Snakes are evil.

Im also terrified of snakes, always been! Sat with both legs up i the sofa watching Stewe Irwin Handling Taipans and Browns. But I loved to watch, and been facinated ever since.
After a visited to the reptile-center in Oslo 2005 , I fell in love with this small balls of python!
Ive been waiting until now to get one!

So irrational fears/phobias are just that - irrational.

I have a fear of most bugs - I turn into a screaming little girl when something flies by me. I get the heebie jeebies just thinking about it now. I don't know why I'm afraid; logically I know I'm bigger than it is and I could squash it with no problem.

As for the evil part - if we still took the bible literally, we women are among the most evil things to walk the earth, as we've been vilified from day one in the bible (thanks a bunch, Eve!!!).

And I find that people who most often quote the bible like to pick and choose what to quote so it suits their needs. I wonder how many of them lie, cheat, and steal on a daily basis? Judge not, lest you be judged, I say. :D

Ignorance is not bliss. Sometimes people are just plain stupid, and stupid should hurt. I have had people ask why I let my daughter handle the snakes.. She is a big girl, she loves her snakes, and has been around them for a few years now. She know what and not what to do, and only with an adult supervising. Yet people seem to think they are going to eat her alive or something. Maybe they could stand to learn something from a child.

Oh the ignorance.... :slamhead:

It's hard changing an image, and you really can't do much about it until a person is willing to sit back and actually look/listen to what you're trying to show them. The process was long, but I've graduated my step mother from having to call my snakes "rabbits" for her own sanity to asking me once in a while about how the snakes are doing. She refuses to see them or be in the same house as they are, but it's been baby steps to getting better about it. I don't want her to like them, but I do hope someday she'll give them a chance
