The Book of Job is fictional.
It is your interpretation that Blake's non-mainstream but traditional interpretation is "sanitized." You have great confidence in your own interpretation. I think it's better for us to learn the interpretations of the wise thinkers of the past.
You seem to think that the interpretations you dislike are the "real" meanings, while the interpretations of great Christians like Blake are somehow false.
I think you should be more humble.
