In the first place, Goliath, the Philistine champion , was no serpent, but an 'uncircumcised' (and thereby guilty) giant of a man. In the second, Goliath was not killed by beheading, but beheaded after killing. (Sir, read 1 Samuel 17:50 carefully if you trust your Bible ).

Rest of your explanation reads like a sinister version of a witchcraft legend. You cannot apply logic to stories on witches and witch hunt;. While at it, you also make a naked display of protestant hatred against Catholicism - showing how 'King' Christ who came to save only the Jews and no other 'dogs' (his words) eventually ended creating several anti-Jewish cults in his name that are at each others' throats.
