MIDDLESBORO, Ky. -- Jamie Coots, a snake-handling Kentucky pastor who appeared on the National Geographic television reality show "Snake Salvation," died Saturday after being bitten by a snake.

Coots was handling a rattlesnake during a Saturday night service at his Full Gospel Tabernacle in Jesus Name Church in Middlesboro when he was bitten, another preacher, Cody Winn, told WBIR-TV.

Coots said then he needed the snakes for religious reasons, citing a Bible passage in the book of Mark that reads, in part: "And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover."

Well, that worked out well

God loved him so much he made the snake kill him to get him to heaven early.

So apparently they starve the snakes as it makes them less likely to bite and the venom less deadly.
I want to know where the this leaves the preachers? They actively try to remove as much of the risk as they can while putting on a show. So do they see themselves as frauds then? Or are they able to rationalise it in some way?
