      The bible says lots of stuff, like this weird erotica about two slutty concubine sisters and how much they loved removed (which was too much):

      “There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses.”

      Truly, Divine Inspiration was given that day to that author. Praise be to Him for sharing His weird Smut with us little people.

        It’s retconned that way. There’s nothing that directly connects the serpent of Genesis, the one “roaming throughout the earth” in Job, and the character of Satan later on. Satan wasn’t developed as a character until after the Babylonian Exile. You can make it all fit, but the text alone doesn’t say that and the writers didn’t think of it that way.

          Exactly, all my downvotes for stating a historical fact about a fictional book
