The book of Job is the most overated book of the bible. Athiest and midwit Christians are mysteriously attracted to it. The ending is fine but what I am annoyed by is the prevalent idea that it

"was a heckin paradigm shift bro, before Job people assumed that if bad things happened to you you were a bad person!"

The book doesn't disprove this at all, God frequently punishes people and cultures in the bible for their sins, and the reason given by the text is retarded if that's what the message is supposed to be? God made a bet with Satan but are the thousands of people suffering terrible misfortune in their lives supposed to assume that God has just been making thousands more bets or something?

Also the actual story is just boring and dragged out, Job has these huge monologues which is just him saying brooooooo i didn't do nuffin whyyy and his friends saying um you probably did though...

why do "words of christ in red" bibles upset sois and redditors so much? What are the pros and cons of such bibles?
