ok. first off, i'm not a christian. i have however read the bible and understand it mostly but i tend to disagree with alot of it. i have a question for the christians out there. what on earth is the purpose of the book of job? basically, to me, what the bible is saying in the book of job is that god can fuck you over and there's nothing you can do about it and you should shut your mouth because he's god and he's always right.
to those who haven't read job, let me give you a recap. satan makes a bet with god that if god fucks with job long enough, then he will lose his faith in him. So god makes life awful for job. i.e., he does the whole plague thing, destroys all his property, kills his family and whatnot. job, bieng the mortal that he is, and on the verge of insanity loses his faith in god. god then appears to job and tells him basically to quit his bitching and that he shouldn't question god because god is always right. end of story.
now maybe its just me, but this seems really fucked up that someones god would do this to them. and whats more, it seems fucked up that people accept this.
maybe i'm wrong on some points, but basically i think i got the jist of it. please correct me if i'm wrong.
