Talk:Guide to Job

I rather think that there may be some culturally specific comments here. At the moment is scores 11 on my personal incomprehensibility scale of 1 to 10. (Where 10 is completely incomprehensible.)--Bobbing up 13:56, 20 November 2007 (EST)

 * It's nearly pure lulz of low quality. IOW, a great uncyclopedia entry! CЯacke ®
 * I mainly wrote it just to have something there. I wouldn't mind if what I wrote was completely scrapped when someone comes along to do a serious write-up.  --Edgerunner  76 14:16, 20 November 2007 (EST)

Innanity
I think Bob's comment is very telling. We are RationalWiki. If we hold that the things we write about are irrational, then perhaps incomprehensibility is what we're going for. In many ways you can't fight insanity with sanity, and you can't fight irrationality with rationality.

There was a Simpsons episode, Missionary: Impossible, were the missionaries prior to Homer said that they ridiculed away the beliefs of the island natives. It works in reverse. In fact, it might be the only way that can work. Ridicule might be the only cure for insanity, irrationality, religion, etc. --Edgerunner  76 14:28, 20 November 2007 (EST)
 * Uh, Edgy, I think you mispelled "inanity". Unless you were talking about the state of bliss following having your brains fucked out by a horny Sumerian goddess, in which case, as you were. (Because that actually sounds kind of fun.) EVDebs 14:33, 20 November 2007 (EST)
 * No problem. I am picky about my spelling.  I hate when I misspell something.  --Edgerunner  76 14:42, 20 November 2007 (EST)
 * Actually I wasn't saying it was irrational, but - to me - incomprehensible (probably) for cultural reasons. Who is Monty Hall? What is this gameshow? Why is it relevant to Job? Where do the doors fit in? Why should there be "donk's" behind them? Why is this a bad thing?--Bobbing up 15:20, 20 November 2007 (EST)

En passant, Job isn't irrational, it's didactic poetry. -- AKjeldsen Godspeed! 15:32, 20 November 2007 (EST)
 * A Quick Google will help with that. Or Wikipedia. Majintahu (talk) 03:17, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
