that was written at a time when, not unlike certain faith-healing / NameItAndClaimIt circles now believe, that if you're uncomfortable, it's because God hates you.

Your problem, your fault, they would say.

I personally have always been more fascinated by verse 23; "Oh, that my words were written in a book!" we read.

Um. Job? I'm reading your words. In a book. I'm sorry your life has been ripped apart and I can't do jack to help you, but breathe easy because they're gonna write a book about this whole deal.
