yeah. but the story of abraham, celebrating birthdays, the usage of serpants in history...sometimes i dont know what its all about. like its been said. you just have to believe in abram. there is no evidence of him. but you must know that its based on african believes. theres also a difference between egypt and kemet and their traditions, right? dont know what to think about birthdays and the background of celebrating it. and there are so many serpant in many different cultures, you just dont know what they represent. so im careful. i dont want to "defend" the bible in this case but i wouldnt say that the biblical satan and his appearance in the story of adam and eve is just an distorted image of the wise serpants of africa. dont know what satanism is all about.

but symbols are just symbols. thats right. the bible is not what it seems. cant trust the church.
