Well, in my case, I can learn a lot from looking at the bickering. The study of human psychology fascinates me, and reading through the book of Job is, in part, a case study in human psychology. I can also see many of the same fallacious arguments being used today, even by Christians, when dealing with someone going through extreme suffering. (Also, a good friend of mine has been going through a lot of suffering lately, so the book of Job has some personal relevance to me.)

Anyway, there's nothing wrong with your attitude. Just as people have different learning styles, the bible has different teaching styles and different themes. The same lessons are generally repeated in several different ways in the bible, so that whoever reads it will benefit from it. Also, for people who like one style over another, they each can learn and share what they know with each other, so that everyone benefits.

Make sense?
