The Christian Story of Job ("South Park")

Amber Larson, Ashley Wells, Dhr. Seven, Wisdom Quarterly; South Park; TubeLoob
(South Park) The Book of Job suggests God causes men their pains, even if only to prove a point to his sidekick and hitman the devil, Satan/Lucifer/Beelzebub, and his henchmen the demons.

Job's Character and Wealth
BibleGateway.com (Judeo-Christian Bible, English Standard Version)
There was a man in the land of Uz whose name was Job, and that man was blameless and upright, one who feared God and turned away from evil. There were born to him seven sons and three daughters. He possessed 7,000 sheep, 3,000 camels, 500 yoke of oxen, and 500 female donkeys, and very many [human] servants [slaves given by God?], so that this man was the greatest of all the people of the east. 

Hey, baby, I'm godly and rich.
His sons used to go and hold a feast in the house of each one on his day, and they would send and invite their three sisters to eat and drink with them. And when the days of the feast had run their course, Job would send and consecrate them, and he would rise early in the morning and offer burnt offerings according to the number of them all. For Job said, “It may be that my children have sinned, and cursed[a] God in their hearts.” Thus Job did continually.

Satan Allowed to Test Job
"If God doesn't exist, then who wrote the Bible? Think about it!" Oy vey. She's not kidding.
.
Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord [plural gods], and Satan[b] also came among them. The Lord said to Satan, “From where have you come?” Satan answered the Lord and said, “From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking up and down on it.”  

God told Satan we could attack Job!
And the Lord said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, who fears [is in awe of] God and turns away from evil?” 

Then Satan answered the Lord and said, “Does Job fear God for no reason? Have you not put a hedge around him and his house and all that he has, on every side?

You have blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the land. But stretch out your hand and touch all that he has, and he will curse you to your face.” And the Lord said to Satan, “Behold, all that he has is in your hand. Only against him do not stretch out your hand.” So Satan went out from the presence of the Lord. More
  1. Job 1:5 The Hebrew word bless is used euphemistically for curse in 1:5, 11; 2:5, 9
  2. Job 1:6 Hebrew the Accuser or the Adversary; so throughout chapters 1-2
(TL) Richard Dawkins (RIP), with the help of animation and new software, comes to life: The best reason to be a fear stricken Christian is the hypothetical question, "What if you're wrong?" If one believes atheism -- or any other religion -- one is in big trouble. The only safe thing to do is believe Christianity, cower in fear, ask no challenging questions, and just do as one is told. It's the Christian way. Is it any wonder membership rates and church attendance is dropping to such dismal depths?

Economy Sinks; How to Nail Job Interviews


What is it that certain people say or do during a job interview that makes them stand out? Why do some people struggle to find work, while others land a job in no time? I wanted to know, and the only way to find out was to experience the interview from the other side of the table.

If I could be the one asking the interview questions, not answering, I could see first hand what made candidates stand out. I could then take that knowledge and cater my behavior in any future interview to give myself the best chance of getting hired.

First, I needed to create a "corporate presence." I found a company that rented office space by the hour. It was in a downtown Seattle high-rise, had a killer view, and came with a secretary, who'd call me once an interviewee arrived. It was perfect.

Next, I posted a job on craigslist for a marketing coordinator at a "soon to launch" web company. Literally minutes after the posting, resumes poured in, 142 on the first day, 356 in the first week.

Finally, giving the interview wasn't enough. I wanted to be able to go back, review the footage, and dissect answers, body language, everything, to really see what makes someone look good or bad. So before scheduling any interviews, I got online, bought a couple of small cameras, picked up a couple lamps and lamp shades, and with a drill, some super glue, a little bit of cardboard, and electric tape, I constructed 2 hidden camera lamps.

Of course to make sure everything was legally kosher, everyone was required to sign and fax back an appearance release waiver before an interview was scheduled. The reason, "some company meetings will be filmed and we needed proof you'd be comfortable appearing on a video blog if hired."

After 6 interviews I decided to step down and have a friend take my place. I wanted to review the rest of the interviews from a completely objective perspective.
28 interviews later, and what did I learn? 22 tips

1. Cover letters are worthless

If you think a well-crafted cover letter (or email) explaining your lack of experience is going to make you stand out, you're wrong and shouldn't even waste your time. With 100's of people applying, there's just no time to read your "pitch". It's all about your resume. That's what sells you. That's what gets you the job interview.

2. 10 seconds to sell or say so long

Unless your resume catches the interviewer's eye in 10 seconds it's over, you're done. So the big question is how do I catch the interviewer's eye? Here comes the best advice on how to get a job interview you'll ever get. Cater your resume to the job description!!! I can't stress this point enough. It's imperative that you cater your resume to each position you apply for. And I mean taking each line on the job description and writing a line on your resume to reflect your experience with regard to that line.

Yes, it takes more time than sending the same resume to 100's of jobs, but you're far better off applying to a fraction of those jobs with a resume specifically written for each job. Put yourself in the interviewer's shoes. Their job is to hire the most qualified candidate. They've been given a set of qualifications to look for: aka the job description, and that's exactly what they're after, so give it to them!

3. Be on time

There is no excuse for it, none! You don't want a... [19 more tips and videos] More>>

Job? Work for Obama

WASHINGTON – Calling on Americans to volunteer, President Barack Obama signed a $5.7 billion national service bill today that triples the size of the AmeriCorps service program over the next eight years and expands ways for students to earn money for college. "What this legislation does, then, is to help harness this patriotism and connect deeds to needs," said Obama, a former community organizer in Chicago. More>>
