When reading the Bible you will come across many curious and even ridiculous things. The Book of Deuteronomy is a very good example of such. Many people may try to tell you that there is much in the Bible that is supposed to be metaphor. That's right. God didn't mean it that way, He meant it THIS way. God didn't mean it this way, He meant it THAT way. The Book of Song of Solomon really takes the cake when it comes to metaphor, though. This entire book sounds like porn. Seriously. It is divinely sanctioned porn. Of course, I suppose that interpretation would depend on what God is telling you the verses really REALLY mean, right? The guy who wrote this dastardly book isn't <i>really</i> talking about marrying and sleeping with his sister, no way. The guy who wrote this book isn't <i>really</i> talking about kissing and doing other <i>things</i> with a man.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: blue;"> This is the third and final posting for the questions for the Book of Ecclesiastes. Ecclesiastes is a mournful and depressing book, much like many in the Bible, but the difference I find with Ecclesiastes is its depth of depression that very obviously originates with the horribly hopeless idea that EVERYTHING is meaningless. Remember, this absurd and deeply melancholy notion of meaninglessness is in text that is supposed to be inspired by God. You might think that a God of everlasting love and immutable beauty would be more adept to something more along the lines of <i>shining</i> inspiration, truly happy words that uplift and encourage. I guess not.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: #990000; font-family: Trebuchet, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: yellow;"> 1. Ecclesiastes 12:8 says that everything is meaningless. This is not the only verse that states such. In fact, much of Ecclesiastes is about everything being meaningless. If everything is meaningless, why in the world would God judge anything?</span></span></div>

Would judging the meaningless be considered pointless? If God is judging the meaningless wouldn't He be behaving in a pointless manner?

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: #990000; color: white;"> Here we have the second posting for the Book of Ecclesiastes. This book of the Bible just gets screwier and screwier with some of the little stories and snippets of supposed wisdom that it contains. Many of the verses are in direct contradiction with other verses, almost to a point of aggravation. This is a truly ridiculous book of the Bible. How can people read this muck and harbor even an inkling of wanting to believe in this God that has inspired such filth?</span></div>

<span style="background-color: #990000; color: orange;"> Here we are at the Book of Ecclesiastes. This is a depressing book of the Bible if there ever was one, right? I mean, Psalms was pretty bad and Proverbs wasn't exactly a piece of pie but Ecclesiastes is seriously depressing. As you read through this book of the Bible you really must wonder about the state of mind, the depth of depression of the individual who wrote it. Many individuals who read it will choose to take the words as poetic in value, mere metaphors and similes. Yet, the dark nature of many of these words really leave the reader to wonder...did God/the Lord really inspire these terrible words of dread and depression and sorrow and deep absence? </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: #990000; color: orange; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"> 1. Let us take this verse for the poetic value since, obviously, the sea does not have a brim to which it may be filled. Now, if you consider the symbol of water as having to do with emotion does this verse mean that there are many emotions, just none that are fulfilling?</span></span><br />

There are many emotions that make up everything that it is to be a human being. If there are no adequate emotions to be fulfilling does that mean that being a human is an empty experience?</span></span></span><br />

If many emotions fill a sea of emptiness didn't God/the Lord know that this would happen to humans? Why didn't He change this to make the human experience more meaningful?</span></span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: #990000; color: orange; font-family: Trebuchet, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; text-align: justify;"> 1. Okay, if there is nothing new under the sun then why are the followers of the Bible constantly looking for new signs and things they have never seen before but have supposedly been told will happen sooner or later?</span><br />

If God/the Lord has a track record for losing His temper, revoking promises, murdering people en mass, and pretty much fucking things up for everyone and everything on the entire planet won't He simply do it again since there is nothing new under the sun and what has been done before will be done again?</span></span><br />

If man is doomed because whatever he does he does for himself, wouldn't the Lord/God also be doomed since everything He does and everything He MAKES man do is for Himself, for the glory of God/the Lord?</span></span><br />

<span style="color: cyan;">Here is the second and final posting for the questions for the Book of Proverbs.

<span style="background-color: #990000; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; text-align: justify;"> 1. Sooo, the person who marries an imprudent wife has been more or less screwed over by the Lord, right? I mean, if a prudent wife is from the Lord why wouldn't the Lord give such a wife to, say, a really good guy (or gal)?

