Bimini15 0 Report post Posted October 25, 2017 LOL ... I got a kick out of this, Joel. "... I have no F-ing idea why so many people have the attitude toward them that they do." It just so happens, this topic is playing out on another site I visit. Seems there's still a LOT of people who equate snakes with the garden of Eden "serpent". Exactly! Sneaky little things, convinced Eve to eat healthy, and human kind was doomed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

God cursed it to drag its belly and if you've ever seen a monitor lizard walk, it's belly hangs down usually and leaves a drag mark. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikechell 0 Report post Posted October 25, 2017 If you're going to believe the fairy tale of Eden ... then there's no reason to believe the "serpent" was a modern-day reptilian at all. Since it was "cursed" AFTER the deed with Eve ... then it's form previous to that could've been anything. I mean, it SPOKE and convinced Eve ... Did ALL the animals speak there? To "blame" ANY animal for the stories of the bible ... is like blaming NASA for the fall of the Jedi !!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
