I'm with you. I think Job got the nastiest deal ever written. Also like you, I never got how relating that story could make me think more highly of those that drove the bus during that ride. That's how you reward a 'good and faithful servant'? Leave me out. I'll take my chances.

I did get one thing to hang onto from Job. I heard a woman describing her life during the great depression "My God. We were as poor as Job's turkey."

So if the Pluto experience is comparable to Job I'm pretty sure I'd just as soon not take a helping of that, too.

Thanks for another wonderful post with information that I'm really not familiar with. I really do appreciate it.
