Chapter 21 - Life isn't just
Job complains about the wicked who still live and prosper as being evidence that God's ways are not consistent.
*Why Do Bad Things Happen to Good People*
A classic element of the problem of evil is man's confusion over why justice is not always delivered in this lifetime. The juxtaposition of the successful wicked to the suffering righteous is so powerful that it can elicit the most deep frustration possible to man. Metaphysical algebra pushes the justice into the next life, but this is not a satisfying answer to those who see the hand of God in every action. If God is never involved, then it makes sense for inconsistencies to arise. But if every event is dictated by an omnipotent God, then the abundance of inconsistencies can be immeasurably frustrating.
