But that book is the only thing that keeps them from going on murderous rampages. Coming to think of it, it's not even very good at stopping the murderous rampages.
The Crusades, the Inquisition, the war in the middle east - all Abrahamic-religiously motivated murderous activities.

How about Numbers 31:17-18 where Moses says:

What’s the book of Job then? A you tube prank channel run by man-babies?
Arrested Development
A narcissistic asshole gaslighting its victims into believing they’re not really victims because the narcissistic asshole made a bet.
It’s supposed the be an explanation for how evil can exist despite a benevolent creator… but it sums up as a sock puppet to which the explanation is “you wouldn’t understand”
"Sorry about your wives and kids, have some new ones. It was just a prank bro."
Pretty much yeah. I was going to say an episode of Fear Factor but same thing.
No no you don't understand. You shouldn't be taking it literally it's an allegory - many theists probably
The authors didn't make a distinction between whales and fish.
