The tradition, however,
moves to lessen the Serpent’s divinity,
by citing, as a more significant text, the sentence, "The
craftiest of all creatures the Lord God had made." We see
this as an artifice, an act of misdirection.
The presence of
the Serpent with its
obvious godly powers and knowledge
opens the question as to whether the Abrahamic revelation is
truly monotheistic.
The “let us” phrase
of Genesis 1 is not trivial.
As we Earthfolk discerned that
there “had to be” a mother if there
was a father, a Mother Goddess and a Father God—that the “Lone” Male
image is actually one of misdirection, even possibly a lie—so
the “let us” validates our insight
into the fact that the Abrahamic creation story is truly about
abusive Dark Parents, godly though they be.

story and Genesis 1-3: discerning the presence of
the Mother goddess," by Francis X. Kroncke
