A southeastern Kentucky law enforcement officer said a woman was bitten by a snake during church and died.

I don’t even feel sorry for her, either… does that make me heartless?

You may ask yourself: “Self, how can people be so stupid as to play with a Timber Rattlesnake in a church?

Snake handling is based on a passage in the Bible, in the Gospel of Mark, that said a sign of a true believer is the power to “take up serpents” without being harmed.

That’s how.
