Shit's all sorts of different now.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
That's all well and good, but it's the jerking around that kind of gets up my nose. In a civil lawsuit, it would be called "pain and suffering," and worth at least an extra million.
(I don't like practical jokes among the mortal, much, so immortals pulling my leg -- let's just say they better not.)

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
but iirc, part of the story is that Job is the most faithful guy EVAH. His being picked is something of a compliment.
I get that. But it loses me when we get to the dead kids part. (Especially given an OT context where we don't necessarily assume they're in heaven.) They seem to be irrelevant as individuals, or as humans in their own right. Their only function is as something important to Job that's taken away. Letting kids die to prove a point about their father's loyalty? I have trouble with the concept of an allegedly good deity who'd do that.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Yeah, the Abraham story, I always thought, was a way for people to learn that no just God needs the sacrifice of your children as proof of faith. Still makes God look like a total bastard. Though, wasn't that the first time in human history that someone got Punk'd?

I would really, REALLY like to see Ashton Kutcher attempt to punk a deity. Greater awesomeness could not be achieved without resorting to the violent death of Jamie Kennedy!
