This may sound like an odd question but I'm looking to purchase a new keyboard for my computer.
The keyboard has a picture of a snake on the space bar. I'm interested in the keyboard for its actually features, the orange backlit keys and the mechanical key action.
What I'm concerned about is if buying a keyboard with a snake on the space bar would be offensive to God? Admittedly I'm not a big fan of snakes as an animal but that aside does anyone have an opinion on this?

Don't do it!!!! Please! If you care about your mortal soul, by all means you should avoid it at all costs!
And while you're at it, make sure the T key is actually lower case so that it can work as a cross, too. Then pray to your keyboard at least three times a day.
Thats the final straw. I am getting my guns and going out in a blaze of glory. After the shooting stops and the world's media ask why I did it tell them that idiot pushed me over the edge.
NOTE: to avoid having the police crash through my door - I am joking of course.
@Broton, God can see through paint, of course! It would still be there, mocking him.
God made everything including snakes, but he apparently hates snakes and any representation of snakes. Come on, that isn't even internally consistent. And I don't recall any Bible verses that take offense to drawing snakes (though I wouldn't be altogether shocked if there were...).
Great googly moogly!
Don't you know literacy is a tool of Satan!?!?
It's too late for most of us, but you still have time! Give up the Debil's Keyboard!
There's nothing wrong with a bit of lighthearted internet chit-chat to while away the interminably tedious millennia while waiting for er...something exciting to happen.
However, this elevates internet chit-chat into something that's either terribly important, in which case it wouldn't be mere chit-chat, or lowers it to the level of banal drivel, in which case it possibly might be.
Oh come on, that has to be a troll, hasn’t it? Please, can someone tell me that this is not real? There cannot be people in the real world that are so stupid
@1595913:
That was funny. :-)
@Thrutch:
Mine says Qwertz uiop. Does that mean I can only summon a dyslexic demon? Or one with a strong German accent?
Yeah, I have an opinion; you're putting way to much weight on this insignificant detail, silly. If you have to avoid snakes at all costs, then throw out all encyclopedias and dictionaries, and don't forget to throw out the Bible; it has mentions of snakes in it.
Poor snakes; Satan disguised himself as one, and God sentence all snakes to slither on their stomachs through the dirt. Talk about blaming the victim...
@Kuno: Any demon with a German accent is always a lot more frightening than one speaking 'Murican. :D
Then again, the same goes for a demon speaking the Queen's English.
Oh, Rapture Ready still asking the important questions, I see. Never stop, RR. One could always just not use the space bar and typeeverythinglikethis. It would be as comprehensible as anything they would type normally, I'm sure.
Never mind the snake, god doesn't want you to use computers.
The computer was invented by an ateist, the program was invented by an atheist and the internet was designed using atheist principles.
It is a trap laid by satan to send your immortal soul to hell.
Dunk your computer in a bucket of holy water. Be sure to hold it down while it is plugged in. I'm pretty sure electricity was also invented by satan, so you should drown that in holy water too.
@UHM:
Wasn’t Quetzacoatl (sp) supposed to be a feathered snake ? Maybe czerney is actually on to something and we shouldn’t really mock him
Naaaahhhhh, he is still an idiot.
It's a wonder how this lot even know how a lightswitch works, never mind booting up their computers. But getting their knickers in a knot about a keyboard ?!
'but that aside does anyone have an opinion on this', you say czany, you crazy Raptard you...?:

Must be terrible being as mentally handicapped as you lot are at Ruptured Retards, eh? The 'Spiritual Lobotomy' required for becoming a 'belie ver' making you so herp-a-derp-derp retarded (ergo Ruptured Retards ). I wouldn't know about that, however. Curse my British state education emphasising 'thinking for Yourself ' above all else, 'indoctrinating' us with our innately English sense of Cynicism, and ability to Question Everything ; politics, the 'Establishment', even religion, nay, being satirical towards such institutions, especially in our media. Damn, but being so Intelligent really pisses me... er, I mean you US fundies off, eh?! [/hyper-sarcasm]
You know, I think czerney might have hit right upon what finally caused me to leave Christianity.
You're as paranoid about getting attack by demons as you are about being struck down by your own (supposedly merciful) god. There is no good guy in Christianity, just a lot of bullies. If you're worried about your god damning you to hellfire for buying a keyboard with a snake on it (I'm guessing razor), then you're religion just might be bad for you.

Apparently these things really exist:

Quote: "The limited edition Ducky Year of the Snake Keyboard is set for release Mid July 2013."
Perhaps he should order this to go with the keyboard:

NO IT WONT! BUY THE STUPID KEYBOARD, YOU DOLT!
Also, if you don't dig the snake, just remove it with some sort of thinner or remove the decal or what ever!
Better yet, see a shrink!
It's a stupid snake! God made snakes! Just another critter. You might as well have an elephant, slug or seahorse on your keyboard!
Yeesh! These guys would see devils in a bag of Cheetos!

There's always the Second Commandment:
"You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth."
-- Exodus 20:4

If this were ANYwhere but RR, I'd be inclined to call poe. However, there ARE folks this neurotic about such minutiae, and they DO tend to congregate in sites like RR.
I have a Coolermaster CM Storm keyboard and it has "QUICK FIRE" on the space bar.
Given that hell is made of fire, and you can be consigned there very quickly by failing to accept Jesus as your saviour, and given that the Devil - who is the Master of hell - is seen by young people today as cooler than God for some reason, will using this keyboard consign my soul to perdition?
"does anyone have an opinion on this?"
Yeah, your an idiot! A harmless idiot, but an idiot all the same.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
