Most Christians ignore what the Bible says.
It doesn't really matter whether the snake was Satan or not. It doesn't affect your daily life or how you should live as a believer.
The fact that Christians completely ignore, or "interpret away" Matthew 5, Matthew 25 is far more disturbing. In Matthew 25 Jesus speaks plainly. People who accept Jesus and believe they are following God are sent to eternal torment because they didn't help immigrants, the poor, and people in jail.
And that part about forgiveness and the part about not judging and the part about showing mercy? They are all in there. They are all absent from most modern churches.
And the the parts of the Bible about honoring the flag, speaking English and defending your gun rights...
