Satan isn't evil nor bad. In the bible he has done nothing really to show he is bad he showed
some what of a good side considering he didn't want jesus to die on a roman crucifixion. To start it off
with genesis god actually lied to adam and eve the serpent told the truth and god cursed humanity.
Note why would god curse humanity? if god told the truth they would have died were they stood but
the serpent told the truth while god simply lied.
Soo.. All that Satan did to Job, was what 'good' in your world?
Remember All God did was lift the protection Job had under him. It was Satan who decided to kill Job's family and take everything he had and strike him down with sores... Satan did not have to go that way. In the beginning of the story Satan points out that Job only followed God because God gave Him so much.. If Satan believed that Job could be bought why did he take everything away?
Looks like you are guilty of not thinking things through dry sand.. again.
The stories about Job, Abraham, and Jesus are similar. Job held fast to his faith in spite of his troubles. Abraham got faith because he was bribed with promises of wealth and personal fame. Jesus refused to be bribed and he suffered troubles as a result. All of the stories involving the major biblical characters follow one of these three themes.
