I was just watching this vid recommended to me
t got me thinking about the textual signifiance of temptation in the Garden being portayed as a snake. The idea that the consequence of knowledge takes us from the paradisial garden of naked innocense to the fallen state of knowing good from evil and this being the basis of our flawed nature has always been a metanarrative I've enjoyed. The signifance that snakes had in the ancient near east never occurred to be until now and I was wondering what implications do you guys take from it?
