Greg Lukianoff

Job is basically – it starts out as this perverse bet between God and Satan about whether or not they can actually make a good man renounce God.

And initially, they can't.

It's all going very predictably.

And then they finally really torture Job, and he turns into the best –

why is God cruel?

How could God possibly exist?

How could a kind God do these things?

And he beats, he turns into like the best lawyer in the entire world and he defeats everyone.

All the people who come to argue with him, he argues the pants off of them.

And then suddenly at the end, God shows up and he's like,

well, you know, I am everywhere.

And it's a very confusing answer.

He gives an answer kind of like, I am there when lionesses give birth, and I am there.

And by the way, there's this giant monster Leviathan that's very big, and it's very scary, and I have to manage the universe.

And I'm kind of like, God, are you saying that you're very busy?

Is that...

Is that essentially your argument to Job?

And you don't mention the whole kind of like, I have a bet that's why I was torturing you.

That doesn't come up.

And then at the end, God decides, Job's like, oh, no, you're totally right.