<span style="background-color: #990000; color: lime;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: #990000; color: lime;"> We are finally able to move on from the Book of Psalms to the Book of Proverbs. The Book of Proverbs is loaded with verses repeated over and over, or simply reworded five different ways...but still the same verses. One of the things I found interesting in Proverbs was the number of times that avoiding the evil wiles of women is discussed. Does the Almighty have a problem with women? Pick up and read the Book of Proverbs and you just might think He does. Sure, a mere mortal man wrote the book, but isn't it supposed to be God-inspired?</span></div>

It is not that they are stupid, no. A stupid person knows better but chooses differently, right? A stupid person can learn prudence, but can a simple person learn prudence when they don't even have the mental capacity to know much of anything to begin with?</span><br />

<span style="background-color: #990000; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"> 1. Are these verses really examples of the wisdom of Solomon? Where there are no oxen the manger is empty? No shit, Sherlock.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: #990000; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"> 2. An honest witness does not deceive? Really? Isn't that like saying a glass with water in it is not empty? Seriously.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: #990000; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"> 1. Well, since God/the Lord IS supposed to be Omni-Present I suppose it could be said that His eyes are everywhere. BUT, is that what this verse means?</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #990000; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #990000; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"> 2. Does this verse mean that the Lord has eyes everywhere because he has his little angel slaves slinking around keeping tabs on everybody?</span></div>

<span style="background-color: #990000; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"> 1. This is not fucking wisdom. Just because a fool is thought to be wise and discerning because he has kept his trap shut does not make him wise or discerning, right? Even a sleeping dog left to continue sleeping is STILL a sleeping dog and nothing else, correct?</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: #990000; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; text-align: justify;"> 1. Pursue and terrify and bring to shame so that the enemy will seek the name of the Lord? Why? Is that how the Lord/God really wants people to seek Him out?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: #990000; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; text-align: justify;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #990000; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; text-align: justify;"> 2. Where is the truth of spiritual freedom if someone is seeking the Lord/God out of shame and terror?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: #990000; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; text-align: justify;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: #990000; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; text-align: justify;"> 3. Is seeking the Lord/God out of shame and terror truly seeking out God/the Lord from personal choice, or is it more of an arm-twisting technique employed by the Great Divine to push man towards choosing what God/the Lord wants for man?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: #990000; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; text-align: justify;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: #990000; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; text-align: justify;"> 4. If God/the Lord loves everyone and wants everyone to come to Him and His mighty love, why in the hell would someone make a prayer or song to God/the Lord where they ask the Lord that those against them perish in disgrace?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: #990000; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; text-align: justify;"><br /></span></div>

If God/the Lord is so freaking good to begin with and so ever-present and so obvious then why don't people automatically gravitate to Him? Wouldn't the ultimate mighty-ness of the power and love of God/the Lord supersede any kind of negative thinking of man that would stand in the way of man seeking out the ultimate in truth and love?</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: #990000; color: white; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"><br /></span></span></span></div>

If God/the Lord is all-powerful how is it that ANYTHING could blind a man in any way and keep him from seeking out God? Why would man even need to seek out God/the Lord in the first place if God/the Lord is already everywhere and thus by nature everywhere where man is?</span></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #990000; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; text-align: justify;">Questions</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: #990000; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; text-align: justify;"> 1. Okay, I have a problem with this verse, right? Show us your unfailing love? Do you see the problem here? If God's love is unfailing and if God is the ultimate in power in the universe then the unfailing love of God/the Lord would be apparent to man, correct? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: #990000; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; text-align: justify;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #990000; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; text-align: justify;"> 2. There would not be the need to show man anything in regards to the Lord/God if the power of God/the Lord is above all and everything, right? Would not all and everything include the mind and the thinking and the actions of mere men? If such is the case, it does not matter what is in the heart of man or the mind of man since man cannot be greater than God/the Lord, right? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: #990000; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; text-align: justify;"><br /></span></div>

<b> Keep in mind that when it comes to things of a spiritual nature/religious nature it is of the utmost importance to question whatever it is you have decided to believe in, or what you might be considering believing in. Do not make the mistake of treating your belief as something cheap and useless. Take care of your belief and be very discriminating in choosing what you decide to believe in.</b></div>

And people say that the Lord wants nothing from those who believe in Him. Right. What the Lord wants is the attention, the devotion...the DELIGHT of people. In fact, He wants it so badly He is willing to make gargantuan promises, isn't He? He will even promise to give you the desires of your heart, right? Not that far off from promising 72 virgins, right?</span></div>

