Atheists, what book in the bible do you find to be the most laughably ridiculous?

There are so many books in the Bible that extremely silly, but which one do you find to be the most hilarious of them all? I've read much of the Bible and I find it hard to choose a single one out of many that I find to be the craziest, but I think the one I would choose if I had to pick one would be the book of Job.

Poor Job was a good man who unfortunately ended up being the victim of an sick bet between God and Satan. God did it just to prove a point to Satan, I mean how silly is that? The poor dude lost his family, was cursed with terrible sicknesses, and even his own friends mocked him. In the end God never really explained to Job why such a thing happened to him, and God just blabbed a bunch of nonsense and pretty much told Job he had no right to question God's righteousness. Job never got his original family back, oh but he did get daughters that were more beautiful than the ones he had previously.

Update:

@Jason

You're saying atheists are narrow minded? Hoo boy, I think you need to take a look in the mirror.

    The fact you said that ? reading what you said? just shows Just HOW Ignorant you are concerning the Bible, You Obviously have not studied it, and that is exactly what The Bible say's you would say as well

    1 Cor. 2:14 The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit.

    This totally explains your attitude, you simple do NOT have the mental capacity to understand it.

    People who are ignorant? Fear and ridicule that which they do not understand

    YOU are doing a great job showing believers in the Lord Jesus

    why He needs to destroy all the rotten seeds of this earth.

    Take a look at your followers, a pathetic bunch are they not?

    The good message has not been preached since the early

    church and for this reason the bible is not understood.

    I am going to give you a few lessons sinch you asked.

    The first commandment is to hate your familly. All

    those who party, do drugs, and are not interested in Jesus.

    Job knew this scripture for it was preached in the O.T. as

    well. The Lord set satan up, look at my righteous servant

    Job. The Lord knew that Job's sons hated him and were a

    blot in the life of Job. God got rid of Job's dirty seed and

    gave Him daughters that were fair ( full o Light) This is

    just a short precis of what God will do when he returns to

    His earth and cleans it up, are you ready?

    The point of the story was to show Job's faith but...

    Who cares. You obviously don't.

    A lot of people (Atheists and people who believe other religions)

    Are too narrow minded, and take the words literally and don't think about it.

    E.g. If you commit a sin with you hand eye or heart, you must remove it from your body.

    -the bible.

    What it means (Non literally) Take responsibility because it can have consequences.

    The thing I find most ridiculous.

    Solomon. he had 100+ wives.

    I mean, he was practically the wealthiest man that ever lived but...still...

    @Jason, oh come on, if you really want to call athiests narrow minded, I can almost understand, because you're religous and surely you've been indoctrinated to belive that, but calling other religions narrow minded? I don't get it. All you guys are basically just fighting over who has the best imaginary friend.

    Anyway, I feel the whole thing is tied for last. Genisis is really out there, though.

    I'm fond of posting ridiculous Bible passages here and I thought I'd step out of my comfort zone this evening and post a new one for your reading pleasure:

    So the man took his concubine and sent her outside to them, and they raped her and abused her throughout the night, and at dawn they let her go. At daybreak the woman went back to the house where her master was staying, fell down at the door and lay there until daylight. When her master got up in the morning and opened the door of the house and stepped out to continue on his way, there lay his concubine, fallen in the doorway of the house, with her hands on the threshold. He said to her, ‘Get up; let’s go.’ But there was no answer. Then the man put her on his donkey and set out for home.” (Judges 19:25-28)

    I honestly cannot pick out a book that MOST ridiculous as they all contain utter BULLSHlT. It's like asking whether you like sex better than sex.

    I particularly like Deuteronomy. It is intriguing that the Bible requires rape victims to marry their attacker.

    The Book of Revelation is so trippy.

    That's difficult. Probably the endless idiotic rulebooks like Leviticus and Deuteronomy.

    Genesis.

    The whole creation myth is laughable.

    The one where stupid stuff happens; and before you ask, yes that is very vague.
