"Snakebite evangelism' was a trend with a very powerful message for the faithful, that you could be bitten by a poisonous snake and survive is a test of faith that God is protecting you.
While obvious truth is that if you get bitten by a poisonous snake and live, you're a witch and must be burned alive.
So right! Context is everything.
There's a part 2 to this! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ewdisyzk4k The guy's own dad got bit by a snake and died in 7 minutes. You'd think that would be a big enough lesson. Dude goes through a long recovery and still... "there is nobody that could get me to stop snakin'... not my kids, no mah wahfe, not nobody." Fucking dingus.
Par excellence with this find
That Big Code is a mensch.
Unclear on mensch and how it bears on this?
I bet a snake could get him to stop.
What I read the snakebite preachers are supposed to do is secretly milk the snake's venom before the service.
This is why I am a Orthodox Snake Handler- All the smoke from the incense make the snakes sleepy. Partrios, Dominos, Snakios
poisonous or venomous?
Ha ha fuck you're right
"Sorry, Homer, I was born a snake handler and I'll die one...right now."
Darwin approves.
