Book pseudo-philosophical

The book of job is indeed a difficult book (particularly because it is incorporate like a poem, which i think made it all the more boring. ) But going beyond that, it has some interesting pseudo-philosophical discussions going on. Job is a brave man, given the circumstances and the general assumptions about the nature of the universe at the time (a universe where god occasionally makes his presence known through with(predicate) a whirlwind or some such device).Job is good and brave, but I think there is an inherent assumptions in his arguments that make them fail (in my book) the assumption of the cogency of the rationale behind the rules under which God seems to operate. Since Sin is also, ultimately, Gods invention, I think an appropriate response to such a condition as Jobs would have been wherefore are You playing around with us? When Job finally acknowledges Gods justice, Job gets his good life back (Someone was just being childish and just cute some appreciation, after all . )I dont believe that there is a direct correlation between good actions and divinely bestowed awards. A eccentric of work and a bit of luck are what it takes to get a good life. As for Genesis chapters 1-11, I cannot take these as an authentic record of historical events. While reading, I kept getting a feeling, in the back of my mind, that there is something inherently wrong in the rationale and explanations of the behaviors of the characters (God included). The story presented in Genesis has the makings of a myth, and is in the same level as that of other creationist stories of other beliefs.As Darwin says, the concept of God is quite beyond the scope of my abilities. Genesis 1-11 is an explanation of the origins of the world, which I believe mustiness be a lot more complex than the chapters relate (at least on the surface). It also explains the origins good and evil in modern mankind. Boring also. originally because the story has been recounted countless times, and, regarda bly, the sentences are structured as dissimilarly as possible from everyday speech, while still retaining grammatical correctness. But it is still nice to understand ancient (and modern) cultural and religious mentality.
