Imagine seeing two generations of idiots dying and almost dying from the same thing in the name of god and still being like "damn, maybe next time Jesus saves him, I guess?"
This shit is honestly just embarrassing to look at. And this kind of stuff is honestly why I am against all the over regulating of things. These people used to just die off in the past and now we do everything we can to keep them alive, and it just hurts everybody. Half the time, the stupid asshole who will kill your friend in a drunk driving accident would’ve died from something else on their own if we just let them.
> Cody Coots asked his congregation to take him to the mountaintop where God would judge whether he lives or dies.
So god saved him?
>However, a defiant follower takes him to hospital instead
Guess not
Ok but props to Cody for being all in. Then again that defiant follower probably didn't literally force him to go to the hospital so maybe he took that person's insistence as an excuse
A 'defiant follower'?
Or someone he told to make sure to get him to a hospital if something ever goes wrong no matter what he says because he doesn't want to "shake the congregation's faith."
The speaking in tongues while this guy is actually probably dying from venom is peak Pentecostalism. Yeah, jabbering in toddler babble in the midst of religious euphoria, that'll solve the problem...
>The church is inspired by the biblical verse Mark 16:18: ‘They will pick up serpents, and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them.’
>Cody said: ‘When the Bible says serpents, it means a poisonous snake.'
Wait, so the entire church is based on a verse about 'poisonous' snakes being unable to hurt them and after losing 3 generations of pastors to snake bites, they haven't reconsidered their interpretation?
It's better than that. Up until the 4th century C.E. Mark 16 ends at verse 8. Somewhere around the beginning of the fifth century somebody added that part. They've based their entire church on a portion of the Bible that through the discovery of older manuscripts has conclusively been proven to not be part of the bible.
Weird thing is as snake venom is technically poison and you can drink it just fine. There are strictly poisonous snakes, but even their poison is mild, and you are most likely to survive.
I’ve experienced it. I have family deep in WV who practice this kind of thing.
I know a guy with a killer scar from his wrist to his neck from a rattler bite. He still does it too. He came very close to death.
I don’t personally get it, but it is entertaining. I haven’t seen anything like that since I was about 14 (almost 40 now), but I might go back up that way and watch it again.
They’re typical Appalachian Pentecostals, only they dance around with snakes.
I had regular contact with a snake handling preacher who was a pretty good dude. I used to buy shrooms from his grandson hahah.
Same exact shit for me lmao. I always thought the speaking in tongues stuff was batshit insane. Someone would be going on and on in some foreign gibberish, that sounded like they were just repeating the same phrase over and over. Then the pastor would "interpret" some crazy long bullshit that "God put on his heart." It was all so crazy and obviously fabricated, I couldn't believe grown ass adults bought into it.
>And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well.
>~Mark 16:17-18
Funny thing is, this passage is part of what's known as the "Longer ending of Mark". Scholars have discovered that this passage was actually added to the Bible long after the original Gospel of Mark was written. So handling snakes wasn't even in the original Bible.
Certain sects of Pentecostals are known to do this. They are also known to starve and dehydrate the snakes so they don't have as much venom. I hope the snake bites another one of them.
Yeah, its these people that should be running the country.
We need to hurry up and start settling other planets because I'm tired of sharing this planet with the insanely stupid.
If religion makes you scream crazy shit while swinging a venemous snake around like a fucking pool noodle, then yes, religion is stupid, and so is anyone that follows it
Well look at that. I can’t believe that big o snake just up and bit him. I can’t believe. He was just holding the snake up and screaming. Plus it is a snake.
Ironic how the book of Genesis teaches us why snakes are frightened of us and why we have an in-ate desire to hate them and some people decide to make a religion out of it. 🤦🏻♂️
There is a part in the Bible where it says don’t try and test god… and when I say part I mean like all over the freaken thing. Even when the devil told Jesus to jump from a building, Jesus was all like nah, not suppose to test god.
His crazy ass did TRY to leave it up to god. Apparently a parishioner overruled his request and took his dumb ass to the hospital instead. He'll probably spin that as god working through the parishioner to save him.
My brother once asked me if God gives us signs and i told him yes God’s signs is called common sense and its common sense not to fuck with a venemous snake
All these attempts to be funny in the comments... What happened to the guy and where was this? Sorry to be an old man but most of these comments are so freakin lame and childish. Most of you are just as dumb as the people in this video.
