The Christian mythologists, after having confined Satan in a pit, were obliged to let him out again to bring on the sequel of the fable. He is then introduced into the Garden of Eden, in the shape of a snake or serpent; and in that shape he enters into familiar conversation with Eve, who is in no way surprised to hear a snake talk. He persuades her to eat an apple, and the eating of that apple damns all mankind. --Thomas Paine, The Age of Reason
