see? we told you that you needed a serpent Oh hello there. Were you wondering what it would look like if a rural preacher (who looks vaguely like a Dorian Gray -style painting of Dick Clark stashed in his closet for 45 years) showed up on your YouTube Teevee and lectured you about how sex makes you homeless? Wonder no more!
Reminds me of what I've heard about the Song of Soloman: first, that no, it's about man and G*D (tm), and the second is that they issued an edict to forbid singing it in inns in ancient Israel....
Look. That video is like twenty really bad acid trips rolled into a few minutes.Here... I put the thorazine into some warm milk and here is a nice, hot chocolate chip cookie to munch.
Later I tell you a nice story about nice people doing nice things.
Thank you, Be Gin, but I haven't had any milk in more than 40 years. I'm as vegan as can be; even my chocolate chip cookies contain no dairy products or eggs. I only made it to 1:47 on the video because it was fascinatingly bad, and I'm OK now.
Oh I'm quite sure most sane Christians do. A problem I have with sane Christians is that they are so very passive about repudiating divisive, racist, homophobic, sexist crazies that hide under the same umbrella. We scream at Muslims to openly and actively repudiate fanatics among them, but we don't do the same with any other Abrahamic religious group. It's rather frustrating as a nonbeliever looking at all this from the outside. Beam in the eye and motes and all that, if you follow.
It is called the Serpent Seed Doctrine. It was proposed by a Prophet called William Branham who taught a version of the original sin that was highly unorthodox and which is referred to by his followers as the "serpent's seed" or "serpent seed" doctrine.
This doctrine is comprised of the following related beliefs:
The original sin in the Garden of Eden was not eating a fruit, it was a sexual sin;
Eve's sin was not disobedience, but sexual intercourse;
The serpent was an upright beast, effectively the "missing link";
Cain and Abel were maternal non-identical twins:
Cain was the son of Eve and the serpent; and
Abel was the son of Eve and Adam.The serpent's seed doctrine is based on a few scriptures that can be used in isolation to support a position that is not supportable when viewed in the context of ALL scripture.Here is a link to a sermon he preached on Sunday evening, 28th September 1958 at the Branham Tabernacle in Jeffersonville, Indiana, U.S.A.
God opposes long division.
He also wrote a bad review for The King's Speech!
Christ: Your two breasts are two young fawns.Follower: Uh, thank you?
I prefer the Jewish Book of Radiance, where sex is "rejoicing in the Lord".
The Tourism Bureau says ALL the snakes in Australia are non-poisonous!
Wouldn't they also be guilty of the Manichean Heresy?

Just another in a long line of repressed, sex-obsessed assholes. They assume everyone is a sex addict in the making just like them.
Sex with snakes?
Ted Cruz explained!
That book is non-referential.
You are not supposed to watch these things! They'll give you bad dreams!
Here..take this thorazine and call me in the morning.

Thanks but no thanks, doc. Thorazine's only for bringing people down off really bad acid trips, and I haven't had a trip since the 80s.
So now you are a doctor too?
