All I hear is "God didn't punish Job. He let the devil do it to prove to him that true believes never falter in their faith!"
And I say - why would God need to prove ANYTHING to Satan? Heck, he created Satan! He knew exactly what Satan would do. Alright, fine, he gave Satan a choice. Satan chose B.
If we can all agree that the Biblical devil would get his greatest enjoyment out of seeing someone being tortured for years, then didn't God play right into his hands? Kind of makes you question why, huh? He, according to the Bible (yes, this is a hypothetical) allowed Satan to torture Job to, in essence, win a bet. He allowed a man's children, land and loves to be taken from him and he allowed large, pussy boils to form all over his body just to prove something to Satan?
