Darwin Awards require “excellence” in the event, and some degree of uniqueness. The person in question can survive but must be unable to reproduce.

Did the rattler bite him in the nuts?

My MIL’s funeral was preached by a snake-handling preacher. No snakes were involved.
So using their own logic, when his dad (Pastor Coots) was bitten, he was found wanting and paid the penalty (died). Maybe his faith was a strong as he believed.
“Brother Wendy, if the Lord told you to take up the serpent you wouldn't do it?”
“Yes ma'am I surely would. But He hasn't, and I ain't!”
Pastor Cody is very lucky that a HUGE strong man in overalls hauled him off to the hospital. Pastor Cody is an idiot, he needs to find a preaching job that doesn’t include venomous snakes.
Never understood the snake handlers. I know that God has saved me from many things during my life, including times when my life was in danger. That doesn’t make me want to tempt Him further by playing with a venomous reptile.
It’s not about being sinless at all
Some of it is like 1700s working class English....Northern England ...Manchester maybe or York
Appalachia does that ...
There was snake handling revivals from north Alabama Sand Mountain to West Virginia when I was little
My wife....middle TN .. went to one and her dad had a fight at the preacher claiming it was wrong to tempt God
Handlers are trying to prove they trust God to protect them based on the strength of their fatith
I don’t get it
Course I’m from Mississippi
If you really want to be brave handle cottonmouths
You can lull a rattler or copperheads
Not so a cotton mouth
The chihuahua of venomous snakes....very bite prone and ubiquitous where I grew up and our southeastern diamondbacks were thick boys...like calf think almost
Handle this one
sweet cotton mouth
Thank you.
So... is he full of sin because the got sick because of the bite?
Yeah. we’re supposed to be snake charmers, too.
Did you watch the video in the story specifically at the 2:15 mark?
Another fake bites the dust.
Yes that too is where I noticed it.....that choppy sound and then liiiiiiiiiife
There are roots to the distinctness of Appalachia tones and pronunciations
I mean, WHY...
Venomous snakes are not toys.
You have that right.
Yes, there is a difference btwn God promising certain miracles will occur, and presuming they must occur, and In colloquial kid talk, "forcing it."
Idiot......
