@u crank:
It's really tiresome to discuss their religion with the religious when they don't even know what their book says and start contradicting the words of their own god, as you again have done here. But their book is full of contradictions, anyway, and if they haven't noticed that yet, then it's not surprising that they don't notice their own contradiction to it either. Just as the different anonymous and very human authors of the books / scrolls in the Bible have contradicted each other, and later on some people decided to put some of those books together, and some not, and called it "The Holy Bible / The Word of God".
I might come back to your post more specifically later once I find the nerve for it. But you doing things like:

i.e., putting two totally unrelated verses from two different books - or "chapters" - right together, as if this was an answer that God gave to Job, even saying "Seems like a discussion to me", while in the real story your god ranted at Job for several pages about how he must not dare question him, makes me wonder if it is even worth the hassle if you are that intellectually dishonest / incoherent.
And as if this wasn't ridiculous enough already, it wasn't even a good hack job, since this "let us reason together" from Isaiah that you quoted has nothing to do with "discussing with / questioning God", instead it is god saying "listen up, I'm gonna explain something to you", which is clear from the context:
Quote:
KJV, Isaiah 1
18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
19 If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:
20 But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.

Hell, it is even quite the opposite of God being in a mood for questioning. LOL.
@Blood splat:
Good link. This one is also fun:
