This point actually comes into cumulation when we consider the uncountable (or 2,476,633, if you believe that statistic) number of people killed by God. Who knows how many more were killed in the Flood or in any other number of calamities. It is unreasonable, and unrealistic, to suggest that all of them were non-innocent. Indeed, many of them were probably children, who are innocent by any reasonable standard, including the Christian one. Such indiscriminate calamities as the Flood (as well as, arguably, His stupid killings) prove RoboBlue's point just as thoroughly as the particular example of Job that you seem to be nitpicking over.Ceilick wrote:God's actions not being 'primarily' motivated by their possible sins" seems to assume that the whole situation doesn't come together like clockwork; God's motivation could be comprehensive (motivated not just by Job by by Job and his whole family). The book doesn't say this, but again, the story is only about Job.
The fact is: there is just too much baggage attached to the Christian faith to just dismiss out of hand.
