I should provide the evidence for you to show me? If only the world worked like that, I could finally convince people of the little girl who lives in my fire place.

Drich chooses to embrace evil and call it good, to hold up arbitrary cruelty and call it justice, to take jealousy and spite and call that ultimate righteousness. He'll say that genocide is not a bad thing if it is what God wants. Is that what you will also do?Your hostility to the Word clearly shows. With your heart hardened against it, you will see only the surface letter of the Word. Because the inner spiritual significance of the Word remains closed to you, you blaspheme against it. The Word opens up when approached with humility and receptivity to the Spirit of Truth. It could do that for you if you let it.
If one is supposed to take genocide, child sacrifice, rape, pillaging, the annihilation of people's lives to prove a point, and any number of other horrific atrocities, as a form of metaphor, then the person who thought it up needs some therapy.
What in the world you could make out of what happened to Job other than the "surface word", which is that god giveth and god taketh away unless you bow and scrape like a beaten dog at his feet, I have not the least idea in the world.
If you believe it, question it. If you question it, get an answer. If you have an answer, does that answer satisfy reality? Does it satisfy you? Probably not. For no one else will agree with you, not really.
