The thing is Job just kept moving forward, because his strength was survival.

Why promulgate a god? Especially one invented by a bunch of desert dwelling goat herders thousands of years ago?

Because a creator is logical and Christianity makes sense to me.

Sounds to me like God brought you here for a reason, even if right now what that means is you need to hash things out with some "fundies."

Yes. Your God did say that. I am allowed to argue, and discuss, and correct God. God is fine with our relationship. We are old friends.

That's my point. Job tried to correct God and God said he (Job) did not have that authority.

This is a lie.

Is lying okay in your particular sub-sect of Christianity?
