Heard about this snake idiocy before

[drfuzzy]

Yep. I got dragged to a lot of "snake handling" speaking in tongues services as a child.  After all, Mark 16:18 says: "they will pick up serpents with their hands; and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them."  And these folks say that every word in the Bible is literally true.

Now, why don't they have arsenic-drinking services, then?  

You should have suggested the poison to them, and told them that they did not have the faith that they pretended to have.  Otherwise, they would do it.

Hey, I was only ten!! My Mother would have insisted I drink the poison first!
