Snakes…
The snake preachers are often envenomated. They often die. Are they taking faith “too far”?
Some say that Kipling’s Vampire is about a woman. Some claim that he wrote of the Elizabethan England of his time and that it’s about the government.
A fool there was and he made his prayer (Even as you and I!) To a rag and a bone and a hank of hair (We called her the woman who did not care), But the fool he called her his lady fair (Even as you and I!), etc.
When Americans swear to support and defend the Constitution against all enemies, both foreign and domestic, who do they, the affiant, think that they are referring to? …more here. I never considered veterans and retired police officers to be enemies of the state, but most of them are unlikely to vote for President Brandon – so is considering him an incompetent dolt and Camela, a buffoon – not to mention a retired whore – a hate crime? Is it wrong to call a sodomite a sodomite?
We need some snake handlers to clean out the J-6 committee.
Like “snakes on a plane”… put the committee on an airplane-bound for Timbuktu along with a lot of snakes. The problem would be if the snakes found that the committee were all reptilian and not worth biting.
The Camel didn’t retire, she just switched “specialties” wink-wink nudge-nudge. This being a family blog, I’ll therefore refrain from saying anything further in the interests of public sanitation.
She’s our distinguished leader, earning the most votes in history and all that.
Powerful sermon! Concise and right to the point.
I didn’t have time to work up a full LSP style fire and brimstone sermon. I think that I’d need to go to the Chapel-on-the-Lake to get that sort of thing today.

No butter in hell.
I’ll remember that one.
That “in Gov. we trust” graphic is offensive and a filthy lie: President Obama would NEVER put on workingman’s clothes and do actual physical work.
As to calling things by their names, “sodomite” is a badge of pride. There is only one name that causes them to recoil in outrage masking shame.
Yeah, you’re right. Sigh.
The book Salvation on Sand Mountain will teach you a lot about snake handling.
I have a friend who lives at Sand Mountain Alabama.
I live a little south of Sand Mountain.

It is people like you, using the internet to publish inconvenient truths, that is causing all the turmoil in our country. Everything would be just peachy if everyone would go along to get along. Our betters have our best interest in mind. Of course, they must be properly compensated for their labors.
Only a dead fish goes with the current.
An appropriate comment to my feeble attempt at sarcasm.
Reminds me of Stealers Wheel song, “ Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right. Here I am, stuck in the middle…” Maybe add this refrain: Charlatans to left of us, charlatans to the right, here we are, stuck in the middle again.
Had a meeting with a county commissioner moons ago, trying to get a project through CDOT and asked for her assistance with them. She says “I meet with them every week.” And because I don’t speak politik, I say, “So you can influence their decision by letting them know the merits, maybe from you it’ll have more standing.” You would have thought I shot her dog. Little did I know one must speak in code at that level, never say anything straight out. Silly me, what do ai know, I’m just a dumb engineer.
Snake handlers…moronic, like praying not to get burned while putting your hand in the fire…because you have faith. God says “Don’t be stupid in my name.”
As I saw recently, “Like leaning on a shovel and praying for a hole”. God could not make a Stradivarius without the hands of Antonio Stradivari.
Exactly…I like to say “God can’t steer a parked car.” We pray for a skilled hand, not so much His direct hand to do the work.
Friend: “Wow, God’s really made this place special.”
Owner: “Yeah, you should have seen it when God had it.”
Old joke that speaks to
iPad fumbling…”…speaks to the metaphor.”
Very well put!
LOL.
@ Paul M-
“Everywhere is
freaks and hairies
dykes and fairies
tell me where is
sanity.”
Hehe. Some things never change.
Forgot to add : I want to change the world…
I’d Love to Change the World
Ten Years After
Everywhere is freaks and hairies
Dykes and fairies, tell me where is sanity?
*Tax the rich, feed the poor
’til there are no rich no more *
I’d love to change the world
But I don’t know what to do
So I’ll leave it up to you
Population keeps on breeding
Nation bleeding, still more feeding economy
Life is funny, skies are sunny
Bees make honey, who needs money? Monopoly
I’d love to change the world
But I don’t know what to do
So I’ll leave it up to you
Oh, yeah
World pollution, there’s no solution
Institution, electrocution
Just black or white, rich or poor
Them and us, stop the war
I’d love to change the world
But I don’t know what to do
So I’ll leave it up to you

* That second stanza has bothered me for decades.
(Not too sure about the fifth either…)
Yep, snake handlers are a ‘different’ breed… Alabama, Kentucky, Tennessee, and up into Appalachia… They are so wrapped up in that ‘religion’ I often wonder who/what they really believe.
I handled a snake in church once.
I told him he wouldn’t be my pastor any more.
speaking of snakes, trudeau has bugged out of ottawa ahead of the freedom rally truckers. israeli intel reportedly has him in the u.s. theoretically he has abdicated the post. canucks should block the border when he tries to recross, lol.
Maybe he should seek asylum in Cuba?
Well, his uncle is stepping down. Maybe there’s a place for him.
Living in a country with some of the most dangerous snakes in the world, snake handling preachers is a strong nope from me. No matter how strong your faith is, mine says leave the danger noodles alone.
You have really impressive reptiles down under.
