Nope!
Interpretations are like opinions, they can be whatever you want them to be on whatever day of the week it happens to be.
Since I am an Atheist I just take what it says at face value. Makes perfect sense to me that there would be animosity between man and snakes and that man would crush their heads and snakes would bite their ankles.
None of that needs to be "interpreted" since it is nothing more that a warning to watch out for snakes and what to do if you encounter one.
LOL.... as far as interpretations go, yours is remarkably shallow.
A talking serpent should have been a dead giveaway to anyone with a second grade education, whether they believe in God or not, that the story has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with snakes.
Did you completely miss the part where I clearly stated that I am an Atheist and take what it says at face value?
As an Atheist I consider all of those "interpretations" to be nothing but self serving attempts to find a "meaning" in superstition and mythology that doesn't actually exist.
As I said, whether you are an atheist or not, your interpretation is extremely shallow.
I would compare it to a person, whether they believed in God or not, reading the story of the three pigs, taking it at face value, and dismissing it as superstitious mythology with no meaning other than as a warning about wolves in the forest and what to do when one is encountered.
I hate to break the news to you but there is obvious meaning behind a talking snake as surely as there is meaning behind a talking wolf that has nothing whatever to do with snakes or wolves.
Your refusal to acknowledge this obvious truth is an indication of animus and a lack of integrity and your inability to comprehend bronze age fairy tales written to educate children has nothing whatever to do with atheism as much as it has to do with obstinate stupidity..
You are entitled to believe whatever myths and superstitions float your boat.
As an atheist I prefer pragmatic reality.
Your puerile ranting was mildly amusing.
Have a nice day.
