It goes to show that Mark 16:9 onwards is all made up. I've seen Christians drink 'deadly poisons' and they get drunk just like I would.
It's things like these that I don't understand. How is it possible for any Christian to take the Bible literally if there's direct evidence such as what you have provided and even the casual alcoholic drink that shows these supernatural aspects aren't real?

Darwin award!
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan
Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.

People who handle poisonous snakes and drink poison do not understand their scriptures and test God. The LORD said not to test Him. Bad things can happen.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
