We'd have more snake handlers but Kentucky made it a misdemeanor to use a reptile in a religious service ( no joke ).
;-)
That's sad. While I don't agree with the theological basis of snake-handling as a sign of Christian faith, I see no point in outlawing the practice. In truth, snake-handling is just another form of religious theater. Churches have all kinds of gimmicks to get people to come, and I see no point in banning that one.
