Question the Second
In Christian mythology, the snake takes on the image of Satan, the Tempter, when it convinces Eve and Adam to eat from the Tree of Knowledge. Interestingly, snakes take on similar roles in other mythologies, but are revered as initiators of change and symbols of awakening. What implications, if any, do these disparate views have for the core principals of Judaic and non-Judaic spirituality? What relationship does the biblical allegory have to Western naturalism? Humanism? Discuss.

I may not agree with what you say. But I'll defend to the death your right to say it.
