For those of you having problems dealing with the recent tragedies of our lives, especially those who are blaming god, please remember the teachings of the book of Job. I'm not at all religious in a Christian/Catholic sense. I'm a Celt. My gods are completely different. But from a literary standpoint, Job makes a good point. In the Book of Job, Satan bets God that faith in Him will falter in the face of adversity. God puts His faith into Job, the most religious and sinless man of all creation. He turns Job's life over to Satan with but one guideline: Do not kill Job. After Job is thoroughly broken and tattered, on the edge of death, stricken with despair and peerless, he still hasn't renounced God. He finally does, by saying simply "please, take me and end this all." God comes to him and essentially says "Don't question me. I created everything, and I am the beginning and ending of your existence. when you deal with the hardships I face trying to keep you all alive, then you can complain." Job realises that everything - pain, suffering, disease, everything - is in His plan. Finally, Job is rewarded for keeping his faith through all of the hardship. It just goes to show for all the believers: God has a plan. Note that I am NOT trying to force views, because any accusation of that is stupid and blatantly pointless. I'M NOT CHRISTIAN. I'M NOT CATHOLIC. I'M NOT MONOTHEISTIC. I just thought that a text like the Book of Job was an interesting view of current events.
