No. We're not allowed to do any of that stuff. Job had to suffer, but he didn't get the shaft. Millions of christians have to suffer also. If most of the christians suffering because of their faith today would simply deny Christ and walk away from him, they would no longer be persecuted. Like Job, they are suffering simply because they are christians, but they've decided to serve God and they know what the future holds for them. Many probably consider it an honor to die for Christ. Nobody gets the shaft, but we all get our reward.
