Now you sound like you are changing your story. At first you
identified the serpent with Satan, now you seem to be saying Satan was
"behind the serpent". If you think about it, there is a
difference. You seem to abandon one weak theory to adopt another weak
theory. Please think it over and be consistent so that we can discuss
this in a sane manner.

Note that in Numbers 22:28 it was not the angel that gave the ass the
ability to speak but God. It was God that gave the ass the ability to
speak (was behind the ass), the angel was in the front of the ass not
"behind the ass". You got it backwards in Numbers and in the Genesis
account no angel was recorded to take part in the temptation, and later
cherubs were used to guard Eden, but they do not come into the story
until the last verse of chapter three. I think that your imagination
is over worked and needs a rest.

Rather, if you see a random person on the street, who might
be a Moslem, Athiest, JW, mass murderer, you aren't violating
this verse if you decline to be "of one mind" with him.
