God, Caves and Cages

 So, Job, right?

The richest man in the Orient. The Bible describes him as the most faithful and righteous, “blameless and upright.” He thought he and God were boys. Satan tells God that Job is only faithful to Him because he’s been blessed, but if these things were taken away he’d curse God to his very face.

God says, "You're on!"

Satan proceeds to kill Job’s 10 children, he loses everything he owns, his servants and some other crazy shit. Then on the brink of losing his mind, God tells him “nah, we’re cool,” restores Job’s health, doubles his original wealth, gives him a wife with a better ass and he “was blessed” with 10 more children.

“I was kinda attached to those kids, God. Losing them... that sucks, man. But thanks for these 10 others. I guess we'll make do.”

God to Satan: I can shoot someone on Fifth Avenue and not lose any supporters. 

Where were you when kids were in cages?

The story of Lot always got to me. I must've been seven or eight years old the first time I heard it, and my question’s the same:

Why would Lot, to shield some total strangers, throw his virgin daughters out to be raped by a raving “homosexual mob”? To show the men the best damn hospitality Sodom and Gomorrah had to offer? Protect men who show up claiming to be angels in human forms? And just how could they prove that? And if they were truly a "homosexual mob" would virgin girls had so easily appeased them? Well, it was Sodom and Gomorrah after all. And what exactly was Gomorrah?

Why would Lot do that?

You know what the difference between a child in a cage verses a child in a cave is?

One is being held by Pure Unadulterated Evil. 

And the kids in the cave are free.
