Job was a play, addressing the same question Harold Kushner addressed in 1981 (When Bad Things Happen to Good People). Job was written about 7 BCE.Justify the torture of Job.
THAT is YOUR god. THAT torture is your belief.
I choose to believe differently.
There is disagreement whether Job was a single person, or whether the Character, Job, faced tragedies every day people faced in that day and age. The play addressed the age-old question of Why do bad things happen to good people? Can faith play a part when we go through bad times.
Question: Are you one of the minority who believe every word in the Bible should be taken literally?

Today, only thirty percent say the Bible should be taken literally.
