              This almost beats (but not quite imho): Custody of 'snake-bite orphans' split between grandparents[^] NEWPORT, Tennessee (CNN) -- A judge ruled Friday that grandparents will share the custody of five children whose parents both died handling snakes during church services. During the school year, maternal grandmother Mary Goswick will have custody of the children, Jonathan, 12; Jacob and Jeremiah, 7; Sarah, 5; and Daniel, 4, the juvenile court judge ordered. His ruling said that the paternal grandparents, John and Peggy Brown, who also believe in handling serpents, can have custody of the children during the summer and during holidays as long as they don't take the children to services where snakes are handled. The Browns, who have their own snake-handling church in Marshall, North Carolina, have admitted that they have already taken the children to a snake-handling service, in violation of a previous order from the judge, but said they would refrain in the future. Their son, John Wayne "Punkin" Brown Jr., a preacher from Parrottsville, Tennessee, had been bitten more than 20 times over an 18-year period before he suffered a fatal snake bite in an Alabama church last October. He was 34. His 28-year-old wife, Melinda, mother of their five children, died of a bite in 1995 at a religious revival in Kentucky. The book of Mark in the Bible's New Testament calls serpent handling one of the "signs" that true believers must follow. The practice is most common here in Kentucky, at least that is where I started my google search "kentucky snake bite service" You can find loads more of these.

                            It rains on the just and the unjust. Ignorance is no excuse. Neither God nor Darwin had nothing to do with it.

                                    Mark 16:18: "They shall take up serpents, and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover." See Snake Handling in the Pentecostal Church: The Precedent Set by George Hensley[^] for more information. I guess you either didn't attend or weren't paying attention in bible school. Also of interest, note that this is the only place in the new testament that talks of being able to 'lay hands' used by all the televangelists, thus, if they are able to lay hands on the sick and heal them, then by reference they must also be able to drink poison and be bitten by snakes, hence the snake biting cult. And no, I do not smoke anything.

                                      Mark 16:18: "They shall take up serpents, and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover." See Snake Handling in the Pentecostal Church: The Precedent Set by George Hensley[^] for more information. I guess you either didn't attend or weren't paying attention in bible school. Also of interest, note that this is the only place in the new testament that talks of being able to 'lay hands' used by all the televangelists, thus, if they are able to lay hands on the sick and heal them, then by reference they must also be able to drink poison and be bitten by snakes, hence the snake biting cult. And no, I do not smoke anything.

                                      No, it was just taken so out of context that I didn't recognize the reference. I do also remember: "do not put the lord your god to the test." I guess they missed that one.

                                        I take it you aren't a Baptist or Pentecostal... Cause where I went to church growing up, they whole-heartedly believed in 'laying on hands' ... which by the way is a form of putting a deity to a test, and yet wouldn't drink the poison or be bitten by the snakes: hence the snake biting cults. In any event, this is definitely one of my more favorite examples of where a certain religious text/quoted person essentially say the exact opposite; and therefore it is impossible for an intellectually honest person to derive any meaning from said works.
