Heard about this snake idiocy before
Another devout idiot dead because he handled snakes. Funnily enough I read about it on the webpage of our public tv network, which pointed me to the Guardian.

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.

Some sect in India handles deadly serpents with no problems.

What is wrong with our Christers that they can't believe as hard as some third world pagans that won't even go to the bathroom to poop ?
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

"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."

His soul is under the big celestial altar with the others who are waiting for the magic number to be reached so that Jesus will return and destroy the Earth.
