    Have you ever been called a "devil worshiper"?

    I met a lady and I happened to mentiont that I kept snakes. She sorta looked at me strange and then proceeded to call me a "devil worshiper" and If I get bit by "one of satans creations" I will be possesed and die.

    I laughed so hard it wasn't even funny. She looked very puzzled after I stopped. I didn't say anything back to her and proceeded to walk away. Still laughing my A$$ off in my head.

    lol. the nerve....

    I haven't been called a devil worshiper, but I have heard my fair share of comments towards my growing collection and love for animals. Some people just don't get it.

    Wow.. Just, wow, lol.. That's definitley a new one! I mean, being a person of faith I know that satan was in the form of a serpent when he met Adam and Eve in the garden, but ummm thinking someone is a devil worshipper just because they have snakes is a tad extreme..

    She would probably spontaneously self-combust from it all, lol.

    And people wonder why non-Christians think we're crazy.. Gee, because of people like them!!

    Does she not realize that technically God made snakes too? Otherwise why the heck would they have been in Eden. I'm sure that question would have dumbfounded her.

    Ya know....I really don't think that is such a "literal" translation of anything. At least, nothing I'm familiar with.

    I've never had anyone silly enough to say anything like that to me. If they did...I'd remind them that God also used the serpent as sign of healing and in other miracles as well. God isn't afraid of snakes.

    Re: Have you ever been called a "devil worshiper"?

    An Article that came up on google - Snakes and Religion

    "The mysterious and ambivalent nature of snakes has led to conflicting assessments of them. On the one hand, they represent death and evil, while on the other, serpents are believed to embody the divine and the good. In some religions, they can be both worshipped and accursed. For example, in the Bible the snake is a symbol of evil (Gn 3) and of life (Nm 21: 6-8). They play a major role in the beliefs of people because of their shape and their relation to their surroundings."
