- Ok one more question and then I'll quit beating an obviously already

-
- It looks as though your saying the following:
-
- That your god allowed Satan to do as he pleased with Job. Does this
- mean that satan couldn't have if your god had said no?
- If that is true then does satan need gods ok to deal bad things on all
- people? i.e. Is all the evil that you attibute to satan first ok'ed
- by your god?
- If he doesn't need god's ok why did he need it with Job? If he does,
- then why does your god keep condoning millions of satans miseries on
- the people he "loves so much" each and every day?
