I wasn't talking about you.
Not everything is about you ya know.
I think you're the one living in a simplistic world if you think everyone is always talking about you all the time.

That's also one of the most F*cked up stories in the bible. God tortures Job and his family because of a bet between Satan and Himself over whether Job will lose faith.
After killing off his family he just replaces them with a new one. A different wife and kids without any concern of whether or not Job may have loved his first family and wanted to keep them.
His answer to Job for why he did it was also basically, "Because I'm God, How dare you question me."
God is a total dick in that story who has zero concern for anyone else but himself and his bet with Satan. He uses Job as a pawn and apparently Job's family doesn't matter at all.

I think God was showing everyone how freaking crazy the progressives are. Plus the Senate and the House were exempt from Obamacare, unlike everyone else.

God didn't torture Job. He allowed Satan to.
However, Satan basically has control over a the earth or else he would not have been able to promise Jesus all the kingdoms in it when he tempted Him in the NT. Satan couldn't offer what wasn't his to give.

Interesting that you bring this up. I started a thread earlier in the year describing how God is ultimately responsible for all that happens...both good and bad.

Why wouldn't God just cure all, why send a political message?
Really??? Are you saying that McCain was given brain cancer by progressives??? I guess you'll try and use anything at all to place blame on people you don't like regardless of how ridiculous it may sound. Perhaps it's not the progressives that are the problem.
