Once again, another religious loon kills himself handling rattlesnakes, now explain how snake dancing differs from any other pagan ritual? Once again dancing off into ad hominems are just weak attempt at ignoring the main gist of the post by pretending its not there?
This is an example of how we look at things from anthropology & an evolutionary pov, in just what way does this ritual differ from any neolithic tribe dancing for the return of the buffalo herd, or worshiping the sun or believe that the mountain or animal spirit will enter them & offer direction? Because you inserted the magic word in the name of "Jesus"?
This isn't in some jungle in the Amazon, or plains of South Dakota or off a tributary of the Nile, or prominatory in some Greek isles, its right here in Kentucky, USA, human beings dancing with poison vipers, what does this tell you of the nature of religion?
If you can't keep up, go sit in the corner and keep silent, this is an evolution thread. Perhaps send his wife some donation, fellow didnt even life insurance, he's gone to the happy hunting grounds, and we see its no different from any other pagan, neolithic belief.
