A Christian pastor in Tennessee has a church where congregants handle poisonous snakes in accordance with Mark 16:17.  I am an atheist but I admire this pastor.  It takes a lot of courage to handle these snakes.  It is illegal in Tennessee to possess these snakes.  This pastor is willing to go to jail in defense of his beliefs.  I admire him for that reason.  For the details go to http://www.religionnews.com/2013/11/12/serpent-handler-tv-star-new-cause-religious-liberty/
