Job 40-42

[wolfpurplemoon]

God is describing monsters, fire breathing(?) monsters. But whatever it was it convinces Job that God is great and then God gives him back twice as much stuff as he had at the beginning.

I'm not sure you require faith in a God that pops by for a chat (not blind faith anyway), in fact Job says that it is the fact that he's seen God that has convinced him to take back any of the mean stuff he said.

And so Job lived to 140 and had a great rest of his life, glad it turned out OK in the end...

Sorry, no time for pusillanimous theodicies and anonymous cowards.

Oh, and just so you know that I'm not a coward...my name is Ashley...just forgot to post my name. The other Anonymous probably did the same. I'm proud of my Savior and will never be ashamed.

Really? I'd be mortified to profess a belief in an entity claiming to be almighty yet possessing all of the less attractive attributes of Kim Jung Il and Saddam Hussein. Is it some inner masochistic servility that makes this idea appealing to you?

When you can give me a shred of evidence that any such irrational, illogical, immoral, improbable construct that you call a god exists outside of your imagination, I'd be happy to chat with you. You can find my blog quite easily. Bogey-man threats stopped impressing me almost fifty years ago.
