Summary
Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson claimed he was “physically mauled” by a demon in his sleep, leaving claw marks on his body, which he says are still visible. Carlson described waking with intense pain, bleeding claw marks, and an overwhelming urge to read the Bible. He recounted the experience as confusing yet transformative, adding that while he doesn’t expect others to believe him, the incident profoundly impacted him.
Job has to be one of the more disgusting stories in the Bible… It was the one that I read/was taught about in church as a teen that first made me go “wait a second…”.
From the first time I heard that story, it never sat well with me, and not a single adult was ever able to give me a satisfactory explanation for why it was OK for god to straight up destroy this poor man’s life (a man who was already super dedicated to this god), including literally killing his innocent family, over some petty bet with the actual devil.
That really opened my eyes to what the OT god really was in that book, and I did not like what I saw.
Job is a great work of literature, except that its authors chickened out at the end and close it out by saying “But God can kick nine kinds of shit outta ya, so you’d better just say your hosannas and quit bitching.” Up to that point, there’s a lot in it.
