I'm a born-again Christian, and I have 15 snakes. I know a couple of other Christians who own snakes or want to own one eventually. Where do we fit in with that logic?
Plus, even though Satan did turn into a snake in Eden, the Bible doesn't say they're evil. He turns into a lion at one point too, but lions aren't considered evil either. And in Proverbs 30, it is even stated that snakes are one of three of the most wonderful creations on Earth.
Back on topic, all I can say is that things will be interesting in the coming weeks as to what USARK will do and what this new group will be like.
