See there are fallen angels which God has rejected and these look like serpents in the Spirit ,............... like there are white serpents which hold spiritual authority on contention and strange religion ,.............. and red serpents which hold spiritual authority on pride and arrogance ,............... and yellow serpents which hold spiritual authority on timid ,............... and green serpents who hold spiritual authority on sexual perversion ,............... and giant serpents who hold spiritual authority on self promotion , ...............and even the talking serpent in the story of Adam and Eve was this satan who was called the father of liars ............... See it is these spiritual fallen angels serpents which Jesus said to promise not to hurt Christian who come in faith where poison of snakes in the natural would take more power of Christ to remove than the authority of the Christians believer in the spirit
The Bible says it would happen -- and it did. The apostle Paul is recorded in Acts as being bitten by a snake and he was not harmed. He did not go looking for a snake to dangle in front of his face. There is just no example for us to follow to test God in that way.
10Bring the whole of the tithes into the treasury so that there may be nourishment in My House, and test Me now therewith, says the Lord of Hosts, [to see] if I will not open for you the sluices of heaven and pour down for you blessing until there be no room to suffice for it.

Oh so you are wondering why some accept circumcision but reject kissing snakes? Why accept some of it and not all of it? Why cherry pick?
That is like asking why there are so many sects within all the religions.
Because people like 'some' things' and not 'other' things and when it comes to the 'holy' books of those religions where the claim and belief is that those books are 'the word of G()D' - well - why then don't they do everything they are told by this G()D to do, including kissing snakes...?...the most likely answer is because the books ain't the word of 'G()D' and people are so easily hyped and mislead and used and abused and abusive in their beliefs and it is a nut-case world secular and religious notwithstanding.
You are still missing the point.
Why do fundamentalists - who a believe a lot of far fetched things, including things like a young earth, dinosaurs either aren't real or lived with humans, and Biblical inerrancy - look at these specific fundamentalists and say "That's nuts!" If someone believes the Bible is the literal word of God, full of commandments about what to do and what not to do, I want to know why this particular thing is "craaaaazy!" As if there is nothing "crazy" about other fundamentalist practices.
Maybe it's because they're actually afraid to follow this one?

It's not that understand the point you are making. However, to add as a corollary to your point, many Biblical scholars question whether the last few verses of Mark are authentic (including 16:18) as they are not included in the oldest known manuscripts of Mark.
The funny part is that many fundies will accept these findings by these erudite scholars but will vociferously object to the hundreds of other discrepancies that these SAME scholars find in other parts of the Bible.
