No flaming. *is walking around with a fire extinguisher strapped to back* A moderator will be contacted if this gets out of hand (I don't think it will, but just in case, you know?).

I don't since I have a very loveable pet snake, but there are a lot of people at my church who think that snakes are demons/satanic/etc. What do you guys think? Just wondering...

(Yes, I have pictures of him. ^_^)

I don't think they are evil. In the bible, Satan is represented by a snake, but that doesn't mean regular ones are. Come on, they are just animals. (no offense Heart of Sword)

yeah! they're animals! No animal should be considered evil! poor snakes... they must feel bad if people thought they were evil! It's their nature to be how they are ^_^

A moderator will probably see it, too. We do try to read all these posts, you know...

Mods are sooooooo cool...

Well my snake's eyes are red so that doesn't help much. But his scales are white. He's an albino...so pretty....

I don't think snakes are evil, though i see them as a bad pets. My parents used to own 2 pythons and they don't do much. But if you want a pet that doesn't need to much care a snake is your best bet. And personal opinion birds (cockatoos) are the worst pets, they squawk all day... ahh...

change churches... okay, so I am just kidding here.

Seriously though, in the account of Genesis the serpant seemed to be walking about on legs, since he was cursed to go on his belly after the incident. I mean, it could have originally been a reptile like a Komodo dragon or something. And then, the serpent is cursed first, then the woman, and don't I know about that curse. ] (Yes, I have pictures of him. ^_^)[/QUOTE]I want to see the pictures! Snakes are cute.

I love snakes, I don't think they are evil..

I wish I had one for a pet..

OOOO snakies lets see the pics!
I don't think theyre evil, but I wouldn't want to meet a wild and poisonous one! ><

Satan could of just as easily appeared in the form of a badger instead of a snake. Remember when Jesus transferred the demon from the man into the swine well pigs aren't evil either.

I agree that I don't think snakes are evil. My mom never let me own a snake but my cousins had 2, a guy and girl and well they had babies and so... to make it short there were a lot of snakes at there house One time the babies got loose and they were everywhere... another time I was spending the night and one of the snakes got out of it's cage and slithered it's way into my bed and curled around my feet... I woke up and was like calm down.. don't kick the snake.. cause I was still so young and kinda, well scared. anyway I think snakes are cool

Not evil. Just yucky. (no offense.)

I don't think snakes are evil. Just like I don't think cats and bats are evil (and yes there is a misconception in some parts that cats are evil).

Personally I think bats are cute (well some species anyway). And some snakes are beautiful (I love the banana boas). I'm not afraid of them like some people, but I don't care to encounter one in the wild either

I think snakes are beautiful creatures. I love them, even the poisonous ones. Cobras are cool. XD XD I told you I'm an animal lover hehe.

My friend has 3 pet snakes, 2 pink/white corn snakes and 1 python. I've played around with them before, they can be nice pets if you know how to care for them. The only things you might have to endure is feeding them the frozen baby mice. ^__^;

But no, I don't think snakes are evil.

I love garden snakes. the little ones. They are so cute.

At grandparent's house, we had as a pet for two days (then we set it free of course!) It was always tame and never tried to bite, unless it felt you were afraid. But when I handle it, it was always calm and cute and just slithered in my hands.

So small! So cute! XD

No, I don't think snakes are evil anymore than I think women are. I like them actually. Big ones need to be *behind* the glass, though. A little non poisonous one would be a nifty pet, though.

I've always had a phobia of snakes. They just freak me out. If I see one in my yard, I will not hesitate to kill it.

On a side note, they can be dangerous pets. I've heard one story of a woman who's giant pet snake escaped and tried to have her for a midnight snack. She woke up with the giant snake wrapped around her with his mouth firmly attatched to her bottom. Her husband had to call the fire department, who immediately arrived and had to chop off the snake's head.

Again, if you like them, that's fine with you, but I really don't recommend ever keeping one for a pet.

snakes are cool!!!

I don't see how snakes could possibly be evil. I have had a few of them myself. A Florida Kingsnake, a couple ball pythons, and this one small albino snake with red eyes. he was cool.

hmmm....interesting....

1 Now the badger was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? 2 And the woman said unto the badger, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: 3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. 4 And the badger said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: 5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.

lol! xDD

I know that's serious, but BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! -gasps for breath- BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!! -cough- hehee, the snake bit her bum. -cough- hehehe. I'm ok now. XD

No, I don't think they're evil, but that doesn't mean I love them...

Snakes are most certainly not evil! I've had an odd fascination with them since I was little, but my mom never let me have one because she thinks they're disgusting. I'd love to have a snake one day, though. ^_^

I don't think that snakes are evil. They're just animals like birds or something...I just think snakes should be free and not kept in captivity (translation: I think they should stay outside so they could not potentially bite people, i.e. people meaning me.) o_o I've got something of a snake phobia. Hooray!

It is my opinion that snakes aren't evil. Nevertheless, I wouldn't get cuddly with even the non-venomous ones.

Precisely.

ACK! Snakes are horrible, creepy little creatures! My dad used to keep them in a tank and they had such evil little eyes. I think they were, in fact, Satan... Okay, so not Satan, but I really do hate those little invertebrates. I have a slight phobia which involves squealing at the sight of one. lol

Snakes have vertebrae. Therefore, they are not invertebrates.

My snake, Zekes, is too smart to bite me. I got him when he was a hatchling, about half the size of a pencil. He slithered up to my hand in the pet store and bumped his nose against it; I instantly fell in love. He's 4 1/2 feet long now and adores me. He only bit me once, but that was because he was shedding (so he was blind) and he thought that I was one of his frozen mice (it was also feeding day). As soon as he bit me, he let go and buried his face in the shavings. I had to coax him out.

He likes to hide in my shirt...he wraps around my neck, then carefully lowers himself into my sleeve and curls up in it.

Maybe that python bit the owner's rear because she didn't get him as a baby and fed him live animals or something...that can make them aggressive. Anyway, Zeke's not dangerous.

No...I do not believe that snakes are evil...I love the little things. I wish I had a pet snake....oh well. Anyway...here's a pic of my favorite snake. *FB fans should appreciate this*

He looks like Zekes!
