Job

This book reminds me of a greek tale where the gods are playing games with the people of earth. God and the devil are just messing around with Job seeing just how loyal he is. I can see a Heaven's vegas man taking bids with 50:1 that Job crys like a little girl and spites God. What kind of god plays games with a man like that. I know this is the chapter that is supposed to give reason behind the suffering of people, but this betting on a mans life seems like a sin to me. Maybe Im not looking for the best meaning, but this just seems like a crule thing for the almighty to do.
