Job The Heretic

The Book of Job is the most heretical of the brood. It flies in the face of books of its breed that state that good comes to the good and evil to the evil.

Job suffers greatly and his peers attribute it to his sins. He denies their interpretations. When he gets his hearing with the deity in the whirlwind, he learns that human ideas about good and evil are silly, particularly that the good prosper and the evil don't. Very often the evil prosper and the good don't, as we all know.

Prosperity is the great delusion, of course, the masculine delusion. The mother's love is unconditional, not so much the father's love.
