i guess. but job's god isn't the sort of god who bothers with a holy
ghost, afaict. i mean, come on: he has the "satan" (which clearly is
not yet the devil of later judaism and christianity) doing his work.
if that's his "pr", he's clearly not concerned with pr as we
understand it. but that, of course, is what's interesting about the
god of job.

i don't think he's either beer-swilling or ass-scratching, but he's
certainly very warrior-macho. and if it's true that he's got no tact,
it's only because, well, i mean, he's f****ing god, after all. why the
f*** does he *need* tact?
