"Handling reptiles as part of religious services is illegal in Kentucky."

How is this legal? Serpent (or snake) handling is an important part of Christianity, and was written up in the Gospel according to Mark:

41:016:016 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that
believeth not shall be damned.

41:016:017 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name
shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;

41:016:018 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.

41:016:019 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received
up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.

You'd think that the Separation of Church and State would preclude anti-Christian laws.

No it isn't.

Less than one thousandth of one percent of self-professed Christians are stupid enough to engage in this silly practice.

They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them;

So why son't they chug Drano instead of bothering the poor snakes?

And it's not an anti-Christian law. It's an anti-stupidity law.
