“the snakes and poison .... apparently there are a handful of people who do those things .... I think they're nuts. Only a nut would think God wants people to drink poison or handle poisonous snakes.

You entirely miss the point and change it. The quotation is this:

"17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;

 18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover."


It was not a "temptation"--it was A PROMISE

Do you have evidence that ALL believing Christians survive poisonous snake bites while hiking in the desert??

AND...

When you OR your Village Idiot Lover lay hands on the sick--do the sick always (or ever) recover??

IDIOT!
