Snakes Today, Bibles Tomorrow? Reality TV show lands serpent-handling millennial pastor in court.
On Friday, the 22-year-old star of Snake Salvation and pastor of Tabernacle Church of God in Lafollete pled not guilty to a wildife possession charge—and then continued to handle snakes at his church.

The New York Times captures how Hamblin and his supporters hope to become a "new front in the battle for religious liberty." One protest sign reads, "Snakes today, Bibles tomorrow?"

Experts told WBIR that his legal argument is thin, but other experts told Religion News Service that recent legal decisions may favor his stance. Snake Salvation costar Jamie Coots explained to The Wall Street Street why the Constitution should protect his religious rights.

But i suppose the protester would be okay with "rosaries today, korans tomorrow."

No, the crust is good for you. You need to eat it. Stop trying to raise my medical costs to finance your unhealthy lifestyle, you selfish bastard!

My momma used to say the crust was the most nutricious part. Of course, the fact that she cut it off her PB&J undermined my faith.

I have no problem with allowing these to receive the 'Darwin Award' in pursuit of their valued religious liberties.
