If money is the root of all evil, why do Pat and Jerry beg for it 24/7?

Edit: The Devil made Pat say that shit!

4. You are correct. It's in the post-9/11 Bible.

Even the Commandments have been revised:

Thou shalt not kill - except for oil or profits.
Thou shalt not steal - except for oil or profits.
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife - unless she has oil.

Love thy neighbor has been revised to "Fuck thy neighbor, he's a godamned librul."

And the greatest of these is "Do unto others before they do unto you." A slight revision to "Fight them over there rather than here."

[Tari]

7. Thou shalt not bear false witness

against your neighbor, unless smearing him will get you a few more votes.

9. blessed are the hellraisers and women's clinic bombers

[rkc3]

10. It was interesting to hear Rudolph yesterday apologizing for killing

people at the Olypmics - apparently he doesn't feel too bad about the clinic bombing - he only meant to kill federal agents.

Maybe Jesus does bless the clinic bombers.

Extreme faith, or Extreme Stupidity?

Regular snake-handlers - those who handle at every service, two to three times a week - are commonly preachers. Most who drink strychnine and handle fire also handle snakes. Many who handle snakes do not handle fire or drink strychnine. Also, members in general feel it is not an imperative of the Lord's faith to handle snakes; handling snakes is not a test of faith but a mandate from God.

Few historians dispute that a roving preacher by the name of George Hensley founded the Holiness Church 80 years ago. Originally a member of the Church of God based in Cleveland, Tenn., Mr. Hensley parted ways with the Church of God in the early 1920s, when it stopped embracing serpent-handling.

Beyond The Serpents

Serpent handler at church in Jolo, McDowell County.

Project seeks to document the people behind the snakes

By Jim Cooper EDITOR

A picture, they say, is worth a thousand words.

And when the picture in question is of a man holding several poisonous snakes aloft during a church service, the words that come to mind are often unflattering.

Most in the outside world see an ignorant hillbilly risking life during a frenzied display to support a misguided interpretation of scripture - an activity that helps perpetuate a negative Appalachian stereotype. But those who take the time to look closer might come away with a different opinion.

Photographer Chuck Conner of Spencer was the man behind the camera. For more than a year and a half, Conner and his collaborator, Shannon Bell, attended services at the Church of the Lord Jesus in Jolo, W.Va. The McDowell County church is the pre-eminent Pentecostal Signs-Following, or snake-handling church, in Appalachia.

We asked if we could come down and they said they had an open-door policy," Conner said. "A lot of times I was not able to photograph. I was so overwhelmed that it was the last thing on my mind." more...
