This one didn't die, though.

I can only guess that if you're the sort of person who believes in this stupidity, you're the sort of person who is going to believe that this isn't a sign from your god that you're not doing it right.

As annoying as the snake handling thing is, if some mullahs announced a fatwa commanding it for all believers of allah, I wouldn't be too upset.

Oh, I would only ever encourage people like this. They're doing the rest of the gene pool a huge favor.

I dunno - seems like most of the fatalities manage to breed first.

They're doing it all wrong! They first have to cast out demons, then speak in new tongues before taking up the serpents. Then they can go on to drink poison and lay hands on the sick and heal them. Don't they ever read the Bible? They have to do it all in the specified order!

Yeah, but it does prevent future accidents.

Breeding resistance to snake venom (like mongooses have) into the human race might be a net positive ??

Presumably if enough of them try it, a successful mutation might arise. And it would be curiously humorous if some anti-Darwinian fundamentalists demonstrated evolution this way.
