The story of Adam and Eve (if you want to look at it in depth), states that the 'snake' didn't start out as a snake...It was described as multi-colored and beautiful, with an enchanting voice, 4 legs and a tail, more like a large lizard than a snake...So beautiful that Eve trusted it, and that was why she did what it said...AFTER it led Eve astray it was punished by God...It was told that it would no longer be beautiful, that it would be feared instead of trusted, and that it would be forced to 'crawl on its belly' forever after...It was at that point that it lost its legs, and its voice, and became a snake...That's also supposed to explain why many people have a natural, inherent fear of snakes, even if they have never been hurt by one, or even come in contact with one...
So...Does that mean that God thought the snake was just being a dick when he did what he did?...:D