<span style="color: orange;">We are continuing with the questions I have for verses in the Bible. Again, and yes I have stated this many times before, if you cannot handle the idea that the Bible SHOULD be scrutinized and questioned DO NOT read these postings. If you cannot handle profanity-laced questions (such as mine are) DO NOT read any further. </span><br />
<span style="color: orange;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: orange;"> In addition, if you think you have an answer to any one of these questions please give your answer in the comments section. If your answer is comprised of another Bible verse be sure to leave the passage location so that I may find it.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Twisted Poetr</b>y</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
I like the Book of Psalms for its poetic value, but if this book is the example of what this Jehovah fellow is, if this book is the truth about His personality and judgment and propensities as a divine being...well...the folks who hold this God as <i>THE </i>God have a hell of a lot more to worry about than whether or not people believe the same as they do or if they can be converted to the faith before they die.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>1. Psalm 5:6</b><br />
<b>6 </b><span style="background-color: #990000; font-family: Trebuchet, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: white;">You will destroy those who speak lies. Yahweh abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man.</span></span><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Questions</b><br />
<b>1. Sooo...if Yahweh abhors the bloodthirsty and the deceitful wouldn't He then abhor Himself? </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>2. Does this not apply to God because He is God and not man?</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>3. If this <i>does not</i> apply to God because He is God and NOT man what does this say about man being created in the image of God?</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b><br /></b>
<b>2. Psalm 5:8</b><br />
<b>8 </b><span style="background-color: #990000; font-family: Trebuchet, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: white;">Lead me, Yahweh, in your righteousness because of my enemies. Make your way straight before my face.</span></span><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Questions</b><br />
<b>1. Okay, you're going to believe Yahweh in hopes that He will save you from your enemies? Do you <i>really</i> think that God will make the way straight for you after what He did to the Children of Israel in the desert for FORTY damn years?</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b><br /></b>
<b>3. Psalm 6:5</b><br />
<b>5 </b><span style="background-color: #990000; font-family: Trebuchet, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: white;">For in death there is no memory of you. In Sheol, who shall give you thanks?</span></span><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Questions</b><br />
<b>1. Sooo...<i>where</i> are these people going when they die if there is no remembrance of them? How do you go anywhere if you do not exist?</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>2. If God is real then wouldn't He be the one you give thanks to in Sheol since He is <i>everywhere</i>?</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b><br /></b>
<b>4. Psalm 7:6</b><br />
<b>6 </b><span style="background-color: #990000; font-family: Trebuchet, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: white;">Arise, Yahweh, in your anger. Lift up yourself against the rage of my adversaries. Awake for me. You have commanded judgment.</span></span><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Questions</b><br />
<b>1. Why in the blue fuck do you call forth anger instead of love?</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b><br /></b>
<b>5. Psalm 7:14</b><br />
<b>14 </b><span style="background-color: #990000; font-family: Trebuchet, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: white;">Behold, he travails with iniquity. Yes, he has conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.</span></span><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Questions</b><br />
<b>1. Does not the evil God also do the same, hummm?</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>2. Didn't God place enmity within man? Didn't God harden Pharaoh's heart against Pharaoh's own will? Didn't God work Job over just to win a bet with Satan? Are these things not mischievous and brought forth in falsehood?</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b><br /></b>
<b>6. Psalm 8:2</b><br />
<b>2 </b><span style="background-color: #990000; font-family: Trebuchet, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: white;">From the lips of babes and infants you have established strength, because of your adversaries, that you might silence the enemy and the avenger.</span></span><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Questions</b><br />
<b>1. Is this because babies and infants do not know any better and possess no understanding of Who God really is and the crap He does, neither do they possess the strength of will to speak against this asylum-bound deity?</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b><br /></b>
<b>7. Psalm 8:4-5</b><br />
<b>4 </b><span style="background-color: #990000; font-family: Trebuchet, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: white;">what is man, that you think of him? What is the son of man, that you care for him?</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #fdfeff; color: #001320; font-family: Trebuchet, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; text-align: justify;"><br /></span>
<b>5 </b><span style="background-color: #990000; font-family: Trebuchet, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: white;">For you have made him a little lower than God, and crowned him with glory and honor.</span></span><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Questions</b><br />
<b>1. God doesn't really care for man, does He? Hasn't God done things that have led man to be hanged, stabbed, beheaded, burned alive, flayed, and all sorts of other unpleasant ways to die?</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>2. If God even cared one shred for man wouldn't it really be because God seeks out ways to glorify Himself, and if He can use man to do it He will? Sooo...wouldn't it be glorification that God cares so much for and thinks so much about and not man?</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b><br /></b>
<b>8. Psalm 8:9</b><br />
<b>9 </b><span style="background-color: #990000; font-family: Trebuchet, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: white;">Yahweh, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! For the Chief Musician. Set to "The Death of the Son." A Psalm by David.</span></span><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Questions</b><br />
<b>1. How majestic and excellent can the name of One Who does so much harm be?</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b><br /></b>
<b>9. Psalm 9:8</b><br />
<b>8 </b><span style="background-color: #990000; font-family: Trebuchet, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: white;">He will judge the world in righteousness. He will administer judgment to the peoples in uprightness.</span></span><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Questions</b><br />
<b>1. Righteousness? Is <i>that </i>what you call the flood, the decimation of the Egyptians, and the total destruction of Job's life...<i>righteousness?</i></b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b><br /></b>
<b>10. Psalm 9:17</b><br />
<b>17 </b><span style="background-color: #990000; font-family: Trebuchet, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: white;">The wicked shall be turned back to Sheol, even all the nations that forget God.</span></span><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Questions</b><br />
<b>1. Who in the world wants to remember this disgustingly arrogant and violent God?</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>2. Sooo...the nations who forget God are the wicked who shall be sent to Sheol? Sooo...basically you are saying that either you believe in God or go to hell? </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>3. Whatever happened to winning people over with the love of God? Was that message of love ever really there in the first place?</b><br />

