Sacrilegious Discourse - Bible Study for Atheists

Bildad Denies That Man Can Be Justified with God.

This is the shortest chapter of the Bible thus far. It's a tiny TED Talk on how we're all maggots and worms. In six sentences, Job's friend insults the entire human race for the crime of being born to woman. Ugh, gross.

Job Complains of God's Indifference to Wickedness.

But actually that headline is incorrect, because that's not what happened. Job did complain about wicked people, but it didn't seem like he was complaining about God's indifference so much as that he was saying God punishes the wicked at their death. Which, like, makes no sense because EVERYBODY DIES. Okay, so maybe the headline got it right and we entirely misunderstood the point of this chapter... definitely something to discuss in our next episode!

Job Desires to Plead His Case before God.

Job is shaking in his boots yet firm in his stance. He knows who he is, and evil ain't part of the package. To clarify, Job wants to tell God (the guy who knows everything) about everything he doesn't know. We are loving this show of confidence!

Stages of Grief:

Denial

Anger

Bargaining

Eliphaz Accuses Job of Great Wickedness.

Wife has a lot of commentary and singing in this one, so buckle up cuz it's a RIDE. It's just as well, since this chapter is more of the same nonsense where Job's friends are absolutely positive that Job is a fart face. They tell Job that all he has to do is bend the knee, kiss the ring, and admit he's an evil sumbitch, after which God will surely stop poking him with a stick. We remain unconvinced. Why? Because god is a dick! This newsflash always bears repeating.

Job Asserts the Prosperity of the Wicked.

Job is like, "Why are y'all in _MY_ face when you know for an actual fact that evil guy over there did some seriously dastardly deeds?" Someone needs to slip God a sticky note to update him on all the places he let Karma skip a beat. And yo — can we get these nepo babies under control? Once again, Job is asking solid questions. Not only "Why do bad things happen to good purple?" but also "Why do bad people get all the dang blessings?"

Zophar Depicts the Portion of the Wicked.

If my friends kept telling me I got what I deserved, when I knew I was innocent, I would not waste any more time defending myself. I would tell those sumbitches to get tf off my porch. I would spit gum in their hair. I would subscribe them to every spam email campaign ever. I would give out their cell phone numbers to political fundraisers. I would fart on their toothbrushes. I would put holes in their socks. And then I would have a tall glass of wine because I earned it.
