I didn't remember the Job article being on the same level as the religion article. So I looked over that article (and the wife one), and I agree with you Keith that those articles are on a different plane than the religion article.
But I see that in job article Steve actually tells us and explains the reason behind his method. I think that reading that bit again made me better crystalize his approach. Here's a reminder of what he said:
"Of any of this makes you mad, that’s a step in the right direction. Anger is a higher level of consciousness than apathy, so it’s a lot better than being numb all the time. Any emotion — even confusion — is better than apathy. If you work through your feelings instead of repressing them, you’ll soon emerge on the doorstep of courage. And when that happens, you’ll have the will to actually do something about your situation and start living like the powerful human being you were meant to be."
If you're mad you're supposed to take a look at what you're mad at (content or delivery) and why.
If you're pleased, then you also need to evaluate this.
If you're confused, then you're debating some topics in your head, which is still good.
If you don't think anything at all, you're not examining things at all.
