You have no credible explanation for the universe you are in, life and the order around you, and you concern yourself with snakes.
Neither do you.

From Eve's perspective it was a talking snake. in reality I think that somebody(thing) was throwing their voice. It's a good decription of the deception.
It's clearly an allegory written thousands of years after the supposed event being depicted.

Edit: I actually think it's an interesting and resonant allegory. Insisting it's literally true seems so unnecessary and counterproductive.

Agreed. It might be safe to say that the snakes lips might have moved a bit.

I had an uncle once who could do a bit of ventriloquism and make the dog talk. A five year old would swallow it hook line and sinker.

Bronze Age and Iron Age people trying to get their heads around the human condition... and thousands of years later there are people convinced that Iron Age metaphors are literally true or even the characters featured in Iron Age allegories actually exist...

Do you believe God’s Holy Spirit indwells believers?
Not all "believers", to be sure.

It's not what's in one's head; it's what's in one's heart.

And you seriously think these are all the same person?

Must be nice to have a "boogieman" to blame stuff on.

I believe God’s Holy Spirit indwells all believers.

“But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.”

(Romans 8:9)

If He doesn’t, they’re not a Christian and not saved.

It appears to be his modus operandi - anytime he’s bested in an argument, he claims the person who bested him is someone else and launches off on a riff about that.

Yep. And now he's here yet again, this time as PlanterMoo.

You haven't "bested" anyone "in an argument".
