And as we humans are typical to do, the Israelites made an idol out of the serpent example, making little copies of the serpent on the pole and praying to it when things got rough following the entry into the Promised Land. It was several generations later that a new king over Israel had to ban the idols and the practice of praying to the imagery. ... Reminds me of a certain religion in our day that uses idols to pray to and through.

Please do not disrespect metmom's devotional threads with bigoted and ignorant snide remarks about other Christians. Thanks.
