Yeah, what happens is that god likes to make points to the devil by using his people as meat puppets and his people are always happier in the end because it's a fictional story that's been re-translated many times and was originally written (though not actually written, more like passed around orally for maximum customization) to help control people who didn't understand their world.

In the story of Job god tells satan that he thinks he can take everything from Job and that Job will still worship him. He picks Job because Job has been particularly good to him, and prayed to him most fiercely. Satan says that that is totally stupid and that Job only worships god because god treats him well. Then, god and satan work together to kill Job's children, destroy his livelihood and his health, and essentially reduce him to a husk of a human being with nothing to live for. Eventually Job is like "Why am I even alive, God?" and god is like "Dude, you're alive because I say so now suck it up and deal."

And then Job gets new kids who are way better than the old ones.

I actually used to be pretty religious in sort of an odd way. I stopped believing in god when I developed logical thinking skills but I lived in a household where I had to pretend in order to be loved, so I've read the bible many times searching for meaning in my life. There's nothing to suck the hope out of you quite like the actual not-for-kids bible.

No, I just stopped believing in god around the same time I realized I'd have to pretend I believed in god if I wanted my own family to pretend to love me.

I must admit I smiled a bit about you skimming a bible story. It had amusing implications.

I suppose it would matter how you mean. But since I know I exist then I'd have to say no. As for logic explaining supernatural things, I do not think of god as a supernatural thing. The development of religion through history is extremely logical to me. I can see how and some of the why, and none of it requires even the smallest glimmer of anything supernatural.

"But since I know I exist then I'd have to say no."

Why so serious?

God is a story that got out of hand. It's a lot like Harry Potter that way.
