[UntoHim]

Harold let me assure you that anytime God is talking it is not small talk.

The book of Job, along with most of the Bible, is a record of what actually took place for the benefit of all mankind. Do you want to take away the book of Job like you do Revelation? Without the book of Genesis we would have no idea of how the universe and man were created. It is the record of what actually took place and since none of us were there we would be in the dark about what actually took place.

This is what is happening in Job. God knows what was said and done. Satan knows what was said and done. Job and the others around them know what was said and done but they are all long gone. What about us? We have the Word of God to tell us what was said and done. You are missing the forest for the trees my friend. Also you need to understand that the best way to interpret the bible is with the bible, and not merely with you myopic observation of a single passage.
