you read the book wrong like 99% of people
read it again, think again about their sense of humor
the only person that talks any sense in that book is the child and even though he talks perfect sense, Job rejects the child's teaching initially, rebuffing him as a child. All of Job's adult friends "the wise men" have only told him nonsense.
And note the humor God has when someone challenges him. God bluffs himself up but never actually admits wrongdoing with his words. God does admit wrondoing with his deed by rewarding Job, but part of the moral teaching of the Book of Job is that it's ridiculous from the premise.
>Job was the richest man in all the land with 400 cattle and 2000 camels and a whole house full of his family and servants, and he threw parties every day and everyone respected him greatly
The Bible isn't a fairy tale but it does contain at least one and the prime initial suspect is the Book of Job intentionally written as fiction, thus it's set in the "Wisdom and Poetry" section, and not say Law or History which are distinct.

Fucking thank you.
>Rich people can rarely get into heaven
>God increases the material wealth of Job at the end
>This isn't considered the ultimate fuck you by 99% of people

Could you use your superior atheist intelligence and explain to us poor theists how the Book of Leviticus is a fairy tale?

retard-tier thinking

I found the God exhange hilarious as hell.
>Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me.
It sounds like God is challenging Job to a street fight, only since God is omnipotent the idea is ridiculous.

Wait until you discover the rest of the book it's usually bound in.

>>24782625
Doesn't describe how Jews are to ritually sacrifice children and drink their blood so it's a fairytale.

Kek, true.
God in the Bible canonically has sense of humor.

Holy filtered

my dick.

think of it this way:
Job is an upright man because he's self employed and his "just in case" sacrifices are quarterly estimated taxes, He trusts the government, yet he gets fucked at the end during spring tax season and god and satan are politicians

Reminder that Jobs are called Jobs because God is punishing you for just existing and laughing the whole time.
Better get to sleep so you're not in late tomorrow, wagie.
