While I do not share their predilections, I applaud their fight for freedom.

yes, but only if it's done by trained professionals.

Uh... these guys have a lot of experience handling snakes.

I think the occasionally fatalities-inducing part of Full Gospel services is the poison-drinking part anyhow, not the serpent-handling.

Then again, at least they're never bitten and don't learn anything about Christianity in the process.
