** Baable Thumpin' Snake Handler DIES in Church -- God's Will ** LOL! |
(AP) A woman died after being bitten by a snake during a serpent-handling service at
church, police said.
Linda Long, 48, of London, Ky., died Sunday at University of Kentucky Medical Center, Brad
Mitchell, a detective with the Laurel County Sheriff's Office said Tuesday.
Long died about four hours after the bite was reported, the Lexington Herald-Leader
reported.
Officials said Long attended East London Holiness Church. Neighbors of the church told the
newspaper the church practices serpent handling.
Snake handling is based on a passage in the Bible from the Gospel of Mark that says a sign
of a true believer is the power to "take up serpents" without being harmed.
Handling reptiles as part of religious services is illegal in Kentucky. Snake handling is
a misdemeanor and punishable by a $50 to $100 fine. Police said they had not received
reports about snake handling at the church.
Lt. Ed Sizemore of the Laurel County Sheriff's Office said friends went with Long to a
local hospital Sunday afternoon, before she was transferred to the university hospital.
Church officials could not be reached for comment.

And I'm sure he accepted while kicking and screaming. Goodness knows no
man in their right mind would want to be the meat filling in a woman
sandwich. :-)

She was probably planning on voting for a Democrat the following
Tuesday and this was God's way of "fixing the election" for his party.

A fundie? Odds are she was planning on voting for the party her
preacher told her she had to vote for or go straight to hell - the
straight Republican ticket. I guess the intent is as good as the
deed, and the preacher misread the memo.

Worst part is, her friends and family will say that
it just shows she wasn't a true believer.
