re: #543 Obdicut

I think that your argument is pretty muddled, and can’t actually understand what you think the barrier is to me getting a message out of the Book of Job. I can understand Job as a human, I can understand his conception of God, I can understand the events in the context that’s given.

I’m reading Job to understand a man wrestling with his faith and his fate. I’m really uncertain what you think I can’t get out of it simply because I’m analyzing it as a piece of literature telling that story rather than a divinely inspired record of that story.

As I said - reading Moby Dick to learn about seafaring.
