Women evil, huh? Interesting. I guess it's always possible, but God (or Whomever) gave women a different mentality and a deeper sensitivity than He gave to men. Women are the nuturers (sp) and life givers and yes, we get moody and yes we get hostile. I think it is mostly bescause life has moved so far away from what it was meant to be. Women no longer get to stay by the caveside or close to the huts, caring for and raising the children of all ages, tending to the garens, making rugs, etc while men work on the food gathering weapons and rituals. No longer do we have that wonderful sense of community and well being. I think that's why we have so many unhappy (read depressed women and men, sadly, children, too) feeling that we are living unfullfilling lives. Same with men. They had an outlet for aggressive tendencies, hunting, etc. Now, we are all trying to live 'productive' lives in a way totally foreign to the way God designed. Now the nuturers and the hunters are all trying to survive in cubicles to make almost enough to get by. Whatever happened to the whole community working together to keep the entire unit going?
Anyway, totally off-topic (sort of), but women aren't evil, just incredibly frustated, just like most men.
WHat is actually evil isn't snakes, or women or even mankind itself, but the modern pace and misery in which we now are forced to live. Our lifestyle is evil. Our snakes are just a way of bringing a bit of nature back into our lives which are too full of modern conveinences, fast paced jobs and meaningless existances. Your grandparents and the others like them are the ones caught up in the middle, so to speak. They are closer to what was 'right' than we are now. As life continues to get 'better' and more 'modern' we will lose those deeply ingrained although erronious impressions. In a way, that may be a good thing as people loose their fear of snakes, but in a way it's a terrible thing, because it means more loss of our 'innocence' and spirituality. My computer can mistrued as evil (internet) because of the time spent 'wasted' on it. I could be out doing that veggie garden (which I plan on doing this weekend) instead, I am here wishing for the sense of community we lost when we started living for the almighty dollar instead of for the benefit of our 'tribe.' I come here to rtb becuase that is as close as I can get to a family type community unit where everyone is working for the benefit of all instead of just for themselves.
I hope I made a little sense, it's hard to put into words my opinions, but if you all just get the underlying meaning, than I may have gotten it out correctly.
Snakes are a symbol, a dollar bill is a symbol, cars are symbols. It is just each person's opinions as to just what they symbolise.
