God & Prayer Saves Boy from Snake Poison

[derast]

"Help my little boy ..."

Yea, right - who send the effing snake in the first place? Must be the devil ... ^^ lol.

Ultrabrainwash galore!!!

[technical1234567]

Wow talk about major brainwashing

[MisterNickOtine]

Yeah sure, god and prayer saved the boy : \ forget about CroFab antivenom invented by the SCIENTISTS!

[schott319]

If God did all that work, Doctors have got a really cushy job. "All we can do is just wait"

[leavinghoperecords]

I think there's a typo in this video title, even if it is pure sarcasm. Please change it to "Modern medicine" Doctors and nurses don't go to school for all that time studying a fictional book (bible) based on lies, hypcrisy and doesn't even apply to modern society (Look up Leviticus)

Fuck me, i'm glad to be atheist. We could have flying cars and be living on the moon/other planets by now if it wasn't for Christianity (or religion in general) suppressing free thought/science in the middle ages.

[ZPM7]

What would actually happen:

"What happened to your son?"

"He was bit by a rattle snake!"

"Oh, okay, we'll just give him the anti-venom and he'll make a full recovery! Nothing to worry about!"

[KingAnime159]

That is the worst hospital ever! What kind of hospital doesn't have anti-venom?

[GodVlogger]

I just recently posted a video on "Drink Poison, Handle Snakes, per the Bible".

Silly nonsense.

[burlapshire]

Not to beat a dead horse here... god increased a family's faith slightly in him by forcing them to rely on medical professionals and later tricking the family into thinking he (god) saved the boy? Brilliant!

[PompousPreacher]

So God sent a poisonous snake to bite the boy, then made sure he was able to recover from the snake bite? Praise Jesus!

[mrpink99]

He tied off the wound, all he needed to do was cut a slit in the wound, coat his mouth with olive oil & suck out the venom. Didn't anyone see Snakes on a Plane?

[MelleB90]

Looks like the antidote extracted by SCIENCE cured the little cunt.

500 years ago he would've been fucked and not just in the ass by a creepy man in a forest.

[TheUndeniable]

@MelleB90 pwahahahahahaaaa  priceless. ;)

[62netty]

Rattlesnakes are haemotoxic. You don't suffer coma, paralysis and amnesia from a rattlesnake bite. A healthy fourteeh-year old,when treated properly and without allergic reactions to the antiserum, usually won't die of a bite from a North-American rattlesnake.

A bite can be serious though, it certainly needs hospital treatment, but this clip does not show the proper symptoms. Anyway, if that boy really got bitten, it was his doctor, treating him with medical science, who cured him, not god.

[wankerpanther]

Doctor enters: The diagnosis is not good...

Mother: What is it?

Doctor: Im afraid your son is Christian

Mother: NOOOOOOOOOOOO

[Koshesha73]

This is awful.

[nomen23]

So, he was carried to an isolated cabin in the woods by a friendly but reclusive Klansmen. Then ended up in the most rundown hospital, that was apparently fresh out of antivenom. He wasn't put on a heart monitor or even given IV fluids, but he was given a Bible. That's obamacare for you.

[juggaloryan3]

I love how the doctor simply checks the boys pulse and can determine that he is going to be just fine!

[Nickt121111]

Wow. for 24 hours they stayed by his side? What the fuck was god doing?jacking off to child porn?

[iruparatso]

Real Christians don't believe in atheistic "science" or "medicine."

[WolfsStorm]

I'll be the nitpick. A person doesn't have to be worried about being poisoned by a snake. One should worry about being envenomated.

[TwistedPoliticians]

And he said, in a really deep voice, "What the fuck are you doing in my woods bitch?"

[Rushlimpballs]

A person who was rushed to the hospital was cured by modern medicine? It's a miracle.

[fruitikay]

@InYourFaceNewYorker This is from the show Guidepost Junction from the early 90's. It's a Christian show.

[TheCurmudgen]

Let me see if I have this correct. Jesus didn't stop the snake from biting the boy. Jesus allowed the boy to get very sick and almost die. Jesus didn't take the boy to the hospital nor did he even take him inside of the house. What was that PT Barnum said?

[jneagu]

If the man in woods was Jesus, and he knew he was dying, why didnt Jesus drive him to the hospital?? Oh, right.....

[aqouby]

I thought his name was Bork.

[lacigreen]

o.O this is so creepy.

[tiestoboi]

For being so deluded in their "faith" in god answering their prayers,

they sure do rely heavily on medical science and doctors.

[MrNDSteinbach]

What's this from?

