I Don't Like Spiders And Snakes...
So goes the song.
Of course you can have a blind faith but then there is stupidity...
I don't think that I can add much to this story.

Don't be so hard on him Gildy, he has been doing it all his life and been bitten 3 times before so I guess he had a good run.
I'm afraid I'm with Gildy on this. He (not Gildy!) was asking for trouble.
Yes, sooner or later his luck was going to run out. Am I wrong but isn't your body supposed to build up some kind of immunity the more you are bitten?
I'm not in hurry myself to find out...
I tend to think of Jesus as a pretty unassuming kind of person, wise and slow to anger. I just cant imagine him going in for all this theatrics and drama and so to me this is not the kind of Christianity that would be for me.
Just like all Muslims feel they are lumped together with terrorism, I think Christians feel the same way, that these barmy fundies tar all of us with the same brush, whereas most of us are just struggling to get through and clinging on like everyone else, just quietly practicing our faith with no loud fanfare or bigoted views.
You mess with snakes, you get bitten eventually - end of.

I know that snakes do what they do as any animal will...I don't want anything to do with them...and I tend to agree with your views regarding religion.
My relative in Australia said he believes in God but not perhaps as any religion portrays it and how each tries to say it is the correct one and all others are wrong.
None of us knows really what God is like. My Mum had a faith that you could not shake no matter what was thrown her way...
I have my faith but I do have times where I question and doubt my faith. I'd like not to be that way but I cannot change things.
My Father had a strong faith like Mum...but that still doesn't mean that you don't get scared or frightened.
I remember a time when he blacked out and he was scared when he was ill.
There is a series on the radio at present in 20 parts weekdays 1.45pm(Omnibus edition on Fridays 9pm)on Radio 4(available on line)presented by a Bishop and he is looking at faith and how we battle between believing and doubt. And that's someone who has spent his life giving comfort to many.
