Eywa's Test

[txen]

One observation about the reference to Job.

Now I'm not much of a devout Christian, so maybe I didnt study this to the degree of some others. Anyway...

A critical piece of the story is freewill. The wager between Satan and God would have no meaning if man had no freewill. Even God does not know what choices we will make. In this case he had a good idea of the outcome, but it was still a test.

If you live long enough bad things will happen to you. However, I have never been tested to the level of what Job had to endure. Not even close. I think of it as an ideal to aspire to. Something to consider in a moment of weakness.
