: : : This morning a co-worker informed me that she ran over a snake "as big as her arm" this morning because A) "you know what the bible says", and B) her mom got bit by a rattler when she was 11. This woman is now in her 70s. There are no rattlers in downtown Austin anymore. Come to think of it, there are no snakes as big as her arm at all. (She's kinda' fat)

:
: Shakly?,

: Sounds like your ignorant co-worker used the BIBLE as an excuse for her own irrational fears and hatred of one of GODS creatures. This is the quote from the bible that your co-worker so conveniently used to extinquish the life of one of Gods creatures:

: Genesis 3:14-16
: "So the Lord God said to the serpent,"Because you have done this,
: "Cursed are you above all the livestock
: and all the wild animals!
: You will crawl on your belly
: and you will eat dust
: all the days of your life.
: And I will put enmity
: between you and the woman
: and between your offspring and
: hers;
: he will crush your head,
: and you will strike his heel"

: So basically, the creature before this, before Eve was tempted had LEGS. God changed that game plan and took them away. I beleive that what he was imparting is a consciousness of fear in people and perhaps in snakes. Who KNOWs how wel they got along before that, or what shape the best truly was?

: Based on your thinking, that the BIBLE killed that snake, I would, as a Christian myself, snap the neck of every snake in my collection, throw them in trashbags, and call up the disposal company to haul them away.........
: Luckily that isnt going to happen on my shift.
: I find it REPREHENSIBLE that your coworker would purposely run over and kill ANY animal, let alone a snake!I think that that person is just basically ignorant, and were it Christianity ,Islam, or perhaps Dowism, she would find an excuse for her own irrational fears and lack of sanctitiy of life. People like that get abortions and dont think twice about it. Life is not valuable to them. That is not an indication of religion, rather a mind set of a society at large that devalues life in ALL its forms , even human life. Next time find a better cheerleader for your agenda. My non Christian friends(Read Buddhist and Humaists) would HIGHLY agree.
