Proverbs 26:21 As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire; so is a contentious man to kindle strife. What I would like to know , is why something like this said in one place is "The Word of God" and when it said centuries before in another place , by darker skinned people perhaps , or they had almond eyes , and saw God in the wind , the radiance of the sun , and seas ...or in a great "Harmony/Balance of the world ...so forth and so on ... it is not? You have the roots of the word "God" itself, coming out of the Sanskrit word "Devas" , and later Zeus for the Greeks . You have the serpent reviled in your Hebrewic fairytale , and yet over with the people that invented God first , they see it quite differently . The Snake sheds it's skin and to them it is percieved as eternity made manifest . So they see the divine in the snake made manifest here on earth . Snakes are quite kosher you know , and harmless if you leave them alone, and you can have your fairytale of evil talking snakes of Satan , but others have better ones. You Christians see far too much evil in the world , and so perpetuate it. And of course , Jesus was just slightly mad and obsessed with the Hell and brimstone fires ideas...enough to curse fig trees and send pigs to their deaths off cliffs. No salvation for those little piggies , alas! So many fairytales , so little time...
