Ok. While I do boast that my beliefs are Wicca, Native and some Christianity and like most raised around that third belief, read their stories. From Genesis to Revelation. However, unlike some people who often look at these chapters and trust in blind faith in them. I often thought there was some kind of message that was overlooked. However it seemed like I was not the only one:

This was from a youtube Channel that analyzes well known bible stories. With this one being The Book of Job. Even non-Christians know the story. The short end of it, God makes a bet with the Devil to Test Job's faith in him. By allowing Satan to take away everything the man had from his home, to his entire family, to even his health. While he did confront God, God did eventually give him his health and family back.

Now when I first heard the story, I was 100% on Job's side. Even with my faith I always wondered why God or whatever is out there would allow guys like him to suffer, but while the wicked reign supreme one way or another. From corrupt Roman senates, to the Bullshit Circus we see on our respective governments. Pitting us against each other using arguments so ancient at this point that I'm literally willing to come up with a new prejudice slur so that people can put aside the -isms and -phobes of old and focus on something new. To show I'm serious, ChromoPollutant (Dirty DNA. The Sci-fi equivalent to a Mudblood.) . You guys already got Race, Sex, Orientation and Religion covered, why not start harping on one's DNA while you're at it.

However, once I gotten a thorough look at the story with this Youtuber's help, I realized that Job, the poster child for God picking on people, is one of the biggest self-righteous assholes in the history of the bible.

A lot of it explains in contrast to the rest of the bible, that simply doing God's work, especially if you think it does, does not earn you favour into Heaven and that to truly go there, one has to walk with and talk to God rather than walk about and talk about him to others. And while Job did have faith in God that was unshaken until he was at his breaking point, his faith was limited to his wants and needs. That moralism crap does not fly with me. I don't do good deeds, because I think it will buy me into Heaven or get the things I want and need. I do it, because it's the right thing to do and that anyone that tells you, helping people that need it is a waste of time, they deserve to go to Hell.

The only reason why Job got this crap thrown at him, was because God caught onto what he was doing and used the Devil bet to punish him. And judging by the way he treated others even when he praised God, it was well deserving. His wife and son were dying begging him to fail the bet so that they could all at least die a painless death and he sneered at them saying that great evil comes with the territory of great good. So needless to say, regardless of how my life is going, I'm never gonna compare myself to that asshole again. I don't rely on faith for selfish needs. I often prayed for others more than I pray for myself. I often sacrificed little to a lot of things, if it meant helping someone I deem more important to the world to get ahead in life. Job however did everything he thought would buy his way into Heaven and when he finally decided to talk to God instead of talking about God, that's when he got his stuff back.

What surfaced as a lesson on faith, really was a "Don't bite the hand that feeds you." Moral the whole time. I'm pretty sure if one looked at the other stories, they'd actually be a lot different than what was initially interpreted. For all I know the Binding of Isaac may have just been interpreted better in Year One than the actual bible:

Stories like this often have their own interpretations, but sometimes one can't abide by the surface words alone. Some people find either deeper meanings or the real Aesop the author was trying to convey.

In my case, I believe there is more to one side in every religious story. I stand up for Adam and Eve, just as much as I stand up for God's accomplishments. I respect Jesus, but sometimes his dad is an asshole to me. Noah was a drunk and his main focus was trying to save his family and as many animals as he could fit on that big ass boat. I get that God was testing to see how far Abraham would go to obey his words, but at the same time I feel bad for that kid. Even if he believes like his father did, he may not want to after that shit. Poor Isaac. David wanted to make the country a safer place. Abel should have known his brother would hate him so much that he'd kill him. I been through that crap myself. But they pale in comparison to Job. They based their stuff on faith that God would help them make this through alive and on land one day. It happened and they were praised since. Job on the other hand was doing what is known as moralistic lip service. Only saying and visually abiding by the rules. People fail to realize whether God exists or not, within the boundaries of this story, he is all seeing and all knowing. He knows what Job thinks and depending on the thought, he'll either cut him a break or show him who's boss.

In my case, I practically lost everything and it took me 12 years to put myself back together. One way or another, you seen how painful and how sometimes worth the process can be. It wasn't easy for me to draw the line between where I did right or wrong but I was able to sort that shit out. I know I'm a good person at heart, because I don't like to succumb to even the tiniest of evils. It's not something I do to buy my way to a paradise after death, it's something I try to learn to do better because I want to keep doing right better. But it does get easier once I know which problems I can and can't solve with and without faith. Faith in my abilities and faith that whatever's out there at least has my back long enough to succeed in my goals both selfish and selflessly. I have wants and needs of my own. My main goal is to find a quiet, cheap place to live, where I can socialize with a community, yet keep to myself. However there are a lot of other things I want to try. Like Skydiving or attending an ESport event. Things I wanted to do, but couldn't afford or have the time to do.

I'm sure you all had moments where you thought you had one over God or whatever you worshipped. Me was mainly just arguing with him based on the crap that has to happen for the greater good. I'd much rather the end of the world end on a high note, rather than the depressed state it's in.

However as long as we have music in our hearts, we'll always be immortalized for the days to come. These messages one way or another, are a code to history, but what they inspire, creates history.

Take care, stay safe, stay tuned for more and For the love of God, Stay in fucking school. It's the only way to a happier peaceful life.
