The term "God Fearing" means that we REVERANCE God. It does not mean that we literally are afraid of Him!!! As God gave us the choice (free will) as to wheather or not we will follow Him or Satan, and our goal is for our souls to have eternal life and to be WITH God, why would we literally FEAR Him? Satan appeared as a snake in the Garden of Eden. You should not worship them!!! You have free will!!! Pick up a Bible and read it chapter by chapter, verse by verse, and you will no longer ask blasphemous questions.

I would rather worship a snake than a God. At least snakes exist.

The statement GOD FEARING is one that is taken out of context.
the fear of snakes is natural.
No you shouldn't worship them.

Snakes Alive!There were a considerable number of "Gnostic Christians" that were killed by the prevailing Christians once long ago,for an anathema alot like that ...Actually it was just a different Astrosophical understanding of Genesis and the "Logos"...Ophidian...What else do Christians fear?... they often kill things they fear....

You are right to fear snakes, they actually exist. No need to worship them though, just send your offerings to me.

You are mistaking fear with respect. God doesn't want us to be fearful in the sense that you do with snakes, He wants us to have a reverent fear, or high respect and honor for him.

The fear is more about respect and awe of power, I think, than actual terror. Otherwise, Bush would be worshipping Bin Laden, and that may screw things up a bit.

If you are Hindu go ahead..................these are the names of their snakes gods
1. Shesha (Adisesha, Sheshnaga, or the 1,000 headed snake) upholds the world on his many heads and is said to be used by Lord Vishnu to rest. Shesha also sheltered Lord Krishna from a thunderstorm during his birth.
2. Vasuki allowed himself to be coiled around Mount Mandara by the Devas and Asuras to churn the milky ocean creating the ambrosia of immortality.
3. Kaliya poisoned the Jamuna / Yamuna river where he lived. Krishna (Balakrishna / infant Krishna) subdued Kaliya by dancing on him and compelled him to leave the river.
4. Manasadevi is the queen of the snakes.
5. Ananta is the endless snake who circles the world.
6. Padmanabha (or Padmaka) is the guardian snake of the south.
7. Astika is half Brahmin and half naga.
8. Kulika

Fear means reverential awe. And we don't worship because we fear. That is, you don't worship God out of fear; you worship Him because He is worthy with an attitude of fear. As in, you worship Him in fear. Ta-da!

Fear of snakes is an unhealthy one.
Snakes can't turn you into a gerbil or a vibrator (although that might not be such a bad thing)
