"WHY a snake??"

[The Golem]

The favourite response I had when my sister-in-law asked "why a snake?": I'm allergic to cats.

I just laugh...HARD...when somebody tells me snakes are the devil. lol.

The serpent in the garden of Eden was the good guy. He gave Eve knowledge, it was God who wanted to keep us ignorant, obedient and subservient.

i work a lot, so low maintenance pets are ideal

plus the myriad of color and pattern variations is a definite plus

The snake didn't even say to eat it. He said something along the lines of "you don't die if you eat it. You get the knowledge of god." then eve couldn't be responsible and blamed the snake!
