James wanted to argue that the Creator isn't an evil-doing
deity in the Book of Job, contrary to claims for Yahweh's
justice and goodness, so he lied about the story to make it say
what he wanted to hear, implicitly admitting that the
Biblical version disputed him. Not so bright, but that's James.

You tacitly admitted the Book of Job disputes your reading
when you began lying about what it says.

It says nothing - the characters in it are not real (?) the author dead
(sic) and so it says what the reader inscribes it with.

Your lies about _Job_ say you can't argue for your reading
honestly.

no need - you've shown stupidity in reading Job theologically - using a
dictionary - now in what post-modernism does to any text. You've retreated
from the idea of Job saying anything factual - and floated the idea that to
express a personal opinion about a fictional story can be a lie. You have
also established that all you Gnostic ramblings elsewhere are underpinned by
a slavish trust in the truth of what is written in the Bible.

In a way true. The idiocy of your reading is plain enough.
But your attempt to defend it by lying about _Job_ is
additional evidence that you're full of crap. The same applies
to the lies you tell about me. E.g.:
> You've retreated from the idea of Job saying anything factual -

You're lying again, James. I never and nowhere argued the
Book of Job is stating historical facts. On the contrary:
I've repeatedly said that isn't my position. You shift between
b.s. about _Job_ and about me.
> - and floated the idea that to

You're lying again, James. I noted the difference between
your recently admitted desire to re-write _Job_ and your
pretence to be discussing the version of the story given in the
Bible.

What creator? The Gerbil who Ate the Old Universe, then Farted?

There are a number of compelling reasons to dismiss the idea that
Yahweh exists, or ever did. A non-geocentric universe should suffice.
