Um,
Not my problem.
The Bible Christers are free to announce a revelation and scribe a new text should they find petrol, strychnine and radium unpalatable, otherwise they are stuck with what they have. They should be forced (and PROUD!!) to live (heh, heh) their professed faith, sincerely, for their recognition by the government.

This stupidity happens when the scriptures are taken literally, poisons mean worldly things, these are seen as poisoning to the soul. Handling vipers only means how we handle the so called poison ones who are sinners, if we are one with God, nothing can harm us, if the body is killed then it doesn't matter, because the body isn't our true self.

I'm a big fan of Literalism (for the Christers).

It can be very hard to tell what is meant literally, and what is meant metaphorically. You would think some things just shouldn't be taken literally, lest you die an early painful death. Unfortunately these kinds of people really don't care about this life. they're told not to care about this life, so why should they care if they die early?

How donwee I know the participants are not paid actors?
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

They say it tastes like irn-bru, so they may actually be sincere...
"Every luxury has a deep price. Every indulgence, a cosmic cost. Each fiber of pleasure you experience causes equivalent pain somewhere else. This is the first law of emodynamics [sic]. Joy can be neither created nor destroyed. The balance of happiness is constant.
Fact: Every time you eat a bite of cake, someone gets horsewhipped.
Facter: Every time two people kiss, an orphanage collapses.
Factest: Every time a baby is born, an innocent animal is severely mocked for its physical appearance. Don't be a pleasure hog. Your every smile is a dagger. Happiness is murder.
Vote "yes" on Proposition 1321. Think of some kids. Some kids."

My thoughts exactly.
If we can't attract them to atheism thru reason and logic, make them experience their religion to the fullest. If they fail to survive the experience that's tough shit.
It can serve as a lesson to the rest that believing stupid crap can be fatal.
