a reality show preacher who uses snakes
to send his message has a tragically died from a snake bite now this is a
third-generation
serpent handler by the name a Jamie Kuntz and if you don't recognize him he
did have a reality show on National Geographic will take a quick look
seeking its normal better good and its followers believe they are called by God
to handle venomous serpent
come through Pathan straight from the Bible which they take literally
the pickup serpent anything drink any deadly poison
it will not hurt them someone with me at him at church
and they're not media family I will call 911 have the paramedics come out and let
that person tale diem
I don't want their college then could some self has been bitten nine times
Ralph my me here each time he refused medical attention
I don't like you the worst time could says was when a timber rattler bit his
middle finger
you most playing against summer film our in the town the news Ron and do
something tomorrow national lot from her smile
that much to the bar was expelled for broken that's crazy
not much as a advil no not too much as a
aspirin no this why doesn't God I want you to take the advil
I get that he keeps you alive according to this crazy guys you're about to find
out in a
not necessarily but why does he want you to be in pain while the latest thanks
but you're the first but
so last time that he got bitten but
he refused any type of medical attention and as a result he died but
after he not been so many times and survived I don't blame them for thinking
it would be okay
yeah I know I get it right and he thinks a while y'all were
helping with the spaces that are anywhere from nine times except for the
one time we lost a finger
I would call that right about there okay but he decide to keep going
and that's why I time I read apparently got in step up to the plate maybe was
busy was gonna sandwich or something
and i lo and behold the you know what happens when a poisonous snake bite you
you know I you die and I bet you
that his last thoughts were not God why have you forsaken me
I bet you you've bought what did I do wrong
that I wasn't pure enough for got that's probably the case but the thing that I
worry about is that
obviously the sends the wrong message to people that believe in his religion
you should immediately seek medical attention if you get bitten by states
make you should seek medical attention if you have any type
illness that requires medical attention you oftentimes you hear stories about
some of these you know what your religious people this is not a blanket
statement about all religious people
but those who don't believe in medical attention right their child will get
sick with cancer in the refuse chemotherapy and stuff like that
its unbelievably unacceptable that's child abuse
you absolutely need to get help immediately
but this guy actually got arrested back in 2008 because he had 74 snakes in his
home
she spent and and you know he's got his family at home
en banc is a third-generation serpent handler
okay or was a third-generation certain handler
and he had wanted to pass on the trade to is adult son
little coding okay well Cody K
believe me not something you want to go from pops okay
I N you see the result of that now look some people might think we should have
more sympathy tourism
years pass away to be honest with you I don't have much
I have some sympathy looking comes from a family that practice this for a very
long time again he's a third generation circuit handler so he grew up in that
environment
I don't think he knew better he got bitten several times prior to this
incident
and nothing happened to him so he probably thought it would be fine I have
some sympathy for him and his family so I do too I'm not heartless but at the
same time
these guys are hurting other people I meet you're going to be a and now you
wanna hurt himself to me we told you to
your anti-science it as consequence this rate
and you know we talk about gravity all the time my dog oh no gotta save me know
it won't you call to building your not great
and a burger if they buy two sometimes you get lucky and the boys will be a
has been a mess the as it needs to be to kill you write good great break
but you're encouraging other people are doing UK incurred your sunday New York
urging
so the people that go to your church to do it and sometimes what a poisonous
snake bites you you know I
and as i mean you've got it has to do with science so stop it
and you know so look course when it whenever somebody dies you feel bad I do
ultimately of course I feel bad for them him and his family right you're right he
grew up in
right but let at least be a lesson to others
so that you don't repeat those mistakes in a battle
of God versa science I got
in an hour depending on where you stand bad news and good news for you
size is going to win every time