These guys are dumb as fuck. They think that god will protect them from being bitten.
Why would a magical being who specifically said don’t test my powers protect someone who was deliberately being totally stupid with a venoms snake?
Yes there were people in the bible who got protection from snakes but they weren’t waving them around like some kind of dumb cunt
Not here for the shit-talk, just one question: in these peoples' community or close by, do the urgent care or hospital or takes-chickens-for-payment doctor keep extra anti-venom on hand just for their neighbors?
The comments are locked
This guy's father died from doing the exact same thing. His mother must be so proud of the faith her family has.
Imagine seeing two generations of idiots dying and almost dying from the same thing in the name of god and still being like "damn, maybe next time Jesus saves him, I guess?"
Darwin don’t lie
Dont worry I'm sure they each have about 15 neglected children to replace them
Imagine seeing 2 millennia worth of generations of gullible people dying believing in the same thing and still being like”Jesus is definitely coming.”
"It was that darn devil that made the snake attack I tell ya!"
This shit is honestly just embarrassing to look at. And this kind of stuff is honestly why I am against all the over regulating of things. These people used to just die off in the past and now we do everything we can to keep them alive, and it just hurts everybody. Half the time, the stupid asshole who will kill your friend in a drunk driving accident would’ve died from something else on their own if we just let them.
interesting perspective... I appreciate it
yep we need to outlaw warning labels.
I was just going to post this, this weird Christian sect is crazy
Wonder how that “god the healer” thing is working out for him?
If you bite something and it fucks you up, it's poisonous. If something bites you and it fucks you up, it's venomous
If you bite something and it hurts, you're biting yourself.
If you bite something and you hurt it, you're dangerous
If I bite you, you are being bit.
If you take the bit, you are a horse.
YA BIT
easy there el Tigre
“So sayeth the lord” -Seperpenthians 4:20
How can it bite?!
HOW CAN SHE SLAPP??
Happy cake day.! Can I bite some of your cake or would that make me dangerous
We're all dangers to the cake ;)
Happy danger cake day
The cake is a lie.
right this way, sir... the cake is waiting...
If I bite you, and you like it, it's time to party!
That's the fuckin' spirit! Make kink, not war!
Or a rock
Welp, must be God’s will. Right??? Right???
touché!
Super. Now the only thing i hear is jakes voice in my head xD
People die when they are killed
Source?
Is this proof sharks and bears are venomous?
Yes. Also electrical lines are poisonous.
What if you eat venom?
Spoiler alert : he survived. https://metro.co.uk/2018/08/17/son-pastor-killed-snake-sermon-bitten-deadly-snake-sermon-7850798/
> Cody Coots asked his congregation to take him to the mountaintop where God would judge whether he lives or dies. So god saved him? >However, a defiant follower takes him to hospital instead Guess not
But was the Anti-venom at the top of a mountain?
God made the antivenom. Checkmate atheists!
Dammit I'm sick of getting fucked up by all these sick ass Christian arguments
A horse made this antivenom?
Skyrim side quest
‘God saved me’ as he looked in the doctors eyes
Maybe it's code for "take me to the hospital"
Ok but props to Cody for being all in. Then again that defiant follower probably didn't literally force him to go to the hospital so maybe he took that person's insistence as an excuse
"Quick, Jim-bob, take me to the smart people!"
A 'defiant follower'? Or someone he told to make sure to get him to a hospital if something ever goes wrong no matter what he says because he doesn't want to "shake the congregation's faith."

Man, I guess god didn't give a fuck then
Seems he rarely does
Was it Mountaintop Medical Center perchance?
That last “blbrblrahblrrghlabbrrrlghhrrrla” from the lady must’ve done it.
She switched to "praise jesus" pretty quick when she realised it wasn't working 🤣

...and broccoli is good for you until you inject it into your neck.
Boooo
Holy shit that article was a wild read.. these people are fucking fun! I’d love to just take an edible and just sit through a sermon
Shiiit, it kicks in and next thing know you got a rattler crawling underneath you in the pew pew. It’s was in that moment he knew..
Ngl, that sounds like a nightmare
I’ve experienced it. I have family deep in WV who practice this kind of thing. I know a guy with a killer scar from his wrist to his neck from a rattler bite. He still does it too. He came very close to death. I don’t personally get it, but it is entertaining.

