Footnote 105:
It is significant that in the beginning of the Bible Nature-worship
seems stamped as accursed in its symbol, the serpent, and that the
whole Bible from beginning to end is a Divine protest against that
worship in all its forms. Mankind in all ages is tempted to become as
the gods, and in a low condition he has almost everywhere succumbed to
the temptation. He feasts his gods, compels them to serve him, is
really higher than they, and thus he degrades himself or falls from
the ideal of one made in the image and after the likeness of God.
