Imagine being that cute little snake sitting there grinning at God after He'd expelled Adam and Eve.
"And the Lord God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:
And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel."
So does that mean that God took the snake's little legs away and now he'd have to crawl on his belly and eat dust?
If God was that mad, why didn't he just obliterate snakes altogether?
Or is it more possible that God couldn't really bring Himself to be mad at the snake, especially a talking snake? Wouldn't something like that be like His premier animal creation?
