Bushes and snakes don't talk. But God Spoke to Moses from the burning bush. As for the talking snake, Satan used it as though to talk to Eve, like what a ventriloquist would do using his puppet.

Adam and Eve had a talking snake. I never heard about the bush. Maybe somebody was hiding in the bush, and talking.
As for the talking snake, church people believe that cause to disbelieve it would be a sin. Everything in the Bible must be believed or they will go to Hell. Kinda weird, but that's how it works.

Because God can do as he pleases. And if he pleases, the stones will stand up as Abraham's children and cry out. And if God is not willing, you're not going to be alive tomorrow.
Who are you to question God? Don't you know that you are made of dust and you will return to dust?
What holds the earth up in space? And what holds neutrons and protons together in the nucleus of atoms?
Can you tell the Sun not to come up in the morning? Can you change the paths taken by the stars?
Speak now, and answer like a man.

Depends on who is doing the manipulating.
People believed a wooden dummy named Charlie McCarthey not only could talk but, had a top rated TV show and was in several movies long ago.

don't forget that Jesus said "if the people here did not cry out (that he was the King of the Jews) even the rocks would have". So he even had the rocks crying out if he wanted to. I like the story where a Saint preached to the fish along the beach because the people wouldn't listen to him. I am not ridiculing religion because as much as you think it is funny, I think every bit of it is true because God can do anything.

We don't. We do believe the supernatural forces can bend the laws of nature. Jesus walking on water. A donkey talking. A man being raised from the dead. These things are not "common". They only happen when some supernatural force is at work.

why is it you assume that we believe that?
the bible makes it pretty clear to anyone who's actually studied it that Satan was playing vantriloquist with the snake and that an God was sounding his voice from the direction of the burning bush

Because they were brainwashed as children. The same way most of us were. The only difference is I grew up and learned better.

We don't think they can talk...we KNOW they can. You forgot about the donkey who talked.
It's not about the "magic animal" it is about the AWESOME GOD!!"
Now go on and give me the big thumbs down cause you don't want to hear about how wonderful GOD is...you only want to make fun of things you do not understand.
