And why is Satan necessary anyway? Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things. (KJV)
Tradition, dogma and Revelation tie Satan to dragons and that old serpent.
Either he was talking through the talking snake or snakes can naturally talk.
Christians use whatever they think is a good argument for either delusion.
No one with half a brain will believe in the fantasy, miracles and magic of a literal bible.
