Lessee, God makes a completely useless and pointless bet with Satan wagering that Satan can't break Job. He then allows Satan to do everything but kill Job (I should note that he let Satan kill innocents, just because.)
How the hell is that just by any standard?

How do you justify that?

What Satan didn't realize was how foolish it was to try and "prove God wrong" when God (being omniscient) was well aware of what Job was going to choose.

Then why not just tell Satan that Job wouldn't betray him?
Also, this means that people who are truly faithful and who live up to all of god's ideals are at the most risk of God smiting them.
How is that just?
How is that fair?
If I know, beyond a doubt, that I can torture your sister and she won't disown your family, does that make it just for me to kidnap her and start doing so? Obviously not. So why does God get a free pass here?
