Do any Christians read Job?

And if so, do they see the explicit message about blaming victims?

    I have read it several times.

    I recall that Job was blamed by God for the things that he suffered, if that's what you mean. You word it very oddly, though. God blamed Job because Job believed he was too righteous to deserve the things that he suffered. God corrected Job, informing him that he was not so righteous that he did not deserve to suffer those things. Job is a victim of his own arrogant self-righteousness, and the blame is placed squarely on him by God himself.

    It is also a message about blaming God, when He is not the one hurting you.

    not christian...but the way i interpreted job was that god cant save all innocent people from suffering because he simply is not totally omnipotent...but he is still very powerful and you should be in awe of how powerful he is...
