taking chances, okay, you're weird but not necessarily beyond the pale.
I guess it is one way of being a little show-offy about the strength of your faith.
One of those idiots dropped a copperhead in my lap one time. Before it knew what was going on I'd grabbed it and threw it back at him. He squealed like a little girl.
