One of their preachers thought his wife had been unfaithful and demanded that she thrust her hand into a pit of rattlers to prove her virtue. She was bitten (it is unclear whether she had been unfaithful, but I have not known a snake to lie) and the preacher was charged with attempted murder.

That's nothing. There is this other religion, I cannot recall the name right now, and in that religion if a woman commits adultery, they dig a pit and put her in it and have her male family members crush her head with stones. And if in this religion, whatever the name is since I cannot remember, you blow yourself up while killing Jews, you go to heaven and you get to fuck virgins! Like 7 of them.