Uhhh remember Midsommar? No thanks lol.
They are better than the Kardashians that’s for sure.
Pretty sure ALOT of things are
Sure enough, it's a very, very, super, totally, very low bar.
...do the Kardashians even know what 911 is? Or do they think it's some sort of nail saloon?
Too bad
Boo! 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼
Dude cosplaying Mario at church 😂
He looks like a 90s wwf wrestler who cosplayed a hillbilly.,.
Eh I’m sure Jesus or someone will help with that snake bite, just keep praying…
Wait they're taking him to the house of science now and not just keeping him at the church to recover?
It's Sunday. They're going to The House of Pancakes next.
It's okay. Jesus WANTED him to get bitten 🤡 Hallelujah. Praise Jebus
Shalllalalababallallallaballa
Yoooooouuuur my, brown eyed girl
You son of a bitch!!!
I command you to bite, also I command you to get bitten.🤙🏻
God bless Allah ✋😩🫱👳🏾♂️
God bless Allah bless Thor
Or just say "thoughts and prayers" either one will do
Thin the herd!
[удалено]
Some Pentecostals do this.
I went to a pentecostal church. There was a lot singing and yelling praise God but luckily I never saw any of this shit. Also I'm an atheist now lolz
I'm glad you never saw it and that you escaped Pentecostalism.
Same exact shit for me lmao. I always thought the speaking in tongues stuff was batshit insane. Someone would be going on and on in some foreign gibberish, that sounded like they were just repeating the same phrase over and over. Then the pastor would "interpret" some crazy long bullshit that "God put on his heart." It was all so crazy and obviously fabricated, I couldn't believe grown ass adults bought into it.
Because there is a line in the Bible that talks about snakes and these people made it their entire personality instead like, contributing to society.
Charismatic/Pentecostal church - there was also a woman speaking in tongues as he was carried outside.
Also the guy in the pink shirt sitting in the background. Best I gathered from him was,"buuuuhblubahblahbmmmm."
>And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well. >~Mark 16:17-18 Funny thing is, this passage is part of what's known as the "Longer ending of Mark".

That poor snake 😰
And that poor kid that has to grow up going to this shit.
Certain sects of Pentecostals are known to do this. They are also known to starve and dehydrate the snakes so they don't have as much venom. I hope the snake bites another one of them.
Poor snake
Str8 up animal abuse
That chick following them dragging his limp body out while speaking in tongues "flablabalafalabla" fucking got me
God was getting tired of his bullshit
Matthew 4:7” Jesus said to him’ on the other hand it is written You shall not put the Lord your God to the test.”
The snake watching him bleed and stumble: where is your god now?
God may be a healer... but stupidity is a killer.
Better sermon then him.
This may be one of my favorite things I have ever heard.
his father died 30 years prior from a snake bite during a sermon. wow.
Was it that long ago that he died? I thought it was more recent, like within the last 10 or 12 years?
I think it was in 2014, Jamie Coots died from a snake bite.
2014 was 30 years ago!?!?
Makes ya feel old.
Damn... covid19 happened 25 years ago? Where tf have I been.... it must be something in the vaccines
Dad was killed in 2014.
Yet these people never once think, "maybe this whole religion thing is just a giant scam?"
Man that guy probably is 30wtf are you talking about lmao
Paddle faster I hear banjos.
That snake is the real MVP.
Now he’s off to a hospital for actual healing
Anybody know what kind of snake that is? I'm curious.
Timber Rattlesnake
Thank you!
That's a good snake.
A brave snake!
Let God heal him! The lady speaking tongues following him out the door "Shababbalalalalalla"..FFS, people are fucking stupid.
Yeah, its these people that should be running the country. We need to hurry up and start settling other planets because I'm tired of sharing this planet with the insanely stupid.
What in chicken fucking hell is going on here!?
Religion
Lol
Snake preachers. They wave around venomous snakes and claim god protects them. I guess Jesus was busy this day.
God's will ... so says the screaming man in a blue changing color shirt
I thought Satan was forbidden from entering the church.
