Snake-handling pastor dies of snakebite
Friday, June 01, 2012

A US preacher who handled snakes for years to prove faith in God has died of what witnesses say was a timber rattler's bite.

Mark Randall "Mack" Wolford was a pastor at Apostolic House of the Lord Jesus in West Virginia. A photographer and a relative tell media outlets the bite occurred during a service at Panther State Forest.

He died on Monday at Bluefield Regional Medical Centre.

Neither the hospital nor a funeral home handling arrangements would confirm the cause of death, and relatives didn't return phone or email messages on Thursday.

Officials at Cravens-Shires Funeral Home say Wolford's family had asked that the cause of death be withheld.

The state medical examiner refused comment.

I guess he's lost his faith now then?

Same as when the Islamic jihad nutters shout 'Allah Akbah' - then get blown to pieces.
Belief and religion eh ?

You got to admit it is pretty funny when one of these nutters get bit by their pets.

When they lose the faith the old snake knows and zap!

Maybe he'd been visiting TD just before....

For handling un-civil serpents?

No it most definitely is not. Unfortunately the Islamic jihad nutters belief this life is worthless and embrace death, 72 virgins and all that, and don't care who they take with them.
