Snake Charmer as Good as His Last Perfomance? (Obama, money, state)

[Chimuelojones]

If a Snake Charmer charms snakes successfully for 20 years, is he a failure based on his last bad fatal performance?

Guess he was as much of a failure as Reggie Lewis? I don't know...

How is this a controversy?

Some things one goof up is all it takes.

He is simply a statistic.

The odds are he could have died on his 1st snake bite.

Not unlike being a good citizen for 35 years then being convicted of murder.

Unless it orbits too close to the black hole of inflation.

Well what ever else you say, at least this one seems to have believed what he was preaching.

Do not put thy God to the test.

An old joke:

There was a man called him Jim, who lived near a river. Jim was a very religious man.

One day, the river rose over the banks and flooded the town, and Jim was forced to climb onto his porch roof.

While sitting there, a man in a boat comes along and tells Jim to get in the boat with him.

Jim says "No, that's ok. God will take care of me." So, the man in the boat drives off.

The water rises, so Jim climbs onto his roof.

At that time, another boat comes along and the person in that one tells Jim to get in.

Jim replies, "No, that's ok. God will take care of me." The person in the boat then leaves.

The water rises even more, and Jim climbs on his chimney.

Then a helicopter comes and lowers a ladder. The woman in the helicopter tells Jim to climb up the ladder and get in.

Jim tells her "That's ok."

The woman says "Are you sure?"

Jim says, "Yeah, I'm sure God will take care of me.

Finally, the water rises too high and Jim drowns.

Jim gets up to Heaven and is face-to-face with God.

Jim says to God "You told me you would take care of me! What happened?"

God replied "Well, I sent you two boats and a helicopter. What else did you want?"

Well, it's one thing for them to handle copperheads but that guy had western diamondbacks and timber rattlesnakes, both of which have vastly more dangerous bites.

Oh well, maybe next service if they have any real faith they can secure a black mamba and pass it around.

Won't have to worry about pesky things like losing a finger but will need a full supply of body bags.

Would be interesting if they also started doing that whole Daniel in the lions den thing.

Local Zookeeper: "Wierd, I keep finding shoes and bibles in the lion enclosure and they don't seem to be hungry lately...."

Too bad the old boy could not read his bible that he says he believes in. The Apostle of the Gentiles Paul stated that miracles and healings would pass away { 1 Cor 12}. And they did up until the early 20th century when the Pentacostal movement was born { to my limited knowledge}.

It makes me sick that people like him twist the bible for recognition and gain. Robert Tilton was the worst who claimed he was a great healer. People would send this false prophet money and receive a healing clothe that he prayed over. Old Tilton raked in millions duping the ignorant. I mean really if these faith healers were the real deal we would not need Obamacare or hospitals. We would just need Tilton and others to heal our sick.

I am glad the snake bit that false prophet and I hope his congregation and people that believe in his false gospel wake up and read their bibles.

Play with snakes, you will get bit.
