![]() Is it possible to petition for this topic to be stickied? Or even put on the main site? Such a challenge needs to be seen.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snake_handling "...In 1998, snake-handling evangelist John Wayne "Punkin" Brown died after being bitten by a timber rattler at the Rock House Holiness Church in rural northeastern Alabama. Members of his family contend that his death was likely due to a heart attack, although his wife had died three years earlier after a snake bite while in Kentucky. Another follower died in 2006 at a church in Kentucky." Obviously their faith wasn't strong enough. Pillocks!

The snakes they use are in the first place totally confused and dazed by being swung around people's heads, bright lights, etc. during the 'rituals' and secondly many snakes often don't actually inject venom, or inject very little, when they bite. It's a precious survival resource that they don't want to waste and only use if they are killing prey to eat or are in deadly danger. A fact that the snake handlers seem to just forget about for some reason. I wonder why churches don't require their members to drink a pint of cyanide to prove that they are 'true' believers? ![]() P.S. I wonder what the health and safety people think of it?
