    The devil was not there in Eden. The Bible simply says a serpent.

      The bible says lots of stuff, like this weird erotica about two slutty concubine sisters and how much they loved cock (which was too much):

      “There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses.”

      Truly, Divine Inspiration was given that day to that author. Praise be to Him for sharing His weird Smut with us little people.

        Isn’t that the story that ends in a brutal execution of the sisters? Because the author couldn’t think of nothing but the prostitutes that wouldn’t lay with him?

          Yeah, something like that. Not really an incel-revenge, though. More like hyper-possessive misogyny. Dude “marries” a couple of prostitutes from another country. Brings them home. Very likely they aren’t super happy with the arrangement since they are inviting dudes from back home to come over. Author frames it as if they prefer their donkey sized cocks (tiny penis rage). The author has a “chat” with God and God’s prognosis of the situation is to first condemn their “infidelity” to their face and then gather a mob to do some brutal shit to the women.

        It’s retconned that way. There’s nothing that directly connects the serpent of Genesis, the one “roaming throughout the earth” in Job, and the character of Satan later on. Satan wasn’t developed as a character until after the Babylonian Exile. You can make it all fit, but the text alone doesn’t say that and the writers didn’t think of it that way.

          Exactly, all my downvotes for stating a historical fact about a fictional book
