God sure didn't have a problem bending backwards for his accuser.
Job, that poor unfortunate fuck.

That guy - 2014-11-07 ....ok, but imagine it as a piece of Bronze Age religious literature including it's own criticism, and thereby being stronger. In that regard, it's amazing. (Lampshading itself maybe?)
Also, if you look at the other religions from that time and place, the gods are fairly grim, remote, inscrutable, etc.
In case anyone actually wants to nerd out on that:
The Gilgamesh Epic and Old Testament Parallels
by Alexander Heidel
It's about 250 pages and it's pretty interesting.

In the only Superbook clip I could find (which I have resubmitted at http://www.poetv.com/video.php?vid=40800 ) it's implied that Job knew about the bet. This version is more true to the Bible.

With the robot and kids and computer-rendered imagery, this feels like the buildup to a video game's final boss battle.

Woah! Superbook's been around since the early 80s, and was developed by Tatsunoko, whom I'm sure you're all familiar with.

infinite zest - 2014-11-06 Tatsunoko sold me drugs and said he'd hook me up with his sister. I was so high that I didn't know it was Tatsunoko.

oddeye - 2014-11-07 He that "Iron Man" fella? I don't think I know THAT Tatsunoko...
|
Rodents of Unusual Size - 2014-11-07 Oh the things Tatsunoko has done. My stars! I can't even count them all.
Tatsunoko is just about the end all for anything that I can think of. If it isn't Tatsunoko I just don't even think it's comparable to Tatsunoko. It's like Tatsunoko always says, "When you're in doubt, just Tatsunoko".

God is such a cunt. Throughout the whole book of Job, his entire thesis is "I am more powerful than you." And Job is like "Yes, you sure are." Then his friends bitch at him for about 40 pages before God appears and says "I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU. WHICH IS WHY I AM GOING TO PUNISH YOU FOR DEFENDING ME RHETORICALLY. JOB, YOU'VE DONE EXACTLY WHAT YOU SHOULD, BUT LET ME JUST FLOP OUT MY WANG HERE AND REMIND YOU HOW POWERFUL I AM."
"Yeah, I get it. You're powerful."
"I AM POWERFUL."
"Yep. Powerful indeed."
"THAT MEANS I'M RIGHT."
"Hey, no argument here."
"FUCK YOU. HAVE A MILLION DOLLARS AND THE CURE TO AIDS."
