I grew up being put in Sunday school for daycare and all the stories they told us sounded completely over the top ridiculous.

The story of Job made my fuckin blood boil as an 8 year old because I could immediately make the connection that god just took everything from this man to win a bet.

God, the all loving all knowing all powerful god. Tortured a man to prove a point.

And not just to prove a point in general but to prove a point to his literal arch nemesis.

Basically Satan tricked god into torturing this man and that was all the info I needed to know god is bullshit.
