Is it just me, or is the real point of the Book of Job not so much that God is a jerk to Job in order to test his faith, but that Job calls him on it?

Yeah, I had to look it up at Wikipedia. Lol. Was momentarily distracted by his father's name being 'Uz'. I bet that guy had trouble finding novelty coffee mugs with his name on them.

Too bad – those mugs could have had all kinds of puns with the name (well, if they’d been in English) ; )

I was once in a museum gallery full of (mildly) erotic Greek pottery, and came to suspect it was no more than the ancient equivalent of a "World's Greatest Lover" coffee mug, since after looking at a few of them, the same mass-produced compositions and phrases kept cropping up. Some craftsman back in the past must have woken every morning thinking "ho hum, another day, another hundred-dozen vases to decorate with cute young guys being chased by amorous gods/goddesses."
