#SnakeHandling
new snakehandling just dropped
I don’t usually cover breaking news, but this story is truly wild.

A pastor in central PA brought an AR-15 to church and pointed it at people during his sermon. Gun safety experts and internet commentators are, predictably, not happy!

Dauphin County pastor under fire for pointing assault-style rifle during sermon
In a move experts called a serious safety violation, he pointed the unloaded weapon at churchgoers, while asking for a 'violent action of faith.'

*old snakehandling rebooted, I bet there's hundreds of us just on Bluesky
Yeah, this was in Dallas in the late 90s, but we had 4 armed men come in with real unloaded guns, and take a few of us aside. Said they were here to kill believers, and asked if we were believers. After we all said "Yes", they unmasked themselves as dads from church.

The thing that’s so fascinating about an American Pope is that, generally speaking, American nuns are cool and American priests are weird, wannabe protestants who see “Latin” as their personal form of snakehandling.

Uh oh, back to snakehandling evangelicalism for JD

At least snakehandling is in the Bible, AR-15s aren't

Definitely curious enough to see if our not Presbyterian/methodist/baptist/catholic Christian churches do snakehandling now.
People here tend to HATE rattlensakes, but I'm curious enough to check now

A celebratory cake because I met my first deadline for THE SERPENT ON THE MOUNTAIN! I think more of my heart is in this book than any other I’ve written, and I’m so excited for it to be out in the world next year.

"Genesis 3:4" by Rachel More — a stunning story of faith, snakes, and sacred performance.

It's either snakehandling/laying on of hands or [to the Literal Pope] "who died and made you the Pope??"

I grew up Catholic, and much of my moral life is still influenced by that upbringing. And one of the major things they hammered home to me was the "preferential option for the poor." People like Vance, these carpetbagger converts from snakehandling cults, know nothing of true Catholic teaching.

Celebrating visits to "Church of the Lord Jesus with signs following," famous for their snake handling worship services and "Big Spy Mountain " overlook on the Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia
Visited both in another life.

The lord works in mysterious ways. Probably because most people worship made-up bullshit.

Both cults are weird. Is Ali doing any snakehandling?

Tell me you’ve never met someone Catholic but your snakehandling friends have Definite Thoughts.

I don't know, his Catholicism and love for Tolkien seem like devil stuff to a lot of decent Chreestians.

#Snakehandlers: call your representatives and let them know that #Snakehandling is the only choice for usa's officially accepted sect of #Christianity

Prove your devotion!

#Amen 🐍

Is this book part of the batshit crazy series?

"Snakehandling for chickens"

"Computers, the Antichrist's connection to you"

"Oligarchs, God's gifts"

Oh the snakehandling Pentecostals are also bonkers, but they're usually not handling anything more exotic than a rattlesnake. Most hospitals can get ahold of that antivenom.

This dude was fucking around with an Australian species that's many times more poisonous than the nastiest rattler.
