It's in the King James Version (among others) so they are stuck with it.
I watched a documentary about snake handling. The holy rollers typically do not feed or water the snakes, after a few weeks the snake is in such bad shape that it may not even inject venom when it bites.
I would be willing to bet this ass hat picked up a snake that had just arrived by mistake, they did not have time to starve it into a stupor.
I am very tolerant of other peoples beliefs, and I typically understand their motivations. I just cant get my head around this, it makes absolutely no sense.
