Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

The serpent is an embodiment of Satan
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
