    You forgot the bit where god literally destroys everything the man ever had and owned. Oh but it is alright because god gave him a new family and other stuff after that. What if Job said fuck you god you don’t exist, after being left with nothing? Would god have just fucking smitten him where he stood or what? The story only works because Job keeps his faith but that does not absolve god of all the shit he did to Job.

      BUT when you realize it’s an allegory for “keeping strong and continuing to work through adversity instead of giving up” and the mystical beings were made up to help the story … much like the snake that licks the file in aesops tales … it makes sense.

        Most Christians do not consider Bible stories to be allegorical and suggesting as much can be called heresy.

        Many, many things could be different and better if more people realized more of those stories are allegory.

    Well my point is that Satan is kind of awful too anyways. He is not exactly in opposition to the terrible things God is doing in the Bible.

      Lucifer is cast as the villain. Of course he’s shown as bad. What’s incredible is that he’s not shown as significantly more bad than Yahweh
