RE: What is patriarchy? Is a patriarchy the same as a society led by men, or is it more, a society led by fear and a feeling of scarcity, that happens to be an environment in which the masculine takes charge?
YESSS! I started thinking the same at some stage: the snake wanted them to see the truth that was kept from them, how could that be a bad thing? There was something I found in the Koran some time ago, it said: Do not idolize false gods, for god is a jealous god....That to me meant there were other entities, while the books clearly state there is only one...
As I mention in my post, the snake is indeed seen as something to sharpen our discernment in the Koran. But the snake is seen more like something that is tolerated by Allah instead of an equal. I feel that God is always One, while S/He is many.
