    If you read it the right way, the book of Jonah reads like a really weird episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm.

        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”

          It’s also completely undermined in Isaiah.

          I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.

          Isaiah 45:7. Evil exists because God creates evil.
