There's an AP story today about the guy who died while handling
snakes for jeebus. I linked to Jerry Coyne's dry summary of the event in
the post below. In the AP story, there's this gem from a witness:
"I don't think anyone necessarily expected it," she told the newspaper, "but they've dealt with it before so it's not such a huge shock, maybe."
It's just a normal day at the office for these folks. Dimwits, one and all. Here's a quote from the guy who died:
"I know it's real; it is the power of God," Wolford told The Washington Post Magazine last year. If he hadn't started handling snakes after returning to his church, he said, "it'd be the same as denying the power and saying it was not real."
Indeed. And now you're dead. That's what's real.
