As someone already mentioned, Satan merely tempts man to do all the wickedness, kind of like how Charlie Manson got his followers to kill, Hitler got everyone to genocide the Jews.
He doesn't have any real, or physical power over man except to suggest. But lately He suggest some pretty strange things to people! He's come along way from telling us to eat God's beans.

God isn't pissed off at that any more, and He even realizes it's okay to make a mistake or two.

God just gets mad when we blame Satan or evolution for all the crazy shit we do and being He is Almighty can be real hard to control when He goes into a rage.
Genius are like that sometimes. They can be real cool but the slightest little thing sets them off.

It used to be a common practice to burn a goat to get Him not to do something harmful, but He got immune to that, or maybe realized it doesn't smell all that pleasing.
He even made His only son human so that people could kick the crap out of him and then kill Him, kind of retribution for all the times He did all the things He did. Even Jesus didn't expect to be killed, bet He was surprised when He woke up and first realized He was still alive! God felt sorry for Jesus, so he gave Him his very own religion and a bunch of people to follow Him to boot!

In God's defense, He at least gives us nice things in return after annihilates us, like rainbows :love: , and sure Job probably missed his first family, but he did get more after the smoke cleared! :thumbs:

He might do a lot of mean stuff but in the end, if you just grin and bear it, He'll let you live with Him, and praise Him forever, and ever!

What more could you ask for!

But what about Job's first family?
