If gods were an explanation for the random forces of nature, or capricious and human like the Greek gods who mess with humans just for lols, then you can't expect justice or fairness from them. I think the problem of Job is that we have this tradition of God as always just and loving, and putting that next to a very old story of "sometimes life sucks and then you die" just. There is a lot of cognitive dissonance there and it's very unsatisfying. -Kivutar — Yesterday at 10:39 AM - +**Kivutar — Yesterday at 10:39 AM** Yeah, that's how I feel about it Being told "god loves you personally and wants the best for you" just feels gaslighty @@ -1042,8 +1038,9 @@ Being told "god loves you personally and wants the best for you" just feels gasl Gods as uncaring cosmic forces, see "the sun" above Getting angry at the sun for creating a desert is insane, and besides that silly -FlameRaven — Yesterday at 10:49 AM +**FlameRaven — Yesterday at 10:49 AM** Yeah, you can't get mad at a hurricane for wrecking your house - +**AcetyleneLamp — Today at 8:28 PM** +When I read Job, I pictured his friends sitting down in the ashes with him, which made them seem a little more empathetic.