<span style="color: orange;"><b>If you thought the temperament of the Divine was going to improve with a more poetic approach you were sadly mistaken.

<span style="color: orange;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: orange;"><b>Questions</b></span><br />
<span style="color: orange;"><b>1. Have you read some of Jehovah's laws? Do you find them delightful? Do you really think you should meditate on these laws day and night? How about the law that says to stone your kids if they sass you? Or, better yet, how about the law where a rapist can marry his victim? Isn't that delightful?</b></span><br />

<span style="color: orange;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: orange;"><b>Questions</b></span><br />
<span style="color: orange;"><b>1. Sooo...how can God know the way of the righteous when He consistently punishes people for things they did not do?</b></span><br />
<span style="color: orange;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: orange;"><b>2. But...isn't following God strikingly, suspiciously similar sounding to the way of the wicked since fuck-loads of people drop like flies anytime anyone listens to any of the hair-brained ideas Senor Yahweh stews up?</b></span><br />

<span style="color: orange;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: orange;"><b>2. You can't say the kings take a stand against the Lord ALWAYS of their own accord, right? Doesn't it say in Exodus that it was God/the Lord who hardened Pharaoh's heart against what the Lord wanted? Does that even sound anywhere near ethical?</b></span><br />
<span style="color: orange;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: orange;"><b>3. And <i>WHY</i> does God laugh, hummm? Is it because of all the shitty things He gets people to do to each other? What kind of loving father laughs at fighting children?</b></span><br />

<span style="color: blue;"><b>This is the final posting for the questions for the Book of Job in the Old Testament of the Holy Bible. Next, of course, will be the questions for the Book of Psalms. Hopefully you have taken the time to go back to the beginning, to Genesis, to read and consider all of these questions from the very beginning. I hope you will also post answers, and if you do I appreciate your response.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: blue;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: blue;"><b>1. Job 19:25</b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><b>25 </b></span><span style="background-color: #990000; font-family: Trebuchet, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: white;">But as for me, I know that my Redeemer lives. In the end, he will stand upon the earth.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: blue;"><b>Questions</b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><b>1. Of course Job will say this. Why? Is it because as fucked up as Job's life has become God can fuck it up even MORE, in ways that Job knows he could never imagine nor comprehend?</b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: blue;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: blue;"><b>2. Job 21:7</b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><b>7 </b></span><span style="background-color: #990000; font-family: Trebuchet, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: white;">"Why do the wicked live, become old, yes, and grow mighty in power?</span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: blue;"><b>Questions</b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><b>1. Well, isn't part of the problem the fact that the wicked are often defined as those who do not believe in God? Aren't there plenty of good people who do not believe in God? Conversely, aren't there plenty of BAD people who believe in God?</b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: blue;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: blue;"><b>3. Job 28:12</b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><b>12 </b></span><span style="background-color: #990000; font-family: Trebuchet, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: white;">"But where shall wisdom be found? Where is the place of understanding?</span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: blue;"><b>Questions</b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><b>1. But...wisdom isn't straight knowledge, is it? Doesn't wisdom include knowledge combined with courage, compassion, consideration, comfort, and care? Does God know this? <i>Shouldn't</i> God know this?</b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: blue;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: blue;"><b>4. Job 28:28</b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><b>28 </b></span><span style="background-color: #990000; font-family: Trebuchet, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: white;">To man he said, 'Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom. To depart from evil is understanding.'"</span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: blue;"><b>Questions</b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><b>1. If understanding is true wisdom doesn't that then make fear fairly useless?</b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: blue;"><b>2. How is departing from evil true understanding when there are plenty of folks who understand much...yet still choose evil?</b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: blue;"><b>3. If fearing the Lord is true wisdom...uhmmm...isn't the Lord/God then using a loathsome tool (fear) to gain glory, a following, devotion, and all of that divine poppycock?</b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: blue;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: blue;"><b>5. Job 37:23-24</b></span><br />

