Sadly its exactly what the show producers were looking for so they can use it to show the failure of Christian faith in God. While I personally think snake handling is foolish, I do understand the faith behind it.
My message for liberals over this is that God doesn’t guarantee that I won’t be harmed or that life will be perfect. God’s guarantee is for the afterlife and I have to try to keep up my end of the bargain in this world.
Of the three or four threads on this topic this is one of the more well reasoned and well written posts.
Amen.
Has anyone noticed that the “Educational” Cable (all connected, by the way) have a plethora of shows that try to lampoon and ridicule White Rural Americans? Some of them backfire, as the characters become BELOVED by the public! LOL! Here is a partial list of “Reality” Shows that attempt to lampoon White Christian Rural Americans to some degree.
Duck Dynasty
Swamp People
Appalachian Outlaws
Moonshiners
Breaking Amish
Amish Mafia
Cajun Pawn Stars
Counting Cars
Pawn Stars
American Pickers
Bars, Dives, and Diners
Restaurant Do-Over Shows
Snake Salvation
Hoarders-Buried Alive
Ax-Men
Bounty Hunter
Not all of these shows ridicule their characters, but do show them as “quirky”. Here are some reality shows we will probably NEVER see:
Harlem Hustlin’
Hip Hop Death Squad
Baby Mama
Baby Daddies
Asian Gang Wars
Crossing the Border
Crack House
No Habla Ingles
Black Urban Church Escape
American Negro Minister Personality Cult
Bath House
Bug Chasers
Hustlin’ Race
Just sayin’......
Exactly. Same reason Westboro get so much press-they want people to think this is what Christianity is about.
