ATlian,

I think you have developed a very negative attitude towards christianity. It will be difficult for you to appreciate the christian point of view if you do not keep an open mind.

First, while death to you is a very serious matter, to God it is merely sleep. When a righteous person dies he goes to God. So when humans are so incensed and cry the why has god allowed so and so to die, he merely chuckles as he welcomes the person above.

Secondly one cannot second guess the motives of God. God knew this story would be part of his Word. he was using Job for a bigger reason. So that you and I can benefit from this story of faith and long suffering. So that generations to come would be encouraged..
