'Serpent-Handling' West Virginia Pastor Dies From Snake Bite

Is it wrong that I laughed as soon as I read the headline?

Serious question here... Are preachers allowed to receive a Darwin award?

A "serpent-handling" West Virginia pastor died after his rattlesnake bit him during a church ritual...

Mark 16: 17-18 reads, "And these signs shall follow them that believe: In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues. 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."

So, the quicker these folks quit handling snakes and start drinking anti-freeze, the quicker this whole problem goes away...

my thoughts exactly. Sounds like some of Darwins better work. He misses so many other times and ways, but this time his pit viper like heat sensing was spot on.... even with a rattle warning he still managed to get tagged. Like a deer in headlights.
