He wasn't asked to do them. In the case of Eve and Jesus, he did it on his own. In the case of Job, he actually had to ask god for permission.

If god is bad for protecting Job from Satan but then temporarily removing the protection, isn't Satan worse for wanting to inflict Job in the first place? Seems like common sense.

Nope. It should have said "I have nothing to prove" to satan (and if actually a god, it didn't). Your god's a dick.

"seems like common sense".  Wow.

Yes, it's common sense. If one person murders and another sees it and doesn't stop it, most people are going to hold the actual murderer more at fault. It's fascinating that atheists try to make Satan out as less at fault, or even the hero of the account.

RE: Why did god only make exactly the number of talking animals that he needed?
Murder is an unjustified killing.  God sanctioned the slaughter of Jobs family...howsabout that for justification?  IDK, personally, about satan being some hero in the account - he's a lackey.

Lets see.  Suppose some employee of mine told me that I couldn't really know whether or not my wife loved me unless something really shitty happened to her..like the death of her children.  I'm like..okay, legit, do that - and he does.  

I'm not going to escape the subsequent murder trial, lol. Particularly if I help him, somehow..by say "lifting the protection" of my home security system on the night of the deed.

If the idea is to decide who's worse in a cast of villains...I doubt it matters much whose villainy is greater.

Yep, that employee would be your most hardworking, most loyal servant, doing all jobs asked no matter how shitty.

It's fine if you're going to apply it consistently.

RE: Why did god only make exactly the number of talking animals that he needed?
I don't think that's how the police would describe him.

Consistency?   Not really an issue for me..though, for you..obviously it is.  You've told us both that satan murdered jobs family...-and- that satan had god's seal of approval to do so.  Why on earth would you harp about consistency, lol?
