This story is crazy. I never knew snake handling in church was even a thing? This guy I guess was in a reality TV series on the religious practice of snake handling and refused medical treatment after the bite and died. He though if he was bitten it was gods will to have him be bitten and that would be his destiny. I know this can be a touchy topic. I would like to avoid a debate on religion. But did anyone else not know snake handling during church was a thing?
BFP #1 (7/13/12) MC (8/14) 9 weeks. D & C 8/17. BFP #2 (5/18/13) due 1/26/14. Grow baby grow! Its a surprise! Team green!
I grew up in a church that was United Pentecostal similar to the guy in this story, as far as religion goes there will always be those in all parts of the spectrum. I don't associate in any way with that type of belief any more but it still exists.
I live in Tennessee near where that pastor was at. Unfortunately there are more people like this man around. His son is taking over his church and there was another young pastor who was arrested for possessing venomous snakes. I totally don't understand their thought process on this.
