Biblical Character

The Resume

    Lived in the land of Uz
    Protagonist of the 'Book of Job'
    Lived in the time of Moses
    Known as Ayub in the Qur'an
    Rich as hell

Why he might be annoying:

    Like all Biblical figures, there is an argument over whether he existed or not.
    He got the living shit beaten out of him by Satan as a cute little bet with God.
    Satan did not believe he would remain faithful to God if he lost all his wealth. God then decided to allow things to kick Job's ass to prove he was and always will be his bitch.
    Plot hole: Why is God making a bet with Satan when gambling is supposedly immoral?
    Orthodox Jews believe he was one of three advisors to the Egyptian Pharaoh that tried putting the Children of Israel on ice.
    When the Pharaoh discussed killing all male Jewish babies, he decided it was best to twiddle his thumbs and not say anything.
    The 'Book of Job' is a didactic poem and considered one of the most complex books of the Bible.
    He lived to be 248 years old, which must have been hell on Uz's Social Security funds.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He was 'righteous' centuries before the term was cool.
    He knew that his Redeemer lived.
    His wife urged him to tell God to shove it up His ass (paraphrased) but he responded, 'The Lord gives, and the Lord takes away; blessed be the name of the Lord.'
    Like Tom Petty, he wouldn't back down.
    As a result of his rigid love of God (or maybe in spite of it), he became wealthier than he was before.
    He lived to see his great grandchildren.
    Satan lost a lot of money betting against him, causing him to put up his third mortgage on Hell.
    He is considered a prophet of Islam.
    His wife was doing a good Job.
