[quote=Anonymous]I totally get where you’re coming from OP. I grew up in an evangelical church and we were encouraged to take this story literally. I hated the idea of god and Satan turning random people’s lives into games or wagers. And the idea that his family were just supporting characters and replaceable never felt right. But whenever I asked questions I was spoken to the way people here are talking to you. No one can really answer the question without making god seem at least somewhat uncaring, so it got turned around on me and why was I questioning the Bible so much. At best, the people I’d discuss it with would exempt the story from the literal section of the Bible and tell me it’s a lesson and not a history. Lots of deflection when there weren’t great answers. I never saw it as a happy story nor job as an aspirational character. The whole thing just made me sad. [/quote]