[420simpson]

warning to children watching this video. do not go into the woods looking for deadly snakes to get bit by, and wait there until a 'strong genlte man' comes to save you. No man will come and you will die. but thankfully, science has created anti venoms, so now almost every deadly snake bite is no longer deadly.

[doom3134]

Keys in this video. "He helped block off the wound and helped him self and didn't panic." "He got to the hospital in time." His immune system most likely kicked in, and the poison was probably over dramatized in this video, because he probably did end up going in to shock over it, thus passing out and hallucinating.

[yogurtking]

Glad Jesus was rescuing this little ignorant dumbass while millions die from war and famine

[yogurtking]

Jesus has a "real deep voice?"

[yogurtking]

of course he moved. he wasn't fucking dead.

[Zeldarulah]

Pretty sure it was the turnicut (sp?) and quick thinking of Mark and his family that saved him, not jeebus :P

[KOICrowz]

Well, see, this is what happens when God curses all snakes to crawl on their bellies.. even if they were already doing that..

They attack bad actors.

[ISlamMyWifeIntoAWall]

lol gay kid

[frootofaloom]

i was going to make a joke on this video but everything has already been said

[lucariosleftshoulder]

The "doctor" said poison... Snakes have venom. Idiot.

[qtzlctl2012]

this is just a glurge story.

check it out on snopes

[blackwolf1200]

I've seen how fictional accounts (like this re-enactment, or a movie) can be accepted as factual, accurate documentaries by the believers. They have been trained and trained themselves into losing the ability to distinguish fact from fiction. They do not activate their critical thinking, instead they just reflect any event onto the doctrines and dogma they prefer. If it fits, it's true. Otherwise, it's forced to fit or discarded and forgotten.

[blackwolf1200]

Have you watched the movie "Agora"? The Christian zealot walks across the glowing coals quickly, wearing sandals. His fellow fanatics lap it up as "divine protection". In a later scene, the Christian bishop tells the assembly that the zealot (who had been executed for assaulting a Roman officer) had rolled around in the embers without injury.

This is how the religious fanatic embellishes a more or less unremarkable event into a miracle, even within just a short time span.

[TempleOfInanna2]

Well if you really wanted to test the prayer theory, you wouldn't have taken him to the hospital :) This tells ya that even most devoutly religious folks don't rely soley on the power of prayer, no matter what they claim. Let's say that I attempt brain surgery with no medical degree. I could pray till the cows come home that I don't kill the guy, but he'll still die regardless because I don't know what I'm doing, bottom line.

[bradjbourgeois73]

Why couldn't "god" stop the snake from biting him in the first place?

[AtheistCitizen]

@bradjbourgeois73 protection racket

[goonodeath]

It's funny how these people claim they believe in the "power of prayer" yet when it comes down to prove it they always pussy out like this.

These people are such sheep.

[DackIsBack]

Satan date raped that little boy...

[MacNutz2]

Fortunately they didn't 'anoint' him with olive oil and pray for god to save him instead of taking him to the hospital for the anti-venom drugs. Otherwise the boy would be dead now.

Good old godless medical science saved the kid, not their meaningless prayers. Talking to yourself never saved anything.

[sonoki82]

Now if only that doctor can treat the family for their mental disorder.

[LobsterPotsticker]

kid should have listened to his animal familiar

he wasn't barking at no bird!!

[SDCRIT]

LMFAO! He is delusional from the venom, and prayer didn't save him, medical science did. -.-

[stebbi94]

The sad part is that people actually believe this shit.

[7thDayAtheist]

Good thing the kid learned to stem the tide of the poison by using a tourniquet - SOMETHING HE LEARNED IN SCIENCE CLASS FOR FUCK'S SAKE.

[NeroBaelside13]

Wooooooooooow this is so god damn stupid

[bopp9]

This is fricking embaressing to watch.

[AtheistToothFairy]

There sure is a lot wrong here, not the least is that CREEPY Doctor

[plasmaborne4rel]

millions of children die, one child survives - god is good. ROFL

[jsee12953]

It's not poison, it's VENOM. Fucking moron christians....

[Ozma3000]

Kid, prayer didn't save you.... It's called ANTI-VENOM. -_-;

[xWxHxIxTxExYx]

who comes up with this shit?

[PT109Boat]

THEY RUSHED HIM TO THE HOSPITAL?

They are REALLY bad Christians

[masticina]

@PT109Boat

I know seriously if you pray hard enough and truly belief.. no snake will hurt you! But these.. weak christians.. ugh . I don't even want to call them christians anymore! Hospital how dare they!

[RugtimXII]

@PT109Boat Yeah, that kid's coward parents didn't have enough faith in Jesus to leave him lying on the porch.

