Shoot the snake!
Crashfrog,
You ask,
My counter-question: How would you describe parents that would leave a loaded shotgun in the middle of their children's perfect playroom? Is that good parenting behavior to you?
Yes, if my children were trained to handle shotguns, and there was a danger of a dangerous snake coming around to kill them, that could only be stopped with a shotgun. Adam and Eve were created to serve Jehovah in His war with Satan, and one way we always win battles there is to resist temptation. All living creatures know happiness, if at all, as the emotion associated with being where you are adapted or supposed to be, doing what you are adapted or supposed to do.
Stephen
