“They shall take up serpents, and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them;”
I wonder why they’re not fucking with that second part. I guess the ‘if’ makes it conditional on their choice, but they should still be trying. And if the conditional aspect of that one is accounted for, you wonder why they don’t account for there being no ‘if’ in the snake part and do what the book says literally by keeping a serpent on them at all times — at no point is there instruction to put it down.
I don’t want to get upset by these things anymore, nothing I can do to help these people. I just want to know who did that cover version of “Personal Jesus” they played at the end.
Growing up in Alabama, I knew these people were around but I also knew what they did was illegal.
Not a happy ending
god damn, people are stupid.
The Bible tells you to do lots of horrible things.
Stupid religious people.
I know it might sound out there but I would like to visit a church like this , just to watch it for myself .
Absolute morons.
*Salvation on Sand Mountain: Snake Handling and Redemption in Southern Appalachia* is a good read.
That same line in the Bible says,
“They shall take up serpents, and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them;”

I’m not even religious but Id be inclined to go to church just to see the snakes if it was legal for them to practice in my state.

Literally the first part of the Bible is “Don’t Fuck With Snakes”

Snakes are venomous, not poisonous. 00:54
For a solid minute, I was very confused what this had to do with Snake from the MGS series.
