Exactly. Same reason Westboro get so much press-they want people to think this is what Christianity is about.
GOOD ONE, thanks for your comment!

Song by: Pinkard and Bowden. Digital transfer from 45. For those of you who don’t understand the song and what it means.. In the south, we have what is called “Snake Handeling”. Meaning, that you hold a snake and it will either bite you or not. If it doesn’t then you go to Heaven but, If it does than you go to hell. But, This is one of my first creations and I made it into text form... Enjoy
I loved Pinkard and Bowden before they went X-rated.
I’m not going to question that this guy was legitimately saved, but I can well imagine him showing up in Heaven and St. Peter smacking him across the face and going “What’s wrong with you?!”
LOL! Another literalist/fundamentalist religious nut-case bites the dust.
Ah yes...I see your point.
BUT, if they are on MTV, is their purpose to ridicule these demographic groups or to hold them up as sterling examples of American Life?
:>}
Funny. No idea. I just went to the mtv website. I don’t watch the shows myself. LOL.
I had a conversation a couple of years ago with my daughter about the pregnant and 16 show, though, and they do NOT glorify the life these young girls live.
I bet that hurt for a bit.
1. Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap. - Galatians 6:7
2. These kind of people use Mark 16:17-18 as their basis for such antics. But, a) we don't read about people in the Bible intentionally playing with poisonous snakes to prove their spirituality (in fact, the whole message of the New Testament is that our spirituality is based on what's inside, not what we do outwardly); and, b) I don't recall reading about any of these folks drinking poison very often.
3. The son said something to the effect that "It must have been God's will." Ignorance, sickness, and death (even from poisonous snakes) came into the world because of man's decision to sin - until that time, creation was perfect!
3. The world just loves it when Christians make fools of themselves.
