The crazy part about the book of Job is that it made the final cut. Like, with all the things cut from the Bible, the book that makes God look the most like a petulant asshole stays in? What’s up with that?

Hey now, how can someone who tortured Job for shit and giggles not be a good guy :)

I think that’s my favorite story. God killed Job’s family to win a bet and then just gave him a new wife and children. Because women and children are perfectly interchangeable. As long as you ended up with the same number no harm was done. And his wife and children themselves suffering and dying? Don’t worry about it.

Yep, men are the only main characters. Everything else is just their possessions.

I recently watched a 20 minute video (the title was like “After watching this you cannot deny that god exists”) and the guy used this story to justify that human suffering exists and is not an argument against the existence of god. So much bullshit and wasted time but oh well…

clearly the suffering is proof of the benevolent God :D
