Everyone seems to miss the whole point of the story of Job.
The point is that he is pious even at the worst of times. His faith in Yahweh isn’t because his faith is rewarded, or that his life is good.
And that true faith overcomes and resists all temptation, even when times are at their hardest.The story is however a great example of the objectification of women though, when his wife is replaced by a younger, hotter, one at the end.
No, we got the point.
You missed the one where that’s the ideology of an abuser.
OK, maybe I missed the memo on that as I keep seeing it as a go to to show that “belief is stupid” , or that “religion is dumb”, which there are far better story picks to show.
Cause the comic here making Job’s faith about protecting his family is not what Bible Job would pray for. But I’m probably putting too much into a cute little gotcha! comic for anti-thiests.
Also his kids are replaced too. Story is very fucked.
Yup. That too.
The morals of it are fully borked. Just don’t “at” it on the faith angle.
People who talk to God i can understand. People who heard God talk to them are very concerning to me.
No shit, the most concise and accurate portrayal of the story of Job is in a random South Park episode:

I’m with Kyle on this one.
That pause at the end. So good.
Funniest part was how whoever wrote Job didn’t realise it was for a monotheistic religion, and they had to rewrite the other god as the devil!

“Fuck yo family, Job!”
