Lesson learnt.
Never (and I really mean it, never) start a discussion about your passionate love for snakes with an old woman whom you know to be truly madly deeply blindly Christian.
How are you even supposed to debate with someone who starts every sentence with "But the Bible says..."?!
FUCK BIBLE, HAVE YOU EVEN SEEN A SNAKE?!
Highlights;
- Snakes are mean animals who want bad things to happen
Darling, mine can't tell the difference between a dead mouse and a live one. There's no way she can tell what's right and what's wrong. Heck, most people can't.
- "I saw a snake once and it instantly tried to attack me!"
No, snakes do not attack for fun. They attack to eat OR when threatened. You are way too fat for a Finnish viper to eat, so chances are *drumroll* that you accidentally almost stomped it. -ANY animal would do that. Not just the "evil snake o Satan".
- I am the only person who thinks this way
No. There are actually clubs for people who have snakes. And the hobby is growing.
- Snakes belong to the wild
Sure. But so do cats and dogs.
- The Bible says a woman is always supposed to kill a snake
Wait. What happened to the "you shall not kill" -part?!
- The hate for snakes still remains as basic instinct in every one of us, and even though I want to play rebel, I must feel it somewhere deep inside my soul!
Well ...I don't.
"I am not trying to offend you, I am just following the words of Jesus!"
