Also everything he lost is treated indistinguishably from property - e.g. he dismissss his wife to sleep with other men, he's made whole by being given more children (probably with some other woman/en), as if having more children would replace the children you lost - it's an insane piece of text.

Exactly.

Also, ~~slaves,~~ I mean servants are all virtually identical, right? Not like you can get attached to people who are just servants.

And god's divine plan for all of those people goes out the door as soon as Satan is like, "Is this one person really faithful though? If I take all the things you granted him, will he still love you?"

But a good representation if god existed, we'd all be toys. God would've planned all this from the start with his omnipotence when he set all the pieces in motion like an enormous rube goldberg mess to torture people for no reason. Create evil indeed.

I find it hilarious we still come to the Gnostic conclusion repeatedly even after 2kish years
