Just this year another snake handling preecher died in the USA. The practice is allowed in some states under religious freedom provisions. However it does make common sense for anyone, including men of God, to do a snake handling course or two before engaging on a career of handling deadly snakes.
An early death from snakebite does the handler no credit at all.
All the best
