OP-ED: Snake Handling is Too Dangerous

Dear Editor

When I read the story about the preacher who was killed handling snakes, just like his father - I got so upset I put out my cigarette, spit out my Jack Daniels and had to scream! I wish the WV Legislature would do their job and ban Snake Handling like other states have done. There is no cause for anyone in this day and age to risk their lives - for something like faith!

I lost my own father recently when he pass away from heart disease, so this really hit close to home. I sit in my easy chair every day watching tv for hours on end -- so I see a lot of this country -- and every state I've seen has banned religious practices like that. Heck, it's only religious freedom and Obama has already put his cross-hairs on that with the Healthcare bill. If the Government can force churches and other religious organizataions to pay for abortions on demand, it can't be that big a deal to get them in line in other areas, too.

Putting your life at risk for faith is something I'll never understand. I don't exercise myself, but why don't these people take up a sport like white-water rafting, sky-diving, golf, diving with sharks, riding ATV's, bungee jumping, parachuting, etc. No one ever died having fun! And if they did, at least it would be worth it.