He is exalted in power. In justice and great righteousness, he will not oppress.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: blue;"><b>24 </b></span><span style="background-color: #990000; font-family: Trebuchet, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: white;">Therefore men revere him. He doesn't regard any who are wise of heart."</span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: blue;"><b>Questions</b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><b>1. This makes no sense, does it? If God is SO excellent with His might and power (which can be seen everywhere) then people CAN find Him out, correct?</b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: blue;"><b>2. Where is God's justice and righteousness? Where was it for the Children of Israel as they meandered for forty fucking years in a goddamn desert? How about for the people who died on that most horrific September 11th? The people who did those terrible deeds that day worship the same damn God (and consequently thought that this God was showing justice and righteousness)...SO...where is the justice and righteousness?</b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: blue;"><b>3. If men revere ANYONE who has no regard for those who are wise of heart would they be doing so because they fear for their lives?</b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: blue;"><b>4. Would anyone in their right mind revere another who shows no regard for the wise of heart?</b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: blue;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: blue;"><b>6. Job 38:4-6</b></span><br />

Or who laid its cornerstone,</span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: blue;"><b>Questions</b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><b>1. Isn't this one of the most favored set of verses quoted by believers? Do you know how everything came to be? Do you understand the whys of everything? No? Then how can you say there is no God?</b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: blue;"><b>2. Sooo...does the lack of understanding as to the hows and whys of anything in nature/the universe/ourselves prove this maniacal God that believers swear is real?</b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: blue;"><b>3. Does man's lack of ability to do anything prove God or the supposed truth of the Bible?</b></span><br />

For you have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job has."</span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: blue;"><b>Questions</b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><b>1. Sooo...God is basically saying that these guys made Him angry and so they all need to go and kill something? What the <i>fuck</i>?</b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><b><br /></b></span>

They comforted him, and consoled him concerning all the evil that Yahweh had brought on him. Everyone also gave him a piece of money, and everyone a ring of gold.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: blue;"><b>Questions</b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><b>1. Sooo...is God <i>bribing</i> Job with all of these things? Are all of these new things supposed to make the taking of all of his previous belongings/family okay and excusable?</b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: blue;"><b>2. Does this make the deaths of Job's previous children easier to bear? Does it or is it supposed to wash God's hands of guilt?</b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: blue;"><b>3. Sooo...what about everyone who got fucked over in this little experiment to test Job's faith and trust in God? What do <i>they</i> get?</b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: blue;"><b>4. God being all-powerful and all-knowing, He didn't have to prove Job's devotion/allegiance in this manner, did He?</b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: blue;"><b>5. Does God use this story of Job in the Old Testament to build the bad reputation of Satan?</b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: blue;"><b>6. This ALL falls on God, doesn't it? Isn't HE the one Who is supposed to be in ultimate, total control of EVERYTHING?</b></span><br />

<b>Questions</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>1. This says a lot about God, doesn't it? A God Who creates with the specific intent to destroy? Now...<i>why</i> would an all-powerful being do that? To play games with the helpless? To bring Himself glory through the forced worship of those He creates? For WHAT?</b></div>

<span style="color: orange;"><b>Poor Job. Poor <i>poor </i>Job. This guy was the little soccer ball of misery that the LORD/God kicked around in a little soccer match with Satan as the LORD/God tried to prove to Satan just how loyal and special Job was. Did the angels/heavenly host shout <i>"GOOOAAAALLLLLL!" </i>each time Job was slammed with some new tidbit of living horror? Who knows? The fact remains, though, that there is a whole lot more than some poor devotee of God/the LORD getting pummeled for no damn good reason in the Book of Job. The author/authors tries/try very hard to use the completely insane story of Job to validate much of the LORD/God's terrible behavior as well as try to validate many of the unjust and nonsense punishments heaped upon mankind.</b></span></div>

Here, much like Eve supposedly did unto Adam, Job's wife offers <i>terrible </i>advice. A woman told Adam to eat the bad fruit, a woman wrangled the secret of his strength from Sampson, a woman contributed to the fall of the doomed Ahab and here a woman is noted as having told her husband to curse God. What do these things tell you about God's opinion of women?</span></b></span></div>

I mean, Jesus has Mary, but God apparently didn't have a mother. Is this why He has such an obvious problem with women? He didn't have a mommy to love Him?</span></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