[DarkEmergence]

So between a regular guy just dropping him off at his house, the boy walking there himself under a poison or stress induced hallucination, an angel is the most likely explanation?

[InYourFaceNewYorker]

@DarkEmergence No, JEBUS!

[justjulie37]

Puke

[Nverdis]

So why wont god heal amputees? We can't see the healing of this kid via eye, so why not do something like the regrowth of an entire amputated limb?

[Abena20]

Why didn't the angel just heal the kid?

[MrTomfooligans]

lol this video implies that children can and should know how to tie tourniquets. No way Jose. Choke off a limb and die, bruh.

[MrTomfooligans]

I'm rofling all over the place.

[zxzIzxz]

Pray to me and I'll carry you all the way into your home. Not just leave you outside

[soundscapenyc]

well duh, of course a loving god would firstly let the boy get bitten, then have him and his family suffer, only for them to call on him for "help." facepalm.

[hevyAccel]

Yes mommy and pappy - I was fucked up and nearly died. Please continue my dumb ass dilution!

[kalamain]

PRAISE THA' LAWD!!

Not the many, may years of medical investigation into the human and animal anatomy and the many years of education and dedication of those doctors, pharmacologists, lab techs, vets and many other unsung people who you will never meet or even know the names of.

Its those people that deserve the thanks and praise. Not your crappy god.

Also, while we are on the subject of education. Where was the parental education to look out for dangerous animals?

Piss poor parenting.

[gaykernow]

Thing is what happened to that poor snake, having bitten that poisonous little boy, did god save the snake too?

[jsmorin]

He didn't get bit by a snake, he got molested by that guy in the woods...

[wideosvatcher]

Not to piss in anyones metamucil but doesnt it seen that "miracles" are just god cleaning up his own mess?

Oh and an uncanny amout of miracles occur in hospitals! go figure!

youd figure churches would be the one stop miracle shop but suprisingly buildings full of highly skilled trained professionals is......life is strange!

[fallbread]

bull 

[JosiahPhoenix]

The mother should have prayed for acting lessons

[FFXFREAK572]

God, taking credit from all the hard working doctors around the world, and many hours, months and properly even years perfecting the anti-venom that saved the little bastard...

[NonProphetess]

Why did they take him to the Doctor then? Did they instruct the Dr. to not treat him with any antivenom drugs? Was there a particular way they prayed that got god to save him that someone else who became bitten did not do in their prayers that caused them to die? I mean, these are important questions. Too many unanswered questions here for me to be able to even start to think about the possibility that this is indeed an answered prayer to a diety.

[undisputedgreatest]

I was just talking about how much prayer doesn't make sense tonight. Even if I did believe in a god, it wouldn't make sense. So, do Christians think of it like a telethon? God is a celestial Jerry Lewis that will perform a miracle if he gets enough prayers?

Bollocks.

[extrovertedthinker]

That next time you get bit by a poisonous snake, just pray...

[gothatfunk]

okay, is it just me, or did this have a decidedly creepy undertone?

[fruitikay]

LOL I remember this fucking episode.

[InYourFaceNewYorker]

@fruitikay What is this from??

[Cyanidekoolaid616]

lesson learned

[Cyanidekoolaid616]

jesus made the dog guide him to the snake. the snake bit him. jesus raped him then dumped the body at his parents house thinking he was dead. but little did jesus know his cock heals. the end

[Angelalynx999]

Yes, it was hope, prayer, and belief that saved him and not the thousands of man hours that went into the development of effective anti-venoms. Does anyone still fall for this crap?

[GoGoIkuzo]

Did that dog lead the boy to the snake?

Hmmmmm......

[Beeht]

Also, next time I'd like to see prayer save Mark from being mauled from a wolf, bear, or some other animal in those good ole woods and fields that he likes to wander around alone. :) I can see it now while standing over his mangled corpse.

Mother: "Please God, help my little boy."

*The boys hand twitches*

Mother: "Did you see that? He moved! Doctor, he moved!"

*In comes the Doctor*

Doctor: "Ma'am, sometimes corpses twitch. Why are you here? We're performing an autopsy on your son."

*Sigh*

[undisputedgreatest]

@Beeht Awesome.

Yes, pray for the amputee to regrow his/her lost limb. When that happens, I may pay attention.

[Southparker100000000]

anti venom = god

[Beeht]

Haha, of course they entirely leave out that the doctor gave him a powerful antivenom, fluids, etc. I'd hope so anyways. Unless this doctor also practices the "medicine" of prayer. In which case I'll seek a second opinion.
