How did Satan get to the garden of Eden?

Nope, you're still wrong
Gen 3:1
1 Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman: 'Yea, hath God said: Ye shall not eat of any tree of the garden?'

That's what it says.

Stop saying nay. You aren't a pony.

Unless you're one of those brony freaks.

Such things only matters to pole dancers and paid "sex-ees" if you know what I mean.

Subtlety is the essence of which all rogues must strive, for it is their unknowing that grants them silent steps into the gates of Heaven.

None the less...being subtle doesn't mean you're animal.
And most people believe the Adversary is a spirit.

Nobody calls it the Adversary until later, when it's misunderstood [as it is here].

Being called an animal there, means it's an animal.

If you want to add more to the text, go right ahead.

Small bit of trivia: the serpent ate from the Tree of Knowledge first. That's how he knew.

Why else could he talk?

A: magic apple

I disagree, Satan favors flesh, not fruit.

The only reason he knew what the fruit had to offer, is because he knew what God had truly intended for him.

And if you can't 'see' the words....then you're blind.
You might as well go read some comics.

Are we getting any closer to talking about the serpent?

Does seem a bit hard to hold on to....does it not?

Mr. Satanist, Do you believe in Adam and Eve, or that we evolved from bacteria, or both?

Ah, finally!

I believe in Adam and Eve like they were one of the first Kings and Queens, per se, of one of the very first human tribes.

And yes, I also believe we evolved from bacteria. But as for the whole Adam and Eve thing I don't think it as literal as in the bible, if thats indeed how many people interpret it too be. I see Adam and Eve as essentially one of the earliest recorded dynasties.

Well this changes the plot far too much...and leaves out God's Adversary.
