Hello everyone!

as a christian, I have been told that people who use snakes in their rituals are devil worshipper for the snake is the serpent of the garden of Eden; it used to have another shape but because of the curse in Genesis, the serpent has been turned into a snake; I believed that and no one could really tell me about the exact shape of the serpent before the curse until I came across the verses below:

Revelation 12:9
This great dragon—the ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, the one deceiving the whole world—was thrown down to the earth with all his angels.

Revelation 20:2
He seized the dragon—that old serpent, who is the devil, Satan—and bound him in chains for a thousand years.

in the verses above, it is the "dragon" that is mentioned; we know that the curse in Genesis turned the serpent into snake; we also know that a dragon looks like a dinosaure; nowaday we don't see dragons nor dinosaures, they've all disapeared mysteriously; and if the dragon is the serpent as the Bible states, could it be that the real explanation of this disapearance is the one given in the Bible? have dinosaures and dragons been turned into snakes? because if we refer to the curse in Genesis, women still give birth with pain, man still struggles to get his daily bread, is the snake(cobra and others) the devil? are snakes the one making people of the world to lie, steal, kill,...? the snake?

the serpent in the garden of eden was not a real snake. it was a man of a different race and a different spirit. he was put on earth to be the wicked one. i will not mention names. and the apple is his doctrine. so it wasnt a snake or an apple.
