Yeah...I know the creation-story is the reference most people are using when they get into the "snakes are the devil" sort of talk. My point was that nowhere in the Bible does it say that interacting with a snake makes you a "devil worshipper" and nowhere in the Bible does it remotely imply that if you get bit by a snake you'll suddenly be possessed by the devil. So her interpretation of the relationship between snakes and the devil and us is not "literal" in any sense of the word...it's totally fictional bunk.
