A one-year-old is forced to fight a neutered cobra during a shocking snake-charming rite of passage in India.

The baby tries to protect itslef while being repeatedly hit by the animal, which has also had its mouth stitched up and its fangs removed.

Sick, beyond belief.

The video is horrendous - babies and little kids getting bitten. Animal Rights people are concerned about the SNAKE; not the children - very sick!

Hey, all cultures are equally valid and all are superior to the Western, Judeo-Christian, paternalistic, hegemony that rules the world by force.

The pagans(now converted to liberals)have never gotten over mother earth being replaced by Jesus.

This, my friends, is the true face of what we battle in this era where the past is stubbornly dragging its heels as the future strains to move us forward to higher, drier ground; there is no way to reconcile existing cultures without melding them; yet now we hear nonsense such as, “in diversity there is unity.”

Coming soon to a Multiculturalist Indoctrination Center (or public school—is there a difference?) near you.

“in diversity there is unity.”

LOL!

Show how ILLOGICAL people have become!

Opposing ideologies NEVER UNITE anyone.

UNLESS you ban what draws them apart - such as Christianity which has BOUNDARIES.

This ritual is designed to prepare the child for life in the software field, facing mad bosses, impossible deadlines, and lawyers.

But sounds physically harmless even though bizarre as hell. Said snake has mouth sewed shut. Snake is reduced to what it can do by wriggling its body. Unless it’s a constrictor type snake, probably not much room for damage.

This is what happens when you let animals around babies.

And the snake doesn’t look too happy either.

“Pentecostal rattlesnake handlers ring any bells for you?”

Just as idiotic and barely practiced in the U.S..

Enough uproar about the insanity of it curbed it.

No one, should tempt God like that - tells me something about their unChristian beliefs.

There’s one picture where the Cobra is curled around the body of the baby pecking at the head of the baby.

Shameful ... .

Perhaps common sense stepped in or maybe, just maybe someone read the Bible ... . That is totally un Biblical and unChristian.

A passage in Mark, near the last Chapter/s, IIRC, but maybe I am wrong.

They think it biblical and Christian. For them it is proof.

They can “think” what they like but it is not Biblical to tempt God like that.

I’d be curious about the passage they twist up like a pretzel to justify this craziness.
