FYI: Rattlesnakes are poisonous

Mack Wolford, a flamboyant Pentecostal pastor from West Virginia whose serpent-handling talents were profiled last November in The Washington Post Magazine , hoped the outdoor service he had planned for Sunday at an isolated state park would be a “homecoming like the old days,” full of folks speaking in tongues, handling snakes and having a “great time.” But it was not the sort of homecoming he foresaw.
Instead, Wolford, who turned 44 the previous day, was bitten by a rattlesnake he owned for years. He died late Sunday.

As a man of the cloth, he also tried to get his flock to walk on water, moccasins optional.

He should have scaled back his sermon. The snake was getting rattled.

"He believed that the Bible mandates that Christians handle serpents to test their faith in God — and that, if they are bitten, they trust in God alone to heal them"

I handle my snake every day. While it's never bit anyone, it does spit with some regularity.
