Job 1-17

All of the chapters on Job deal with the bet that God and Satan made over the honest man. Personally, it amazes me that God, the so-called noblest and wisest of all you play with the life of a human just to win a bet with the devil. It also amazes me that he would even talk to Satan, I always figured that they had no way of communicating with each other, that they did not keep in touch. But what surprises me the most is the fact that he decided to toy with the life of someone who was loyal and completely devoted to his God, someone who despite all of the hardships in his life had chosen to remain faithful to his beliefs. This should be the tyoe of persons he sould be protecting, not harming. It´s somehow like in the movie "Stranger Than Fiction", where the author Karen Eiffel chooses at the last minute to save her character, who also happened to be a real person, from a tragic death because she decided that a person who would sacrifice himself for her book is the kind of person you would want to save, not kill. I wish God was more like Karen Eiffel and less than, well, God.
