Revelation 12:9

[sonofshadow]

And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. - Revelation 12:9

Does your religion think that serpents or dragons are smart and enlightened? You are deceived. You worship the Devil.

Actual serpents are animals -- they aren't any more evil than any other animals. The idea that they were especially wise came from the notion that they had the secret of immortality because they periodically shed their skins. This goes back at least to the Tale of Gilgamesh, from ancient Mesopoitamia, and is probably far older than the written version of that tale.

You stated: "Actual serpents are animals -- they aren't any more evil than any other animals" and while your proclamation is correct, it has nothing to do with my post.

As to how Satan reasons with his unwitting followers in order to convince them to revere serpents...well, you will have to take that up with him.

YHVH was there at the beginning when He spoke the universe in to existence. He preempts and supersedes any human writings. He provides instruction and elucidation pertaining to how things are, when, where, and how He sees fit. The writings of unregenerate pagans don't really matter. At best they are vain imaginings.

My post stands unscathed. Let those with ears to hear and eyes to see, learn from it. Let the willfully ignorant unregenerate pass on by, cursing the truth even as they run from it. They are doomed to mock what they cannot understand and are incapable of discussing the truth in any meaningful way.
