I can't find anything stating whether this idiot fathered a third generation of snake fodder.

A Pentecostal reverend known for preaching with the help of a rattlesnake coiled around his arm lost his life when one of the creatures suddenly bit him.

Mack Randall Wolford, pastor at the Full Gospel Apostolic House of the Lord Jesus in Matoaka, West Virginia, died hours after receiving the deadly bite on Sunday - the day after his 44th birthday.

Wolford’s father, who was also a serpent-handling pastor, died in the same way nearly 30 years ago.

I wonder what it "means" when the snake bites you?  Just a RSVP from the Lord?

Saw a good show about the neuroscience of belief systems, parts of the brain involved, the chemicals and what not.  In the hooman being, getting bit by the snake will be very powerful OBJECTIVE evidence.  Sadly, its belief systems that tell us what it means.

Scary thought actually.
