I guess i should clarify, I was saying it more literal that serpents are evil, not necessarily devil worshiper . i mean the serpent is was made adam take the bite, so they are evil. but I agree with you.

also when I asked "do you happen to know more about stories with god using the serpent in that manor?" i was refering to snakes being used for signs of healing, after rereading it I realize I was not very clear about what I was referencing.
