Goliath was killed by David using a rock. Do these people even read their own books? (lemmy.world)

he point is that even when you aren’t powerful yourself, your dedication to your Faith and standing up for what’s right should be enough to make up for your shortcomings, for the Lord will lift your burden.

Really? And here I thought it was just another awful story from an awful book that nobody bothers to read.

Please, tell me how the book of Job is all about being faithful to god, even during the worst times. And completely ignore the premise of the book, and the horrific things visited upon the man for simply being "god's most faithful servant". Oh wait, no that wasn't enough. God had to murder his family and destroy his life because he made a bet with the literal devil. What a cool guy.

Your book is garbage and you should feel bad.