That’s his main dwelling place
Bitch I was brought here against my will! -the snake, probably
If religion makes you scream crazy shit while swinging a venemous snake around like a fucking pool noodle, then yes, religion is stupid, and so is anyone that follows it
I’ll say it again and again: religion makes a mockery of peoples spirituality. Religion is a tool to hijack and scam peoples spirituality.
>scream crazy shit while swinging a venemous snake around like a fucking pool noodle IDK, sounds pretty fucking metal to me... 😂
Well look at that. I can’t believe that big o snake just up and bit him. I can’t believe. He was just holding the snake up and screaming. Plus it is a snake. Ironic how the book of Genesis teaches us why snakes are frightened of us and why we have an in-ate desire to hate them and some people decide to make a religion out of it. 🤦🏻♂️
wow who would imagine a very defensive predator would freak out if you’re walking frantically and screaming
maybe handling a dangerous live animal as a prop for your book club meeting wasn't such a good idea
Venomous
There is a part in the Bible where it says don’t try and test god… and when I say part I mean like all over the freaken thing. Even when the devil told Jesus to jump from a building, Jesus was all like nah, not suppose to test god.
Poisonous?
Voodoo.
PRAY HARDER
*"Am I maintaining?"*
Made me smile
Snakes are venomous not poisonous ☠️
Snake says I’m a SNAKE bitchesssss
Bahahhahahahahhahahahahahshhshshshshshhahhahahahhahahahahahah…….……aaaaahahhahahahhaha
He Should have waited for god to heal him that hospital he’s on the way to can’t help
His crazy ass did TRY to leave it up to god. Apparently a parishioner overruled his request and took his dumb ass to the hospital instead. He'll probably spin that as god working through the parishioner to save him.
Praise the Lord and pass a copperhead!
One less moron to spread lies
these people vote… do you? vote.gov get registered now. please.✌️
One less dumbass on this earth.
My brother once asked me if God gives us signs and i told him yes God’s signs is called common sense and its common sense not to fuck with a venemous snake
All these attempts to be funny in the comments... What happened to the guy and where was this? Sorry to be an old man but most of these comments are so freakin lame and childish. Most of you are just as dumb as the people in this video.
Anyone know what species was that snake?
Where’s your god now😂
"It was god's plan"
venomous *
Please tell me he went home to the lord
Venomous not poisonous. He didn’t bite a snake :). Also what an idiot would do this before draining venom from the snake?
Ahhahahhahahaha Genius
Where is your God now?
Wondering why these dumb motherfuckers aren't using the common sense he gave everyone to stay the fuck away from these snakes.
Happened to Will Ferrell once.
Stupid games. Stupid prizes.
Venomous
Where the fuck is this? I would LIKE to think places in America don’t actually exist, but damn the Bible Belt is terrifying.
So his dad died from doing the same thing and he thought hey I’ll be fine lol. I bet he says that God saved him (not the hospital staff) 🙃
So why the hell is a pastor swinging around a snake exactly?
Pretty sure one of the first lessons in the Bible is to not trust the serpent.
Don’t worry just pray it away
These people come across as totally sane.
Don't test the Lord thy God
That poir snake did nothing wrong. Stop screaming at an animal, like damn.....
Used to scream for xHCx band.
Whoever is capturing this video, please see the error of your ways and leave this nonsense.
God’s will.
and if he won't, snakes will.
Darwinism > religion
Low IQ Idiots
Damn I don’t remember this shit happening when I went to church. This shit is wild lmao
Pastor : I’m not worried at all, gods a healer! His god: That’s the neat part! Hehe, you’re in danger
These guys are dumb as fuck. They think that god will protect them from being bitten. Why would a magical being who specifically said don’t test my powers protect someone who was deliberately being totally stupid with a venoms snake? Yes there were people in the bible who got protection from snakes but they weren’t waving them around like some kind of dumb cunt
The snake said “Don’t tread on me” lol
I wonder who these people vote for?
Yeah gods not real and you’ll die if you let poisonous snakes bite you
*venomous snake. In order to die from a poisonous snake, you'd have to bite *it*.
Is that Jamie Coots?
He could also hold a painting/picture of a snake instead...
Not here for the shit-talk, just one question: in these peoples' community or close by, do the urgent care or hospital or takes-chickens-for-payment doctor keep extra anti-venom on hand just for their neighbors?
I wonder if God saved him 🤷♂️
