i would personally tell them to get there nose out of the bible for at least 5 minutes and come back to reality and then say stuff about you, because the bible says "all serpents are devils" to some people, which is effin ridiculous, i mean, you do your own thing and so do they,**OFFTOPIC**. i am 13 and in 7th grader and i get asked all the time why i want pet snakes, i answer with "because i want them, is it a bother to you?" also another question i get it why i have my septum pierced, or my hair jet black, my skinny jeans, all questions lead to the same answer, "because i want them or it, is it bothering you?"
