Seems to be a common practice up dere in dem dere hills..... Guess this proves that beliefs are different from place to place..... I am from the south too.... but, have never seen or heard of this until recently...... They call it old time religion..... Maybe I find it strange because I don't understand it.......
I am curious to when and why this ever even started? and if you choose not to handle the snakes in their church what do they think of the members who don't? do they feel that they don't have enough faith in God?
